I have also attached current photographs of the house and a <br />vicinity map showing the location of Rigsbee's Rock House. <br />The description of Rigsbee's Rock House contained in the Registration Form, dated <br />September 1988, remains true for the site today. No alterations have been made to the <br />structure since the National Register nomination was completed. Rigsbee's Rock House is <br />well-maintained by the current owners, who have meticulously repaired several areas of <br />damage to the white flint rubble rock wall that surrounds the property on three sides. The <br />owners have consented to the HPC's proposal to pursue landmazk designation. <br />I look forwazd to receiving your comments on this site as a proposed local historic <br />landmazk. Please feel free to call me at 732-8181, extension 2594. <br />/db <br />attachments <br />~J ~ l_l <br />
