SHAW, P.E., P.S. COUNTY ENGINEER August 13, 2002 Mr. Stephen C. Gordon Ohio Historic Preservation Office 567 East Hudson Street Columbus, Ohio 43211 RE: Inter County Highway 360 Thankyou for your noticeof the Advisory Board meeting slated for September 6, 2002 to consider comments on the above referenced highway to the National Register of Historic Places. on that date. Therefore, I'd like to comment by means of this letter. I am somewhat familiar with the effort to get this stretch of brick road listed. Although I'm not familiar with the name "Inter County Highway 360", I assume it is our current County Road #20, lles Road, in Falls Township. A short section of this road was recently annexed into the City of Logan, with a portion re-located, bricks removed, and improved with asphalt. preserving our heritage.
And I certainly hope that all landowners who front this section of the highway also support the effort. This is very important as the maintenance of this road, both current and future, will definitely be influenced by the remaining brick surface. Many of our brick highways and streets have been overlaid with asphalt to not only provide a smooth riding surface,but also to aid in its maintenance, particularly plowing snow in the winter time. The uneven bricks are pretty hard on a snowplow and thus snow removal may not be as good as on an asphalt highway. I believe current residents are aware of this as well as the "bumpy" ride. FAX ENGINEER (740) 385-0542 Both current and future residents must be willing to accept this lesser snow and Dear Mr.
Gordon, Unfortunately, due to a previously scheduled commitment, I will be out of state I certainly support the efforts of those involved and realize the importance of ice control, uneven roadway, and slower speed. We will do all we can to maintain the integrity of the brick surface during my tenure as County Engineer including trying to replace a small bridge on this stretch of highway in a way that will "blend in" with the brick surface and not stick out like a sore Our resources in our small rural county are slim to none, however, and some those who have worked long and hard to get this section of highway on the National Register of Historic Places. I respectfully request your serious consideration to their request. Please feel free to call me if you should have any questions whatsoever. William R. Shaw, P.E., P.S. Hocking County Engineer thumb.
Sincerely, WRS:cm things, such as replacing sections of the brick surface to even up the pavement, are out of the question. As long as all property owners are in agreement, I certainly support the efforts of Ohio Historic Preservation Office 567 East Hudson Street Columbus, Ohio 43211-1030 614/ 298-2000 Fax: 614/ 298-2037 Visit us at www.ohiohistory.org/resource/histpres/l October 31, 2002 SINCE 1885 Ms. Carol Shull, Chief of Registration National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Enclosed please find one (1) new National Register nomination.
