The near west historic district has a continuous group- <br /> ing of properties having a sense of cohesiveness ex- <br /> presead through a similarity of characteristics of <br /> style, period, or method of construction [Section 4 <br /> (g) ] ; i. e. , numerous architectural styles are repre- <br /> sented in the historic district . Among the most <br /> popular are : Colonial Revival (used I06 times) , fol- <br /> lowed by Queen Anne (used 60 times) , and Craftsman <br /> (used 39 times) . <br /> 5 . The near west historic district has a unique location <br /> or singular physical characteristic that makes it an <br /> established or familiar feature [Section 4 (i) ] ; i. e. , <br /> the historic district is located directly west of the <br /> central part of the City of Decatur where the original <br /> settlement occurred. Out of 284 buildings, 248 are <br /> listed as contributing to the significance of the his- <br /> toric district. <br /> Therefore, based on the above findings, the Historical and Ar- <br /> chitectural Sites Commission recommends to the City Council of <br /> the City of Decatur to approvs the 3esignation of the north <br /> central portion of the near west as a histoiic district. <br />
