Belk, Planner II/Preservation ,~~.vfi~ii <br />Date: February 27, 1998 <br />Subject: LOCAL LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT FOR MOOREFIELDS, <br />LHD-1-98, NR# 0185 <br />Copies: Orange County Historic Preservation Commission <br />On February 25, 1998, the Orange County Historic Preservation accepted the Planning <br />Department's recommendation to pursue local historic landmazk designation for Moorefields, a <br />National Register property within the County's jurisdictional azea. In lieu of a survey and reseazch <br />report, I have enclosed the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form. I have also <br />enclosed current photographs of the house and a vicinity map showing the location of Moorefields. <br />The description of Moorefields contained in the Registration Form, dated January 1972, is an <br />accurate depiction of the site today; however, a few minor changes have been made to the house <br />since the National Register nomination. An entrance door on the east facade of the east wing was <br />removed, and two six-over-nine windows were added. The chimney at the junction of the main <br />block and east wing was replaced. Moorefields is well-maintained by the current owners, under the <br />supervisor of a site manager. The owners have consented to the HPC's proposal to pursue <br />landmark designation. <br />I look forwazd to receiving your comments on this site as a proposed local historic landmazk. <br />Please feel free to call me at 732-8181, extension 2594. <br />/db <br />~% i 1 <br />attachments <br />
