Description

Building recording took place once the occupants of the property were relocated, owing to the property's location within Nasewick Firing Range danger area. At this time, the building was thought to be between 80-90 years old and scheduled for demolition. The survey revealed it to be much older. The survey report appears to have been written some time after the survey, in 2006. The building has remained unoccupied throughout this time. Note: The NRHE record describes this event as an excavation, and wrongly assigns it to the year 1982, but there is no evidence in the cited source to suggest an excavation took place. See <2>.
