Visiting

A district listing covers the streets, not the doors. Walk it freely; the buildings inside are as private as they ever were.
Limited data for this unit

The National Park Service withholds the location of this landmark to protect it, so this page shows no address, map or nearby places.

Sources

Name, location, type and dates come from the National Register office's spreadsheet of listed properties, because the Park Service's spatial data does not carry this listing. The spreadsheet marks its address as restricted, so no coordinates are shown from any source. Construction date, architect, style, photograph and encyclopedia link come from Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons, matched on reference number 13000286. Nothing here is transcribed by hand. The nomination form and photographs ↗ at NPGallery are the original nomination as filed with the National Park Service, and the form is often the best description of the place.
