evidence. Museums hold 4,530 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Blossom, Elzabeth B. and Dudley S., Estate Service Compound between 1850 and
1975: 4,095 Animalia, 227 Fungi, 128 Plantae, 73 Protozoa, 5 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista, 1 incertae sedis. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. D. Huryn, A. Hall, A. Newhall and others. Each is a
physical object with a catalogue
number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was
collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists
1 working within 5 miles of Blossom, Elzabeth B. and Dudley S., Estate Service Compound: 1 unknown.
None of them still produces. What was taken out: Tungsten. Distance is straight-line from the
map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring
settlement's page as well.

evidence. The National Weather Service names
Lyndhurst, the town this property stands in, in 15 storm reports between 1998 and 2025: 10 thunderstorm wind, 3 hail, 1 lightning, 1 tornado.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
An EF1 tornado touched just northwest of the Ursuline College campus around 3:35 am. The tornado continued south southeast across a part of the campus, crossed Fairmount Boulevard and finally lifted as it moved across a country club. Substantial damage was done to a gymnasium on the campus. The tornado caused a wall to collapse and tore off a part of the roof. Other buildings nearby sustained lesser amounts of roof damage. Many trees were also toppled or snapped along the damage path which was up to 200 yards in width and around a mile and a third in length. There was also evidence of straight line wind damage in the area.

9,960 words on record
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.
