evidence. The
federal wildfire occurrence database
lists 39 fires within 5 miles of David Stormont House

Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 1,059 specimens
collected within 10 miles of David Stormont House between 1908 and 1975: 767 Animalia, 289 Plantae, 3 Unrecorded.
12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. H. Wright, Adams, W., Adams, W. (William), Trautman, M. B. (Milton Bernard) et al. and others. Each is a
physical object with a catalogue

collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.

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.
