Collected by A C Whitney, A S BRADSHAW, A. P. Morgan and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record.

  Named in 1890

When this property was proposed for the National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is, and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain. It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s typewriter's.

The whole case file for this property - 5,331 words, 46 pages, reproduced complete.

Quoted from the National Register nomination for reference 02000701, 46 pages, held by the National Archives in Record Group 79. See the catalogue record.

Other National Register properties close enough to walk or drive between, ordered by distance from this one. Both positions come from the same geocoding pass that matched these properties to their map sheets.
