Document and database issues[edit]

Property names[edit]

The NRIS database does not include "house", though two different nomination forms do.[1][2]

I thought maybe "Sand Hills Historic District" was a misspelling for Sands Hill Historic District aka Elizabethtown Historic District, listed 1997: when search in Elkman infobox generator based on NRIS, searching for "Sand Hills Historic District" yields nothing. However when search for "Elizabethtown Historic District" one gets message "National Register property not found! Found it by another name" and then an infobox for "Sands Hill Historic District" is provided. --Doncram (talk) 05:13, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, the district is named with "Sands Hill" not "Sand Hills" in National Register of Historic Places listings in Richmond County, Georgia. --Doncram (talk) 05:18, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think the form says "Sand Hills" whereas the photos say "Sands Hill". Google searches show "Sand Hills", so that is probably right. Google Maps also says "Sand Hills". Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 06:02, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks User:Bubba73! I see the usage throughout the NRHP document is "Sand Hills", too, and I agree it should be "Sand Hills Historic District". I am moving the article. --Doncram (talk) 06:37, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • NRIS2013a mistakenly uses name "Thomas V. Butts House" for what is the "Thomas U. Butts House", home of Thomas Usher Butts. Apparent NRIS data entry error. --Doncram (talk) 14:26, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Demolished but still listed[edit]

  • Gilmer County Courthouse, listed September 18, 1980, demolished in 2008. Courthouse Sq., Ellijay. Demolished in 2008. Still listed on the National Register in 2009. doncram (talk) 09:50, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Savannah Pharmacy and Fonvielle Office Building, Savannah, Chatham County, refnum 13000023, was demolished ca. July 2014; see July 30, 2014 article in Savannah Morning News.
  • Goodall House (Macon, Georgia), 618 Orange Street. The fact that building is gone was noticed by editor User:Bubba73, who was preparing to visit it. There is a park now where the building was located. Based on Google maps / Google street view review, looking for a building as appears in photos accompanying NRHP nomination document. The nom document includes a map which no longer matches up as streets have been realigned; the park was not there at date of map. --doncram 19:40, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Further info about its demolition now at Talk:Goodall House (Macon, Georgia) and in the Goodall House (Macon, Georgia) article. Thank you User:Krelnik for your attention to this. --Doncram (talk) 20:50, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • As of 2017, Google satellite view shows no buildings where the complex was located. Google Streetview dated May 2014, accessed April 22, 2017, shows an empty lot.
  • Debris from the demolition of the Old Primary School was burned in April 2011.Deborah Bennett (April 27, 2011). "BOE burns Old Primary School debris". The Millen News. Retrieved April 22, 2017.

I'm planning to go to both of those in late May. I was in Millen about a year ago and the school is gone but the foundation is still there. I should have photographed it, but I didn't. As far as the church, the cemetery is part of the NRHP, so I'll get it when I go up there. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 22:23, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This one is a weird story that I am writing up for an article on the house. The house was slated to be demolished (I think the permit was even issued) in 2007 to build a new Central High School in Macon. The Historic Macon Foundation sold the building for $1 to the city of Morrow in Clayton County, which was putting together a tourist / shopping attraction called Olde Towne Morrow. Other historic houses were moved as well, none others on the NRHP though. But the attraction collapsed in less than a year, the town of Morrow lost over $10 million on the deal, and felony charges were filed against at least one official. I intend to attempt to take photos of the house in its new location, which is much closer to where I live. Apparently they spent over $1 million restoring the house but now that the site has been abandoned it is attracting vandalism and the like. An odd and sad story. --Krelnik (talk) 13:39, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A parcel map showing the oblong 3.80 acre lot upon which the Weeks-Kimbrough House was located is included in the NRHP document.

It appears that the house has been demolished or otherwise lost, however, because review of Talbot County tax assessor map information shows the same oblong 3.80 acre lot having no building upon it.[1] It is Parcel ID 005 12255 L, which has no buildings or other improvements upon it.[2]

County location issue[edit]

  • There are 43 listings in DeKalb County, Georgia or Dekalb County, Georgia filed under "De Kalb" county, at least per the list-table generator. What is correct name for county, and/or does NRIS list this wrong, or perhaps worse with a mixture of county names? doncram (talk) 18:14, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I live here and I believe "DeKalb" is correct. --Krelnik (talk) 13:56, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Town location issue[edit]

Yes, it is on St. Simons Island. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 05:57, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Address issues[edit]

photo not of the Dawson Women's Clubhouse
  • Dawson Woman's Clubhouse in Dawson, Georgia, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, with listing address being 311 6th Ave., as appears in NRIS2013a and in the NRHP document linked from the article. However a 2012 photo of the building at the NRHP listing address of 311 6th Avenue in Dawson is not the clubhouse building, which is a log cabin. Instead the building is now known as the Log Cabin Club House, and is located at 360 6th Avenue, NE, in Dawson. No indication of having been moved. Seems like original listing address was wrong, or the address numbering system was changed. --Doncram (talk) 23:01, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That house is at the current 311 address, but the correct log house is at 360, probably due to renumbering. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:47, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
new pic of Dawson Woman's Clubhouse
User:Bubba73 has since photographed the building, and added to the article that "As of 2018, it had been moved to the southwest corner of 7th Avenue and Stonewall Street." Which, per Google maps, is a different location than 360 6th Avenue address still asserted to be current by this source. So it seems like it has been moved twice? --Doncram (talk) 22:51, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I got email back from the local historical society. They think the 311 vs. 360 on 6th Avenue was a typographical error. The building was moved to the corner of 7th and Stonewall in October 2017. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 18:04, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
