United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Edgewater Place Historic District Saint Joseph County, IN Name of Property County and State Sections 9-end page 39 Use the UTM system UTM References Datum (indicated on USGS map): NAD 1927 or NAD 1983 1. Zone: Easting: Northing: 2. Zone: Easting: Northing: 3. Zone: Easting: Northing: 4. Zone: Easting : Northing: Verbal Boundary Description (Describe the boundaries of the property.) Beginning at the southeast corner of Lincoln Way and East Monroe Street, face northeast and follow the south side of Monroe Street, crossing River Avenue and Edgewater Drive, to the edge of the Saint Joseph River. Follow the riverbank in a southeasterly direction to a line extended northeast from the south boundary of 655 River Avenue. Turn southwest and follow the south boundary line of 655 River Avenue to the east side of Lincoln Way. Turn northwest and follow the east side of Lincoln Way, crossing Bronson and Arch Streets, to the south edge of East Monroe Street, or the place of beginning. Boundary Justification (Explain why the boundaries were selected.) The district boundaries follow the locally designated historic district boundaries established in 1980 but extend east across Edgewater Drive to the west bank of the Saint Joseph River. Since this section was part of the Edgewater Place plat in 1919 and developed with street lighting, it is felt that this narrow strip between the river and Edgewater Drive should be included in the National Register boundaries. The boundaries have a firm north and south edge with contemporary office and infrastructure development and a firm west boundary with Lincoln Way.
