Ode <br />~~. ~ f <br />Mr. Belk <br />March 27, 1998 <br />Page 2 <br />recent nominations usually need some updating and expanding. We <br />have the following suggestions: <br />All four reports: <br />It is very important to describe and justify the boundary of <br />a proposed landmark. Each report needs to be strengthened <br />in this regard. To each report, add a property map with the <br />exact boundary of the proposed landmark clearly marked. <br />Cite the tax map, block, and lot numbers. Add a statement <br />of the exact acreage. If the boundary is different from the <br />National Register nomination, explain and justify the <br />difference. <br />Many numbered highways and roads have been given proper <br />names since early National Register nominations were <br />written. Please give the property's current address in <br />addition to that given on the nomination. <br />Give the name and mailing address of the current owner. <br />Chatwood• <br />The historical name of this property is Fawcett Mill and <br />House, and it is actually listed in the National Register as <br />a district because of the variety of the resources and the <br />fact that the mill tract and the house tract comprised two <br />separate parcels, each having a different owner, at the time <br />of the nomination in 1988. It is unclear to us whether both <br />tracts are intended to be included in the proposed landmark. <br />If they are still under different ownership, they should be <br />designated as two separate landmarks. If the two tracts <br />have now been consolidated under one owner, a single <br />landmark is appropriate. If only the house tract, and not <br />the mill tract, is proposed for designation, this should be <br />stated in the cover memo.. Whatever the case, the memo <br />should address and clarify the matter. <br />Although the National Register nomination does not include <br />archaeological resources, they may very well be present. <br />The mill and surroundings would be of greater concern, but <br />we are not sure this area is included in the proposed <br />designation. In any case, mention should be made of the <br />potential for archaeological resources. <br />State the current use. <br />Include current photographs of all the buildings within the <br />proposed landmark boundaries. <br />
