one of 35 National Register listings in Knox County · listed in 2009 · category: Building.
National Register reference number.09000171- the number the National Park Service assigned this property when it was listed, and the key its nomination file is catalogued under at the National Archives.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 580 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Loveridge, Richard and Ann, House between 1837 and
1974: 512 Animalia, 46 Fungi, 21 Plantae, 1 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. Hall, A. P. Morgan, Andriessen, H. 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
6 workings within 5 miles of Loveridge, Richard and Ann, House: 4 producers, 2 past producers.
4 still produce. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction. Distance is straight-line from the
map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring
settlement's page as well.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The National Weather Service names
Mount Vernon, the town this property stands in, in 2 storm reports between 1995 and 1995: 1 thunderstorm wind, 1 hail.
The reports record 1 injury. 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.
A downburst with winds as high as 90 mph downed hundreds of trees, some on structures and vehicles. Signs were blown down and some windows were broken and minor roof damage occurred to several buildings. A dog was electrocuted when a live power line fell onto the dogbox. A man was injured by a falling tree limb and another man, sleeping in his bedroom, escaped injury when a large limb crashed through his ceiling missing him by inches. Three state highways where closed until storm debris could be removed, one for over 24 hours.
Large hail fell. A 41-year-old man was struck by lightning while working inside his new home which was under construction. The house appears to have been struck first and the charge passed through the man causing minor burns.

5,080 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.
