Every ICRIS record inside Weiser city limits, laid out street by street. Tap or click a property for its record. Switch views to see where survey and nomination work would land and how far the parcel match has come.

Finding

Each row is a street; each white box is a hundred block. East of State Street sits left of the dark rule, west sits right. Odd numbers run along the top, even along the bottom. A diagram of street order, not a scaled map.

Your note, point by point

From your noteWhat the atlas foundActionStatus
Pulled by zip 83672, then culled to city limits

274 ICRIS records fall inside town. 19 of them dropped out in the cull, nearly all one downtown batch (IHSI 87-16074 to 16090), with the Depot, Star Theatre and Kurtz-Van Sicklin House among them.

Add the 19 back before sign-off.

Open
Assessor linked each address to a parcel

217 records match one parcel cleanly. 17 have a parcel but need a decision. 22 have none.

Work the checklist below.

84% of list
Addresses with no parcel match

11 came back from the assessor as invalid addresses, plus 11 more with no parcel assigned.

Footprint comparison, as you have been doing.

Open
Resources no longer extant

ICRIS flags only two. One, the Presbyterian Church at 151 W Main, is marked non-extant in ICRIS while the city list notes it as extant.

Give every record a field for extant, non-extant or unverified, and report losses back to SHPO.

Open
Outlines straddling lot lines

435 W Main carries two parcels, one shared with 439 W 3rd. Three more parcel numbers serve two addresses: 738 and 744 E Main, 306 and 308 W Liberty, 136-138 and 140 W Court.

Pick a primary parcel for the map; keep the second in a notes field.

Open
List runs by street number, not street

The atlas and the checklist below run street by street, east to west, block by block.

Ask Niki to sort the final sheet the same way.

Solved here
Sign-off, then Niki backloads ICRIS data

33 parcel numbers in the reworked sheet carry stray spaces, which break a map join. One has 13 characters instead of 14.

Clean the parcel numbers. Request year built, survey year and survey project as separate number fields.

Next
Color-code every parcel for a macro view

The views above preview it with the data on hand. Year built and survey date views switch on once the backload arrives.

Join the final list to the assessor's parcel layer by parcel number.

Phase 2

Sign-off checklist

Everything still open, in street order so the work moves block by block instead of across town. Select a row to find it on the atlas.

Questions this inventory should answer

QuestionWhat we haveWhat is missingToday

The questions after these

Once the parcel atlas answers the first five, the commission's questions turn from inventory to action.

Standard

Which test of age applies?

A rolling 50-year line or a defined period of significance changes which buildings count. The East End survey reports both.

Boundaries

Where would a district line fall?

Does the Wattlington Addition district grow, does a downtown district form, or do resources stand alone?

Protection

What tools fit Weiser?

Local designation, demolition review, design guidelines or incentives, and which properties each would reach.

People

Who owns the eligible buildings?

Owner outreach decides whether a nomination moves. Which owners are ready, and which need a conversation first?

Funding

How is the next phase paid for?

Grant cycles through the State Historic Preservation Office, city or county support, and how the work divides into fundable phases.

Upkeep

Who keeps the atlas current?

A living record needs an owner. Who records demolitions, new surveys and ICRIS updates, and how often?

From list to atlas

Phase 1 · Now

Finish the reconciled list

Restore the 19 downtown records, settle 17 parcel conflicts and assign parcels to the last 22 addresses.

Phase 2

Build the parcel atlas

Join the final list to the assessor's parcel layer with year built for every lot. Survey gaps, eligible clusters and construction dates then map lot by lot.

Phase 3

Survey the gaps

Evaluate the 118 unevaluated resources, starting with Main Street and downtown, and record buildings 50 years or older missing from ICRIS.

Phase 4

Nominate and protect

Rank the 69 eligible, unlisted resources by significance and risk into an individual and district nomination plan.

Phase 2 in practice: every lot drawn, a construction timeline, and views for contribution, change since 2003, style and windows.
