Grand Forks County Fairgrounds WPA Structures
Grand Forks County Fairgrounds WPA Structures

Grand Forks County Fairgrounds WPA Structures is a collection of five structures within the Grand Forks County Fairgrounds in Grand Forks, North Dakota, that were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.The structures are the fairgrounds entrance gate, ticket kiosk, administration building, and cairns, all built from stone, as well as the fairgrounds grandstand. They are located on the grounds of the Grand Forks State Fair Grounds and are associated with the River Cities Speedway. "The five remaining structures have been recognized as historically significant, examples of the importance of county and state fairs to local culture and social history."The structures were built between 1936 and 1939 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt attended the 1937 dedication ceremony for the Grand Forks County Fairgrounds grandstand, which was designed by Grand Forks architect Theodore B. Wells and was considered to be innovative in its design.Steve C. Martens, an architect and North Dakota State University professor, wrote the NRHP nomination. He commented extensively at a public hearing describing the importance of the structures. According to Martens, the project was the largest WPA project in the state.In 2009 the listed structures included three contributing buildings, one contributing structure, and one contributing object. The nominated listing covers an area of 51 acres (21 ha). The listing is described as including Art Deco and WPA Rustic Fieldstone architecture.

Grand Forks Riverside Neighborhood Historic District
Grand Forks Riverside Neighborhood Historic District

The Grand Forks Riverside Neighborhood Historic District is a 112-acre (45 ha) historic district in Grand Forks, North Dakota that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. According to The Herald, citing Peg O'Leary, coordinator of the Grand Forks Historic Preservation Commission: The Riverside area is significant for its "mechanics' cottages," working-class homes with simple yet distinctive designs built in the '20s and '30s, O'Leary said, and for some homes of early residents dating back as far as the 1880s. About 70 percent of private homes in the Riverside area - which stretches from near Seward Avenue north through Riverside Park and from North Third Street east to the Red River - are listed as "contributing elements" in the historic registry, as are the Riverside Pool and the park itself, O'Leary said. Many homes in that area were lost during the 1997 flood, O'Leary said, but the remaining homes were sufficient to win the neighborhood the coveted federal status. The designation also comes with some requirements if the city uses federal money in the neighborhood, she said." It is the third historic district designated in Grand Forks (the others are the Downtown Grand Forks Historic District and the Grand Forks Near Southside Historic District).The district includes Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals and Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements architecture.When listed, the district included 116 contributing buildings, two contributing structures, and one contributing site. Also included are 54 non-contributing buildings.
