Specifications include, but are not limited to: conduct an intensive historic resources survey of at least 43 known African American historic andcultural resources. This survey will then be compiled into a Multiple Property Documentation Form (MPDF), fromwhich two properties will be selected for individual nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.Properties within the selected list of resources span the entire course of Topeka’s history, dating from 1854(Constitution Hall) to Topeka’s Urban Renewal era of the 1960s. Recognized historic properties within the listinclude St. Mark’s AME Church, Monroe Elementary School, the United State Courthouse and Post Office, andthe Tennessee Town Exoduster Neighborhood. A list of 54 individuals, homes, churches, schools andneighborhoods have been identified as significant to the development of Topeka’s African American culturalheritage. This number, however, may increase or decrease based on the results of our selected consultant’sresearch. Many additional resources are known to be demolished, but will nonetheless be incorporated into thehistorical context of the MPDF to provide a more complete record of Topeka’s African American history.
