Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 476 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Fox Hollow between 1835 and
1975: 319 Animalia, 88 Plantae, 60 Fungi, 4 Protozoa, 4 Chromista, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown.

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.

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.
