Re: Mid-Cm-rituck Bridge Project, R-2576, Currituck and Dare Counties, CH 94-0809
We are in receipt of the March 11, 2009, letter from Courtney Foley, transmitting her Historic Architectural Resources Survey Report Addendum for the above referenced undertaking. Having reviewed the addendum, we offer the following comments.
As noted in the report, the State Historic Preservation Office concurred on April 30, 2008 that the following properties are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
Girrituck Beach Light Station (CK1 — NR) Whalehead Club (CK5 — NR) Corolla Historic District (CK97 — DOE) Ellie and Blanton Saunders Decoy Workshop (CK99 — DOE) Dr. W. T. Griggs House (CK 103 — DOE) Currituck Sound Rural Historic District (DOE) Cle-01 09- Daniel Saunders House (DOE) (2,140 101 Samuel McHorney House (DOE) G4-00111 Coinjock Colored School (DOE) Oy_011,,
On June 2, 2008, after further discussion with your staff, we also concurred that the Center Chapel A_ME Zion Church is eligible for the National Register.
We also concur that the five properties in the subject addendum are eligible for listing in the National Register. They are:
(Former) Grandy School (CK 40 — NR 1998) Jarvisburg Colored School (CK 55 — SL 1999) Dexter W. Snow House (CK 81 — SL 1988 and DOE 1989) Christian Advocate Baptist Church (CK 98— DOE 1996) C. W Wright Store (CK 315 — SL 2008)
Location: 109 East Jones Street, Raleigh NC 27601 Mailing Address: 4617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh NC 27699-4617 Telephone/Fax: (919) 807-6570/807-6599 With the exception of the Wright Store, the proposed boundaries appear appropriate. As for the exception, we would note that the C. W. Wright House (CK 316), along with the store, was placed on the State Study List (SL) following the comprehensive survey of Currituck County. These two buildings should be considered together as a single eligible property with adjusted boundaries.
In addition to this change, we would recommend that you include the Survey Site Numbers for all the properties in the report as well as add the information provided above as to the date the five properties, evaluated in this report, were placed on the National Register or SL or previously determined eligible for listing.
We have already requested a digital copy of this report from the author and will pick it up on March 24th to add to our files.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment, contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-807-6579.
