The district includes 742 contributing single-family homes and two properties that were previously listed individually: the Nelson Wheeler Whipple House (564 West 400 North, listed 1979) and the Thomas and Mary Hepworth House (725 West 200 North). However, this district does not have a local historic district designation, so there are no demolition protections. Exterior changes and demolitions in the district do not require preservation review. No other West Side neighborhoods currently have National Register district designations, and none have local historic district designations.
