Correspondence

edit

Some error corrections / investigation issues identified further below have been submitted to the NRHP for correction. The ones covered so far mostly involve apparent typos during NRHP's NRIS data system entry, and are denoted by notes like "submitted in batch01:13-14, reported by NRHP_RT to be fixing in NRIS as of 3/4/2009", below. There has not yet been a comprehensive submission of identified errors for correction and/or investigation to Pennsylvania staff, separately, yet. Some individual items have been addressed, however, as follows. --doncram (talk) 20:58, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About one bridge

edit

(posted by Ruhrfisch at wt:NRHP, copied to here)

 

Bridge between East Manchester and Newberry Townships in York County, Pennsylvania was part of the Multiple Property Submission "Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Owned Highway Bridges" listed on the NRHP back in 1988. A clerical error was made at the time though, and it has been listed as pending in the NRHP database since. I noticed it was listed in the Pennsylvania ARCH system online and at the suggestion of Nyttend wrote the NRHP asking about it. Just got an email today saying that the pending listing was an error and they would be updating the database. I added the image on Commons and added it to List of bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania, but did not add it to the York County list.

PS They said their internal database shows it is as listed, but the public database will not show this until its next update. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 22:04, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect information for "Administration Building"

edit

(copied from Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Washington County, Pennsylvania) The NPS has recorded an incorrect location for "Administration Building, Washington and Jefferson College", which is now known as McMillan Hall. The NPS Digital Library lists the location of the building as "PENNSYLVANIA -- Washington County -- Canonsburg." Also, NPS database list the building's coordinates as 40°15′39″N 80°11′11″W / 40.26083°N 80.18639°W / 40.26083; -80.18639, which is in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. (Curiously, this IS the location of McMillan's log college). However, the building is actually in Washington, Pennsylvania at roughly 40°10′13.2″N 80°14′27.9″W / 40.170333°N 80.241083°W / 40.170333; -80.241083. The sources in McMillan Hall article show that the NPS information is incorrect. --GrapedApe (talk) 02:59, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I just heard back from a Preservation Specialist at the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission, and they will investigate these errors and try to correct them. Three cheers for crowd sourcing!--GrapedApe (talk) 05:15, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(end copied section) Thanks, GrapedApe! --doncram (talk) 20:58, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Property names

edit

with misspelling/minor edit fixes needed in two. For No. 5, fix typo to spell as "Lock" rather than "Locka". For No. 8, spell as "No. 8" rather than "No.8". This probably is reflected in NRHP.COM's listings. doncram (talk) 16:53, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Town location issue

edit
  • Fox Chase Farm, in Pennsylvania, which is listed in National Register as "Stanley", a former name, is listed at 8500 Pine Road, Rocklege. User:BillFlis notes that it is not in Rocklege or Rockledge. Is Rockledge, Pennsylvania a town? Anyhow this is in Philadelphia, interestingly a working farm in the city (and the only one).
Not sure if there is an error or not. doncram (talk) 20:48, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
batch04:21: Believe should be relisted in Crafton, PA
batch04:22-23: Believe these should be relisted in Edgewood and Upper St. Clair Township, respectively.

Address issues

39°56′08″N 75°16′24″W / 39.935622°N 75.273321°W / 39.935622; -75.273321. In Google maps search for "Twentieth Century Club, Lansdowne, PA", which is, as described in the nomination, across the street from the library. The 2 sets of coordinate are about 5 miles apart.

Coordinates issues

edit

NOTE: For the most part, it is not helpful to report coordinates issues here. If you have a correction for coordinates to an NRHP site, please just go ahead and make those corrections in its article and in the corresponding county/town NRHP list-article. --doncram (talk) 21:03, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
