Historic Resource Evaluation
James Papp, PhD, Historian and Architectural Historian
Summary Conclusion:Not eligible for historic
resource listing; should be removed from the
Contributing List of Historic Resources

streamlined and open nature of its original Colonial
Revival architecture or its consistency with other examples
of the subtype in the district
•does not exhibit a high level of historic integrity
•has not maintained enough of its historic character or
appearance to be recognizable as a historic resource and
to convey the reason for its significance
