Title
A name given to the resource
City Planning Commission
Description
An account of the resource
Photographs in this collection were produced for the 1928 City Planning Commission, which drew upon the 1907 Remodeling Roanoke: Report to the Committee on Civic Improvement by John Nolen, Landscape Architect from Cambridge, Massachusetts. The 1907 published plan saw little action from the city and was renewed in 1928. This project spanned the years 1927 through 1932. The photographs date from this time period and show areas of Roanoke that, in the opinion of the Commission, needed improvement or were good examples for which the city should continue to strive. Though 129 4"x6" prints are included in the collection, only 69 are included in the digital collection, as there were many duplicates. A number of the photographs are included in John Nolen's Comprehensive Plan, City of Roanoke, 1928.
