1.0 Introduction

Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (ACI) conducted a Cultural Resources Assessment Survey (CRAS) to evaluate intersection improvements to U.S. Highway 41 (US 41) from Ringling Boulevard to Main Street in the City of Sarasota, Sarasota County, Florida as part of the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study. The limits of the project extend along US 41 from approximately 350 feet south of the Ringling Boulevard intersection to approximately 350 feet north of the Main Street intersection and approximately 250 feet east and west on Ringling Boulevard and Main Street. Intersection improvements will include the development of roundabouts at the intersections, which will incorporate the current number of lanes. The project is located in Section 19, Township 36 South, and Range 18 East, in Sarasota County, Florida (United States Geological Survey [USGS] 1973). See Figure 1-1 for Project Location Map. The purpose of this survey was to locate and identify any cultural resources within the project Area of Potential Effects (APE) and to assess their significance in terms of eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the City of Sarasota’s Register of Historic Properties (CSRHP). Because of the project type and location of proposed work, the archaeology APE was limited to the existing ROW of US 41; and the historic APE included the archaeological APE and immediately adjacent property parcels within the project limits.

This CRAS was conducted in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and its implementing regulations in 36 CFR Part 800 (Protection of Historic Properties), as amended, in addition to the Archaeological and Historic Preservation Act, as amended, and Executive Order 11593. The resulting report complies with Chapters 267 and 373, Florida Statutes (FS), as revised, as well as Florida’s Coastal Management Program. All work is in conformity with the standards and guidelines contained in the Florida Division of Historical Resources’ (FDHR) Cultural Resource Management Standards and Operational Manual: Module 3 (FDHR 2003) and Part 2, Chapter 8 (Archaeological and Historical Resources) of the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) revised Project Development and Environment Manual (FDOT 2017) and meets specifications set forth in Rule 1A-46, Florida Administrative Code (FAC).

Based on the results of field survey conducted in December 2016 and the scope of the undertaking, it appears that the proposed intersection improvements and construction of a roundabout at US 41 and Ringling Boulevard will have no effect to any listed or which appear to be potentially eligible historic resources. The NRHP-listed Downtown Sarasota Historic District (8SO06730) is in close proximity to, but outside the project APE. The proposed work will not alter in any way the character-defining features of the district that constitute its NRHP-eligibility. As a result, the proposed roundabout at US 41 and Main Street will have no effect to any listed or which appear to be potentially eligible historic resources.


FIGURE 1-1 PROJECT LOCATION MAP


1.1 Project Description

This project proposes roadway and intersection improvements along US 41 from Ringling Boulevard to Main Street. This is one of several improvements identified to enhance access and travel conditions for alternative transportation modes along the US 41 corridor as part of the Connecting Downtown to the Bayfront Project, which stems from the City of Sarasota's Downtown Master Plan. US 41 is a four-lane divided major arterial roadway with a posted speed of 40 miles per hour (mph). Ringling Boulevard is a two-lane divided roadway and Main Street is a two-lane undivided roadway. The area surrounding the intersections consists mainly of commercial, recreational, and residential land uses.

Under the Florida Scenic Highways program, US 41 in this region is designated as a scenic highway, the “Tamiami Trail – Windows to the Gulf.”

1.2 Project Purpose &Need

The purpose of this project is to identify roadway and intersection improvements along US 41 from Ringling Boulevard to Main Street to enhance non-motorized connectivity and access, as well as vehicular traffic flow and operations, between the City of Sarasota's Downtown Central Business District (CBD) and the Bayfront area. Improvements to the existing signalized intersections, including the consideration of a roundabout alternative, will be evaluated. As a major arterial roadway with high traffic volumes and speeds, US 41 currently poses a physical and visual barrier to residents, employees, and visitors by separating the primary community and regional focal points of Downtown Sarasota from amenities and destinations along the waterfront.

The need for the project is based on the following criteria:

PRIMARY CRITERIA

AREA WIDE NETWORK/SYSTEM LINKAGE: Improve Non-Motorized Mobility The overall goal of the Connecting Downtown to the Bayfront Project is to improve mobility for non-motorized modes of transportation, such as pedestrians and bicyclists, between the Downtown and Bayfront areas of the City of Sarasota with an emphasis on pedestrian comfort. This project is intended to provide a safe, convenient, and attractive crossing for pedestrians and bicyclists by improving travel conditions along US 41 at the intersections with Ringling Boulevard and Main Street. The intersection improvements will complement those planned for other intersections along US 41 to improve traffic flow throughout the corridor.


SECONDARY CRITERIA

OPERATIONS: Enhance Intersection Operational Performance The project is anticipated to enhance intersection operational performance, particularly for motorists traveling along US 41.

SAFETY: Enhance Safety Conditions The project is also expected to enhance safety conditions for all travelers, particularly for non-motorists crossing US 41. Due to the high travel speeds on US 41, the roadway creates a physical and visual barrier that separates the primary community and regional focal points of Downtown Sarasota from natural waterfront amenities and destinations. A total of 31 non-fatal crashes were recorded at the intersection of US 41 at Ringling Boulevard and a total of 24 non-fatal crashes were recorded at the intersection of US 41 at Main Street during the five-year period from 2010 through 2014. Four crashes at the intersection of US 41 at Main Street involved pedestrians. As the project is part of the US 41 Multimodal Emphasis Corridor Program, the intersection improvements will help establish a linkage along US 41 between land use and transportation strategies (connecting identified community focal points) through urban design solutions that improve walking, bicycling, and transit accessibility conditions. Specifically, the project is intended to provide smaller, more manageable crossings for non-motorists in an area with documented vulnerable user crashes, as well as reduce the number and severity of conflict points between motorists and non-motorists.

SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEMAND: Community Expressed Need Through the development of the City of Sarasota's Downtown Master Plan (beginning in 1999), community residents have continuously worked with City of Sarasota staff to identify transportation improvement strategies along US 41 to reconnect the City of Sarasota's Downtown CBD and Bayfront areas. The intent of the City of Sarasota's Downtown Master Plan is to guide the development of a better integrated transportation system for all travel modes while maintaining the character and theme of the downtown area. The proposed project is an integral part of this plan, as well as the Connecting Downtown to the Bayfront Project and US 41 Multimodal Emphasis Corridor Program, envisioned from extensive public involvement and supported by the community.

1.3 Consistency with Transportation Plans

The project is included as a priority in the Sarasota/Manatee Metropolitan Planning Organization's (MPO) 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) dated December 14, 2015 and the Sarasota/Manatee Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) Fiscal Year 2017/2018 - 2021/2022 (adopted June 19, 2017/Amended September 25, 2017). Additionally, PD&E and Preliminary Engineering phases for this project are funded in the FDOT Adopted Five Year Work Program Fiscal Year 2018-2022, updated October 10, 2017. The PD&E phase is scheduled to be completed in Fiscal Year 2019.


The project is compatible and consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and development goals. This project is identified in the City of Sarasota’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (Fiscal Year 2017-21) as a Congestion Management System project (Project Number 17 L-O-S 001706).

1.4 Description of the APE and Project Setting

The project segment of US 41 is located in Section 19, Township 36 South, Range 18 East, in Sarasota County, Florida (USGS 1973). The project limits extend along US 41 from approximately 350 feet south of the Ringling Boulevard intersection to approximately 350 feet north of the Main Street intersection and approximately 250 feet east and west on Ringling Boulevard and Main Street (Figure 1-1). The section of US 41 from north of Main Street to south 1st Street and Gulfstream Avenue from west of Sunset Drive to east of Cocoanut Avenue is being resurfaced under a separate contract with the FDOT (FMN 438137-1).

As defined in 36 CFR Part § 800.16(d), the APE is the “geographic area or areas within which an undertaking may directly or indirectly cause alterations in the character or use of historic properties, if any such properties exist.” Based on the scale and nature of the activities, it is unlikely that the project will result in any effects outside of the immediate footprint of construction. There does not exist a significant potential for indirect (visual or audible) or cumulative effects as a result of the type of activity included in the project description. Therefore, because of the project type and location of proposed work, the archaeology APE was limited to the existing ROW of US 41; and the historic APE included the archaeological APE and immediately adjacent property parcels within the project limits.

The project area can be characterized as an extensively developed commercial area, with high rise residential buildings (Photo 1-1) and recreational facilities (Photo 1-2). Land use along the east and west side is primarily mixed residential and commercial, while land use along the south side is primarily public/recreational (Sarasota Bayfront). East side of Main Street in close proximity, but outside the APE, is the NRHP-listed Downtown Sarasota Historic District (8SO06730). There are other roundabouts located on nearby streets, including one at the intersection of Pineapple and Central within the NRHP-listed Downtown Sarasota Historic District (8SO06730). Therefore, it does not appear that the proposed improvements will alter the character-defining features of the district that constitute its NRHP-eligibility.

The Shift from Downtown to Bayfront

As the 1960’s approached, a new era of development and expansion was ushered in which brought a shift from the historic downtown to the Bayfront (Photos 1-3 through 1-6). While the downtown area remained the center of community activities in the 1950s, the spread was slowly but surely moving outward. Dredging campaigns allowed the city of Sarasota to expand the Bayfront area further west, and US 41 was rerouted to hug the Sarasota Bay (LaHurd 2014). In conjunction with the rerouting project, a new Ringling Bridge and Causeway was built, its starting point stretching just to the north of the newly dredged highway. While the overall intent of the road and bridge project was to show off the natural beauty of the Bayfront area and to serve as a gateway to the keys, the project controversially cut off the downtown area from the Sarasota Bay (Shank 2014). Within the project area, the Church of the Redeemer (SO06750) arrived at its current location in 1950 and was led by Col. J. Hamilton Gillespie, the first mayor of Sarasota and founder of the area’s first public library.

Large shopping centers such as the Ringling Shopping Center (1955) and South Gate Shopping Center (1957) were erected to service the high-rise development occurring along the Bayfront. In 1959, the Arvida Corporation began developing Bird Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key. Upscale condominiums such as the 10-story Gulf Stream Towers (1964) were constructed in the increasingly popular Modernist style that eschewed the Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Mission architectural styles that had been popular in the city for decades. The construction of Marina Mar (now known as Marina Jack) and Island Park on the west side of the APE was meant to entice wealthy yacht owners and other jetsetters looking for a cosmopolitan atmosphere.

While the real estate and development boom spurred many positive developments such as racial integration and increased economic opportunities for residents, historic resources such as the beloved Lido Casino and Hover Arcade (home to the Sarasota City Hall) were demolished in the 1960’s as the Bayfront and keys became increasingly sought-after areas of development. As the 20th century continued, the Bayfront became increasingly cut off the from the rest of the city. By the 1990s, widespread development and a new appreciation of Sarasota’s unique character resulted in the revitalization of the downtown area as well as the increased recognition of the area’s architectural significance. Today, the City of Sarasota is looking for new ways to ease the flow of traffic along the Bayfront and make it more hospitable to tourists, residents, pedestrians, and cyclists.

2.0 Background Research

The field survey was preceded by background research, which included a comprehensive review of the Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) Report Numbers 14113 and 14258 (FDOT 2016), archaeological and historical literature, records and other documents and data pertaining to the project area was conducted. This research was conducted to ascertain the types of cultural resources known in the project area and vicinity, their cultural affiliations, site location information, and other relevant data. This included a review of sites listed in the NRHP, the Florida Master Site File (FMSF), cultural resource survey reports, published books and articles, unpublished manuscripts, maps, historic aerials, a review of the Sarasota quadrangle map (USGS 1973), the Sarasota County Property Appraiser, Sarasota County Geographical Information Systems (via internet), the Sarasota County History Center, City of Sarasota’s Register of Historic Properties, and information from the files of ACI. The FMSF data used in this report were initially obtained in October 2016 but updated in January 2018.

Archaeological background research revealed that the portions of two previously recorded prehistoric archaeological sites (8SO00043 and 8SO00099) are recorded adjacent to the APE. However, the APE is highly disturbed with the addition of fill, utilities, and pavement, thus the likelihood of finding intact cultural resources was considered low.

In addition to the two previously mentioned prehistoric archaeological sites, one historic archaeological site and four other prehistoric archaeological sites are located within one half mile of the APE (Figure 2-1). However, all of these sites, except a portion of 8SO00043, have been destroyed (Almy et al. 1977; Weisman and Clay 2000; FMSF).

Background research also included the review of several CRAS reports conducted in the general area of the APE. Several were conducted for the FDOT (ACI 1994a, 1994b, 2001, 2002a, 2011; Botterill 2012; Janus Research 1993), for cell tower locations (ACI 2002b; Batategas 2002; Mohlman 2001) and private developers (ACI 2007; Almy 1989). None of these surveys located historic or prehistoric archaeological sites within the APE.

Based on the results of these cultural resource surveys, the distribution of archaeological resources in the project vicinity, and environmental conditions, the naturally occurring environmental setting of the project area would have had a high to moderate potential for the presence of archaeological sites. However, extensive urban development including the location of numerous utility lines within the archaeological APE have severely diminished the archaeological potential. As a result, the archaeological APE was considered to have a low potential for the presence of archaeological sites. Sites, if found, were expected to be shell middens or artifact scatters. The historic occupation of the area suggested there was a moderate to low potential for historic (19th and early 20th century) archaeological sites.


Historical/architectural background research indicated that two historic resources were previously recorded within the historical APE. Historic resource, the Church of the Redeemer (8SO06780) has not been evaluated by the SHPO. A segment of linear resources US 41/Tamiami Trail (8SO01853) runs through the project APE. While the segment of US 41 within the APE has not been evaluated by the SHPO, other segments outside the APE have been evaluated and determined ineligible. The segment within the APE does not appear eligible for listing in the NRHP. Bayfront Park, located on the south side of US 41, is a public park owned by the City of Sarasota and is located within the project APE (Figure 2-1).

Background research also indicated that there is a previously recorded historic district close to, but outside the project APE. The western limits of the NRHP-listed Downtown Sarasota Historic District (8SO06730) sits outside the northern limit of the project APE on Main Street. Thus, it appears that the proposed project will have no effect to any listed, determined eligible or considered to be or potentially eligible historic resources. In addition, background research of the USGS Sarasota, Fla. quadrangle map (USGS 1973) and information at the Sarasota County Property Appraisers Office did not reveal the potential for additional historic resources (50 years or older) within the APE.

RESOURCES WITHIN THE PROJECT APE.


3.0 Study Methods and Considerations

The FDHR’s Module Three, Guidelines for Use by Historic Professionals, indicates that the first stage of archaeological field survey is a reconnaissance of the project area to “ground truth,” or ascertain the validity of the predictive model (FDHR 2003). During this part of the survey, the researcher assesses whether the initial predictive model needs adjustment based on disturbance or conditions such as constructed features (i.e., parking lots, buildings, etc.), underground utilities, landscape alterations (i.e., ditches and swales, mined land, dredged and filled land, agricultural fields), or other constraints that may affect the archaeological potential. Additionally, these Guidelines indicate that non-systematic “judgmental” testing may be appropriate in urbanized environments where pavement, utilities, and constructed features make systematic testing unfeasible; in geographically restricted areas such as proposed pond sites; or within project areas that have limited high and moderate probability zones, but where a larger subsurface testing sample may be desired. While predictive models are useful in determining preliminary testing strategies in a broad context, it is understood that testing intervals may be altered due to conditions encountered by the field crew at the time of survey.

Archaeological field methodology consisted of visual reconnaissance. Testing was not able to be done since the area was mostly covered with concrete, asphalt, or had underground utilities. However, photo documentation did occur.

Historical field methodology consisted of a visual reconnaissance of the project APE to determine and verify the location of all buildings and other historic resources (i.e. bridges, roads, cemeteries) believed to have been built prior to 1967, and to establish if any such resources could be determined eligible for listing in the NRHP. This was followed by an in-depth study of any identified historic resources which appeared to be potentially NRHP-eligible. Photographs were taken and information needed for the completion of FMSF forms was collected. In addition to an architectural description, each historic resource was reviewed to assess style, historic context, condition, and NRHP eligibility. Pertinent records housed at the Sarasota County Property Appraisers’ Office were examined, and residents or other knowledgeable persons were interviewed to obtain information concerning site-specific building construction dates and/or possible association with individuals or events significant to local or regional history.

3.1 Laboratory Methods and Curation

Artifacts, if they had been found, would have been cleaned and sorted by artifact class and subjected to a limited technological analysis; however, no artifacts were found. All project records (including photos, field notes, and maps) will be curated at ACI in Sarasota in Project file P1220c.


3.2 Unexpected Discoveries

If human burial sites such as Indian mounds, lost historic and pre-colonial cemeteries, or other unmarked burials or associated artifacts were found, then the provisions and guidelines set forth in Chapter 872.05, FS (Offenses Concerning Dead Bodies and Graves) were to be followed. Although human remains had been found at several of the sites that had been destroyed, none were anticipated within the APE.


4.0 Survey Results

4.1 Archaeological Results

Archaeological field survey consisted of a visual reconnaissance. This confirmed that no testing was able to be conducted due to the highly disturbed nature of the APE. Photos 4-1 and 4-2 show some of the disturbance observed within and adjacent to the APE.

4.2 Historical/Architectural Results

As a result of the historic field survey and background research, two previously recorded historic resources were identified; these include one linear resource and one building (Figure 2-1). The building within the project APE is the Church of the Redeemer (8SO06780) and has not been evaluated by the SHPO. The building does not appear individually eligible for listing in the NRHP. Also, a segment of US 41/Tamiami Trail (8SO01853) runs through the project APE. While this segment has not been evaluated by the SHPO, other segments outside the APE have been evaluated and determined ineligible. The historic setting of the majority of the road has been compromised by recent development; therefore, the segment within the APE does not appear eligible for listing in the NRHP because it has lost much of its integrity through realignments and various road improvements including widening and resurfacing projects.

Bayfront Park is owned by the City of Sarasota. The section of Bayfront Park within the project APE is the result of manufactured land during a development boom in the 1960’s. Depending on the extent of the proposed improvements as part of the project undertaking, the park may be subject to ROW taking near the intersections within adjacent lands owned by the City of Sarasota (Figure 2-1). This portion of Bayfront Park contains several detention ponds, parking lots, and is not of recreational use.

In addition, the NRHP-listed Downtown Sarasota Historic District (8SO06730) is adjacent to the eastern limits of Main Street, but sits outside the project APE and is comprised of 51 contributing buildings and 10 non-contributing buildings. It was listed on April 9, 2009 under National Register Criteria A and C in the areas of Commerce, Community Planning & Development, and Architecture. Moreover, the work will not impact or alter any of the characteristics that qualify them for listing in the NRHP.

Updated FMSF forms were prepared for the previously recorded linear resource (8SO01853) and historic building (8SO06780) within the project APE. Copies of the forms are included in Appendix A, and photos and descriptions follow. No informant interviews were conducted during the field survey. A reasonable and good faith effort was made per the regulations laid out in 36 CFR § 800.4(b)(1) (Advisory Council on Historic Preservation n.d.) to survey all areas of the project APE.


Photo 4-3. Church of the Redeemer (8SO06780), looking northeast

8SO06780: The Church of the Redeemer, located at 222 S. Palm Avenue, was constructed in 1950 under the leadership of Father John Harvey Soper (Rector, 1942-1952). Additions of a parish hall and church school building were completed in 1954. The great bell tower with five bells was erected in 1967, directly to the south of the church. Renovations and major additions to the parish hall were completed in 1984. The two-story “Gillespie Hall” addition to the north, complete with sacristies, a book store, and classrooms was completed in 1999 under the leadership of Father Fredrick Robinson.

The 1950 Gothic Revival style church building is constructed from concrete block, which is evident as the exterior material. This building is topped by a gabled roof covered with slate shingles. A pointed parapet topped with a masonry cross emphasizes the dominant southeast façade. The main entrance is located on this façade, which features masonry steps leading to paired six-panel wood doors recessed under two pointed arches supported by Corinthian columns. Stained glass windows set in pilasters flank the doors. Three two- and three-light pointed, arched stained glass windows are found above the main entrance. These windows are inset in pointed masonry arches supported by Corinthian columns. Medallions accentuate the base of the columns along the half-round masonry window sill. A series of four- and six-light pointed, arched stained glass windows, punctuated by buttresses, is found along the northwest and southeast facades. Quoin surrounds are found on the windows and doors throughout this building.


The one-story masonry parish hall and school buildings to the north and east are topped by gabled roofs clad in composition shingles. Vents are found in the gable ends, and a cupola is located on the roof of the northeastern classroom building. The exterior fabric is exposed concrete block. Fenestration consists of paired and grouped four-light metal casements windows and four-over-four light metal single-hung-sash windows. An arcade runs along the southeast façade of the northwest parish hall.

Overall, the Church of the Redeemer is in excellent condition and is a good representation of the Gothic Revival architectural style as applied to a religious institution. In addition, the building maintains associations with the broad cultural history of the area. Ultimately, however, it is a common example of the Gothic Revival style, and the additions to the main church building slightly detract from the architectural integrity of the resource. Additionally, research has not revealed associations with persons or events significant in national history. Therefore, the Church of the Redeemer does not appear eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, either individually or as part of a historic district.

Photo 4-4. US 41/Tamiami Trail (8SO01853), looking northwest.

8SO01853: US 41 (Tamiami Trail) within the project area is located in Section 19 of Township 36 South, Range 18 East and Section 24 of Township 36 South, Range 17 East (USGS 1973); the segment within the APE is approximately 1,100 ft long. This segment of US 41 is located along the Sarasota Bayfront in downtown Sarasota and intersects Gulfstream Avenue before continuing north as N Tamiami Trail. The viewshed is dominated by modern commercial and residential development.


In 1915, a group of businessmen met to discuss the feasibility of a cross-state highway from Tampa to Miami by way of Sarasota. A portion of this route, which stretched from the Hillsborough County line to Sarasota, was constructed as early as 1911 by Manatee County with the passage of a bond issue. By the 1920s, the Sarasota portion of the Tamiami Trail from Bradenton followed the path of Banana Avenue, later renamed Broadway, before joining Main Street in Sarasota. The Trail then extended east along Main Street through downtown Sarasota to Washington Boulevard (now US 301), where it once again turned south toward Venice. This road was eventually designated US 41, or the Tamiami Trail, but was not fully completed from Tampa to Miami until April 1928 (Scupholm 1997:20-22). The section of highway within the project APE has lost much of its integrity through realignments and various road improvements including widening and resurfacing projects.

US 41 within the project APE was developed as part of a dredging and in-fill campaign that allowed the city of Sarasota to expand the Bayfront area farther west. As a result, US 41 (SR 45) was rerouted to hug the Sarasota Bay (Lahurd 2014). In conjunction with the rerouting project, manufactured land was created to expand the mainland to make way for the new highway along the Bayfront. US 41 (SR 45) is of common design for the state, and while important to the development of Sarasota County, the approximately 1,100 ft segment of US 41 (SR 45) within the APE has undergone substantial alterations in the form of realignments and road improvements. Moreover, the historic setting of the majority of the road has been compromised by recent development. As a result, the segment of US 41 within the project APE no longer retains integrity of location, design, setting, and workmanship. Therefore, this segment of US 41 does not appear eligible for listing in the NRHP.

4.3 Conclusions

Archaeological: As a result of the visual reconnaissance, no evidence of any historic or prehistoric archaeological sites, including the no longer extant 8SO00099, was observed. This was expected given the highly disturbed nature of the APE.

Historic Structures: Based on the results of field survey and the scope of the undertaking, it appears that the proposed construction of a roundabout at US 41 and Ringling Boulevard will have no effect on any listed, determined eligible, or potentially eligible historic resources. In addition, the proposed construction of a roundabout at US 41 and Main Street will not result in effects outside the immediate footprint of construction and it does not appear that it will have any impact any adjacent historic resources. The NRHP-listed Downtown Sarasota Historic District (8SO06730) is in close proximity to, but outside the APE of proposed roundabout at US 41 and Main Street. It appears that the proposed work will not alter the character-defining features of the district that constitute its NRHP-eligibility.

CONTINUATION SHEET Narrative Description

US 41 (Tamiami Trail) within the project area is located in Section 19 of Township 36 South, Range 18 East (United States Geological Survey [USGS] Sarasota); the segment within the Area of Potential Effect (APE) is approximately 1300 feet long. This segment of US 41 is located along the Sarasota Bayfront in downtown Sarasota and intersects Main Street and Ringling Boulevard before continuing southeast along Sarasota Bay. The viewshed is dominated by modern commercial and residential development. In 1915, a group of businessmen met to discuss the feasibility of a cross-state highway from Tampa to Miami by way of Sarasota. A portion of this route, which stretched from the Hillsborough County line to Sarasota, was constructed as early as 1911 by Manatee County with the passage of a bond issue. By the 1920s, the Sarasota portion of the Tamiami Trail from Bradenton followed the path of Banana Avenue, later renamed Broadway, before joining Main Street in Sarasota. The Trail then extended east along Main Street through downtown Sarasota to Washington Boulevard (now US 301), where it once again turned south toward Venice. This road was eventually designated US 41, or the Tamiami Trail, but was not fully completed from Tampa to Miami until April 1928 (Scupholm 1997:20-22). The section of highway within the project APE has lost much of its integrity through realignments and various road improvements including widening and resurfacing projects. Explanation of Evaluation US 41 within the project APE is of common design and construction for the state, and while important to the development of Sarasota County, the approximately 1300 ft segment of US 41 within the APE has undergone substantial alterations in the form of realignments and road improvements. Moreover, the historic setting of the majority of the road has been compromised by recent development. As a result, the segment of US 41 within the project APE no longer retains integrity of location, design, setting, and workmanship Therefore, this segment of US 41 is not considered eligible for listing in the NRHP.

CONTINUATION SHEET Narrative Description

The Church of the Redeemer, located at 222 S. Palm Avenue (8SO06780), was constructed in 1950 under the leadership of Father John Harvey Soper (Rector, 1942-1952). Additions of a parish hall and church school building were completed in 1954. The great bell tower with five bells was erected in 1967, directly to the south of the church. Renovations and major additions to the parish hall were completed in 1984. The two-story “Gillespie Hall” addition to the north, complete with sacristies, a book store, and classrooms was completed in 1999 under the leadership of Father Fredrick Robinson. The 1950 Gothic Revival style church building is constructed from concrete block, which is evident as the exterior material. This building is topped by a gabled roof covered with slate shingles. A pointed parapet topped with a masonry cross emphasizes the dominant southeast façade. The main entrance is located on this façade, which features masonry steps leading to paired six-panel wood doors recessed under two pointed arches supported by Corinthian columns. Stained glass windows set in pilasters flank the doors. Three two- and three-light pointed, arched stained glass windows are found above the main entrance. These windows are inset in pointed masonry arches supported by Corinthian columns. Medallions accentuate the base of the columns along the half-round masonry window sill. A series of four- and six-light pointed, arched stained glass windows, punctuated by buttresses, is found along the northwest and southeast facades. Quoin surrounds are found on the windows and doors throughout this building. The one-story masonry parish hall and school buildings to the north and east are topped by gabled roofs clad in composition shingles. Vents are found in the gable ends, and a cupola is located on the roof of the northeastern classroom building. The exterior fabric is exposed concrete block. Fenestration consists of paired and grouped four-light metal casements windows and four-over-four light metal single-hung-sash windows. An arcade runs along the southeast façade of the northwest parish hall. Explanation of Evaluation

Overall, the Church of the Redeemer is in excellent condition and is a good representation of the Gothic Revival architectural style as applied to a religious institution. In addition, the building maintains associations with the broad cultural history of the area. Ultimately, however, it is a common example of the Gothic Revival style, and the additions to the main church building slightly detract from the architectural integrity of the resource. Additionally, research has not revealed associations with persons or events significant in national history. Therefore, the Church of the Redeemer is not considered eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, either individually or as part of a historic district.
