Abstract
This cultural resource survey was conducted to determine whether or not the College Heights neighborhood in Fredericksburg, Virginia contains structures that have maintained their architectural integrity. First, I surveyed the 302 buildings that comprise the College Heights neighborhood. Next, I prepared a summary of the basic history of the area using sources from the local libraries and online. Finally, I analyzed the data from the survey and formed my recommendations. The data showed that the majority of the buildings in the College Heights neighborhood could be considered architecturally significant as they were good examples of mid-20th century modern architecture. My final recommendation was that further study was needed into the time period of the 1940s to the 1960s to see whether this neighborhood was historically significant during that period as well, and therefore eligible for the National Register.
