 * I'm intrigued to know why things weren't pursued further by the NPS. When I researched the Salvation Army Headquarters in St. Paul (a similar phantom listing), it turns out the owner protested which caused an automatic disqualification.  I wonder if historic districts can be similarly sabotaged by owner unwillingness. --Bobak (talk) 07:03, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I think I've read of some proposed historic districts having a vote of owners which then imposed the decision to become NRHP-listed upon all. I am not sure of that recollection.  I definitely have read of proposed historic districts where individual owners were allowed to opt out, leaving a gerrymander-shaped district to actually be listed.  In New York State the correspondence including individual owners' letters stating their opposition is often available.  Here, i have no idea what happened. :) --Doncram (talk) 12:33, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Tags were added to the article questioning its General notability and asserting there is Original research. I'm gonna remove the tags. Please discuss concerns here. About notability, there is documentation in the article of the existence of this district in the National Register's database (with status as not ultimately listed, as explained). And there are multiple webpages which can be found that refer to the district. I think it helps Wikipedia to have this article. About Original research, what is the specific concern. Not everything needs to be inline-sourced, especially if it is obvious and true. Is there any question about accuracy of anything here? -- do ncr  am  20:38, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
