Nomination for Sidney Walnut Avenue Historic District

The case file that argued this property on to the National Register: 4,697 words across 64 pages, filed in 1983. Read by 4 independent recognisers, of which at least 3 had to agree before a line was published.

Source document Held by the National Archives in Record Group 79 as reference 83004338, where it exists only as a scan with no text layer. The words below were read off that scan by 4 independent recognisers at two resolutions. Only lines that at least 3 of them returned identically appear below; where they disagreed, the line is withheld rather than guessed, so some of the form's furniture is missing. Spelling is never corrected, so a stray character that all the readers agreed on is the recogniser's and the typewriter's.. Nothing is summarised, corrected or written by this site.

Introduction

Less than nine centuries since, the historic period of the Western Continent - the new world - was ushered in. Let us pause a moment and recall the achievements of the actors in the great drama of discover}', settlement, colonization, and nationality.
