two. Large construction projects, such as an automobile dealership and a Walmart, are sited on land that was once homes and businesses owned by Dobyville's families. Few buildings remain from the neighborhood's past, with demolition and new construction depleting the neighborhood. Historic District Designation The National Trust for Historic Preservation included much of Dobyville in the Hyde Park Historic District when it landmarked the area in 1985. Hyde Park was designated locally three years after the national recognition, but the area once occupied by Dobyville has been specifically excluded from the local designation. Such an exclusion means that historic properties in what was Dobyville are not protected.
