Omissions and exclusions[edit]

  • In Clackamas County, NRIS omits River Mill Hydroelectric Project. Or, rather, it includes it but with listing status="DR", which, depending on the meaning of that status code, excludes it from being considered NRHP-listed. Wikipedia tables of NRHP listings have been excluding entries into NRIS database with listing code "DR". I have believed that code means an owner objection was filed, preventing the property from being added, not sure if that is correct. The DR code can be seen by searching for it in the regular Elkman infobox generator which now reports status DO and DR and some others perhaps. The NRHP.COM site and some other mirrors do not make distinctions about delisted sites, eligible-but-owner-objection, and certain other categories in the NRIS database, so NRHP.COM erroneously reports as NRHP-listed a fair number of sites that are not in fact NRHP sites. The Oregon state PDF list of NRHP sites includes this property. Questions:
    • Question 1: What does "DR" signify? If it does mean owner objection filed, can it be said that the property is NRHP-eligible, but not NRHP-listed?
    • Question 2: Should this property have that code or not? It was reported with no qualification in the new weekly listing report of May 18, 2001, at http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/listings/20010518.htm.
    • Question 3: What is the correct date of its listing. The new listing report stated May 1, 2001. However, the NRIS database gives April 03, 2001 as its listing date.

  • NOTE: There are apparent omissions in NRIS of other properties reported listed in the same week's weekly listing report, including Hope-Van Allen House, 352 NW Drake Rd., Bend, 01000495, LISTED, 5/10/01, in Deschutes County.

Possible NRIS or Oregon PDF list errors:

  • Note, in Deschutes County the Oregon PDF list also includes two others not listed in NRIS:
    • House, 503 NW Delaware, Redmond, Deschutes County
    • Shevlin-Hixon Mill Buildings, Riverside Blvd , Bend, Deschutes County
  • Further, Oregon PDF fails to include 5 which appear in NRIS:
    • Congress Apartments
    • Benjamin Hamilton House
    • Thomas McCann House
    • Robert D. Moore House
    • George Palmer and Dorothy Binney Putnam House

These 2 omissions were identified by Katr67. doncram (talk) 00:30, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • In Jefferson County, Oregon Pacific Railroad Linear Historic District is listed in NRIS in Marion County, Oregon. It is shown in Oregon PDF both in Jefferson County and in Marion county, as being in Unincorporated area of both. It appears to be an NRIS error of omission not to have a secondary listing for it in Jefferson County. doncram (talk) 19:31, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Property names[edit]

  • For Jean Baptiste Charbonneau Memorial and Inskip Station Ruins, in or near Danner, Oregon, NRIS lists as "Charbonneau,Jean Baptiste, Memorial and Inskip Station RuinS". It would seem better to include a space before Jean and to use lowercase S at very end. Perhaps this reflects space constraint in the NRIS database name field (is 64 the max number of characters?), but still the uppercase can be changed. Note lastname/comma-unwrapped version, "Jean Baptiste Charbonneau Memorial and Inskip Station Ruins" fits with one extra space, although maybe that may sort to Jean rather than Charbonneau in NRIS reports (not a problem in wikipedia). doncram (talk) 15:59, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ecola Point Site (35CLT21), Address restricted, Cannon Beach, is reported in NRIS with typo showing as "Bcola" rather than Ecola. Mirror sites like www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com follow NRIS error. Correct name of "Ecola" is shown in Oregon state's list and in the U.S. Federal Register, published here.[1]

  • For NRIS listing of Monahan House, there is no house of that name in Oregon PDF. Oregon calls same address/same refnum house John T. Hash House instead. Appears that NRIS listing should be revised to show John T. Hash House at least as an alternate. Or perhaps NRIS listing named the wrong house from the MRA? No documentation available now to show this is a house with two alternate names, but perhaps that is the case, or either NRIS or Oregon just mistated the name of the house. doncram (talk) 18:24, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
These are in fact named "Paul Londershausen House" and "Gottlieb Londershausen House" in the Oregon National Register List. doncram (talk) 09:13, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • the Hibernian Hall in Portland, Oregon, now known as Wonder Ballroom, is misstated as "Hiberian Hall" in NRIS. Correct to "Hibernian" from "Hiberian". --doncram 02:46, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Document SWITCHEROO: The [[Gottlieb Londershausen House, at 402 Main Street, Dayton, Oregon, is one block away from the NRHP-listed Paul Londershausen House, located at 309 Main Street. Both houses were listed on the NRHP with the same name, Londerhausen House, in 1987. In an apparent document switcheroo, the National Park Service text document available at the Paul Londershausen House's reference number (NRIS #87000384) is the form describing the Gottlieb Londershausen House (NRIS #87000383) and vice versa, while their corresponding photo documents are filed at their correct reference numbers.

County location issue[edit]

The NRIS coordinates for the house, which can be clicked on from the wikipedia article about it now, place it clearly in Polk County, when viewed in Mapquest which shows county boundaries. doncram (talk) 18:42, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Olallie Lake Guard Station, S of Pinhead Buttes, Mt. Hood NF, with NRIS-given coordinates 44°48′52″N 121°47′22″W / 44.81444°N 121.78944°W / 44.81444; -121.78944 (Olallie Lake Guard Station) is listed in NRIS as being near Estacada and being located in Marion County. Oregon PDF lists it in Jefferson County. Its coordinates appear to place it in Jefferson County, so it appears that NRIS county location is incorrect. That it is near Estacada is okay to say, as that is apparently the nearest city, driving, although other communities are closer and perhaps another city is closer, flying. Estacada is in Clackamas County. Corrections info by Aboutmovies. doncram (talk) 19:07, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Town location issue[edit]

  • Gordon House, at 879 W. Main St. in Silverton, Oregon, is listed in NRIS as being in "Siverton" rather than Silverton. Noted by katr67. doncram (talk) 08:14, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Address issues[edit]

  • George Taylor House (Corvallis, Oregon) is located at 504 NW Street, not on SW Street as NRIS reports. Also, the house was built in 1900 not in 1896 as NRIS reports and as was originally reported in the NRHP application document. The address correction was noted by User:46percent who photographed the property for wikipedia. The City of Corvallis confirms that the address is 504 NW 6th Street, and states it was built in 1900 not in 1896.[1] doncram (talk) 22:47, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
