In the essay, it will be possible to help explain how the <br />architectural evolution of the county was so vernacular, mostly log, versus the more stylish <br />architecture seen in Town. Staff will prepare a powerpoint or mockup of a section to show <br />potential funding sources.

All agreed in general terms, that our <br />essay will combine the Town and County, then the catalog will treat each township <br />separately and the Town will have its own catalog section. W e should have an <br />introductory overview for each township and for the Town, and maps showing each area <br />being discussed in that catalog section. <br /> <br />b.

Staff gave a presentation showing about 90 structures based on
