Fairfax Hills
SCOPE OF WORK: National Register Nomination
Federal and Kansas Historic Tax Credit Applications
CLIENT: Old Fairfax Housing Partners, LLC
INVESTMENT: $25,500,000 (Anticipated)
COMPLETION PENDING: December 2007
Since its construction in 1944 to house wartime defense workers, Fairfax Hills has provided affordable housing to workers employed at various industrial plants in the Fairfax Industrial District of Kansas City, Kansas. The 48 red brick buildings, artfully arranged across a rolling 33-acre site, embody the design ideals espoused by the Federal Housing Authority during this period. They are neither overtly Modern nor clearly traditional, but rather reflect a unique amalgamation of Colonial Revival design and Modern architectural philosophy. The rehabilitation plan currently underway will substantially rehabilitate the aging infrastructure and create more-functional, modern apartment units for the community that relies on this housing.
From the outset Rosin Preservation has worked closely with the client, the project architect and the contractor to ensure that all work will meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation as well as the needs of future residents. This includes facilitating internal discussions among the project team members as well as conversations with the state and federal project reviewers. Rosin Preservation prepared the National Register nomination for the Fairfax Hills Historic District as well as the state and federal tax credit applications.
