Additional Property Attributes

The Site consists of two separate, irregular shaped parcels (City Assessor's Tax Map 241, Lots 4 and 25) bisected by Mechanics Row, and is situated within an urban area of the City of Auburn. Land use in the Site vicinity consists of a combination of commercial, residential, and municipal land uses, as well as vacant, undeveloped wooded areas.

The eastern portion of the Site (Lot 25) is comprised of an municipal parking lot. Lot 25 is improved with asphalt-paved parking/driveway areas, concrete sidewalks, streetlamps, and landscaped areas. The western portion the Site (Lot 4) is comprised of undeveloped, wooded land. The eastern and western portions of the Site are separated by Mechanics Row.

In 1886 (or earlier), a hotel and carriage houses were located in the northern and central areas of Lot 25, portions of a livery and residential dwelling encroached on the southwestern boundary of Lot 25, and Lot 4 consisted of undeveloped, wooded land. A machine shop was observed encroaching on the northwestern boundary of Lot 25 between approximately 1902 and 1914. By 1922, two personal parking garages were developed west of the hotel, in the northern area of Lot 25. In addition, an automotive service garage was developed in the central area of Lot 25, and a livery, automotive dealer/service garage, and residential dwelling were developed at locations that encroached on the southwestern boundary of Lot 25. The hotel was demolished by 1961. According to the Auburn Fire Department, one of the former Site buildings was occupied by a rug factory and was destroyed by fire in the late 1970's. The location of the rug factory was not identified on Sanborn maps or other historical resources provided to Ransom. By 1976, the former Site buildings were demolished, and Lot 25 was redeveloped as a parking lot. A parking garage that encroaches on the northern boundary of Lot 25 was constructed in approximately 2003. Lot 4 currently remains undeveloped.
