This report documents an intensive architectural/historical survey of all resources located within an area that corresponds to the corporate boundaries of the city of Port Washington as of January 1, 1998. This represents a study area whose boundaries were set by the City of Port Washington in conjunction with the staff of the State of Wisconsin's Division of Historic Preservation prior to the beginning of this study. Subsequently, a reconnaissance survey of this area was undertaken by the principal investigator as the first part of the intensive architectural/historical survey, after which an intensive research effort designed to ascertain the historic and architectural significance of the resources identified by the reconnaissance survey was undertaken by the principal investigator. The results of this research is summarized in this intensive survey report and they are also embodied in individual survey cards for all the resources studied, which were prepared in both printed and electronic forms to standards set by the State Division of Historic Preservation. In addition, individual files containing what is known about each resource identified as being potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places have been deposited with the City of Port Washington. The purpose of this intensive survey project was two-fold; to identify all the resources within the study area that are potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and to provide the City of Port Washington and other city, state, and national agencies with a comprehensive data base that covers all the historic resources within the study area. The intensive survey ultimately researched 445 individual resources. Of these, twenty-one individual buildings and building complexes, four historic residential districts containing a total of sixty-one individual buildings, and a single forty-five building downtown commercial historic district were identified as having potential for listing in the National Register.
