collected within 10 miles of Long--Mueller House between 1836 and
1975: 399 Animalia, 88 Plantae, 56 Fungi, 4 Protozoa, 4 Chromista, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A JOHN, A JOHN AND W E DUELLMAN, A. E. Foeerste 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
15 workings within 5 miles of Long--Mueller House: 8 past producers, 7 producers.
7 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.

Kettering, the town this property stands in, in 27 storm reports between 1995 and 2023: 15 thunderstorm wind, 9 hail, 1 lightning, 1 flood.
The reports record 9 injuries. 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.
Lightning struck a tree near a home where an outdoor party was occurring. Nine people standing near the tree suffered minor injuries including burned feet. One person was held overnight at the local hospital for observation, but everyone else affected was treated and released the same evening.
Many large limbs were reported down. Two roofs were blown off two apartment buildings and into a neighboring yard. Numerous trees and power lines were down throughout eastern Kettering. Kantner Park had a shelter damaged and picnic tables were tossed around. These occurrences were due to damaging thunderstorm winds.

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.
