This nomination amends the period of significance of the existing Wells Historic District, which is currently listed as 1871-1957. Because the inventory of the Wells Area was conducted in 2007, a cut-off date of 1957 was used to determine whether buildings were historic. However, the inventory of the Liberty Area was conducted in 2011 and a cut-off date of 1961 was used accordingly. Buildings in the Liberty Area constructed during and prior to 1961 contribute to the historic significance of the district and this nomination will thus include the years between 1957 and 1961 in the period of significance.
