We have reviewed the information in the <br />reports and offer the following comments in accordance with <br />N.C.G.S. 160A-400.6. <br />All four properties are individually listed in the National <br />Register of Historic Places; and the National Register <br />nominations, which document the significance and integrity of <br />each property, serve as the designation reports. <br />We concur that the changes that have occurred since the <br />nominations were prepared have not been major and that each <br />property substantially retains integrity (intactness). All four <br />properties are excellent candidates for landmark designation and <br />are most worthy of the recognition and protection designation <br />will bring. <br />Two of the nominations are more that twenty years old, and while <br />they form good bases for designation reports, they do not contain <br />adequate information to constitute full, strong reports. Many <br />older nominations are sketchy in this respect and must be <br />supplemented for local designation purposes.
