About this file
This is a State Historic Preservation Office (PA SHPO) clearance letter from the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office to the City of Scranton Department of Housing and Urban Development regarding the demolition of 915 Euclid Avenue in Scranton, Lackawanna County. The letter confirms completion of the environmental review process for Project #2025PR05783.001 and provides clearance for the proposed demolition project. The review was conducted in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and Pennsylvania state historic preservation requirements, including the Environmental Rights Amendment and the Pennsylvania History Code. The project involves demolition of the structure at 915 Euclid Avenue with sealed bids due by 10:00 am on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, to be opened in City Council Chambers at City Hall. Prospective bidders must register on the City's e-Procurement Portal at https://secure.procurenow.com/portal/scrantonpa to access the Invitation to Bid and submit proposals.
The PA SHPO determination concludes that no above-ground historic properties listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register are present in the project area of potential effect, therefore no above-ground historic resources will be affected by the demolition. Regarding archaeological resources, the office determined a high probability that prehistoric and/or historic archaeological resources exist in the project area but concluded the proposed project will have no effect on such resources, provided that excavation is limited to removal of the foundation and clean off-site fill is used. The clearance letter requires reinitialization of consultation with PA SHPO should project plans change or new historic property concerns arise. Questions regarding above-ground resources should be directed to Sara-Ladd Manley at samanley@pa.gov, with the same contact available for archaeological resource inquiries.
