PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH STAFF COMMENTS One-story wood frame building with gabled roof, vertical wood siding, vertical fixed windows, and covered entry with double doors. The church building at 1000 Atkinson Road was moved onto the lot from an unknown location in 1964. It first served as the home of the established Jackson Chapel congregation. In the late 1960s to early 1970s, it became the gathering place for the Young’s Chapel A. M. E. Church congregation, who owned the property until late 2020. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building does not appear to convey architectural significance. b. Historical association. The building is associated with the Jackson Chapel and Young’s Chapel congregations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The building does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city.
