Summary
The amendment changes the name of the 1980 Drake Court Apartments and Dartmore Apartments Historic District to the Drake Court Historic District. The amendment extends the historic district's boundaries to include the Ainsworth, Ansonia, and Beverly Apartments located to the east of the Dartmore Apartments. The apartments were built between 1922 and 1929, and were historically and stylistically connected to the Drake and Dartmore Apartments of 1916-1921. The amendment also decreased the district's boundaries to exclude Liberty Elementary school, which was built to the north of the apartments on open land historically associated with the complex.
