Having reviewed the above-referenced report, we concur that the Crabtree Creek Warren Truss Bridge (WA8427) is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C and the proposed boundary appears appropriate. We also agree that the following properties are not eligible for listing. Westchester Subdivision (WA4635) Country Club Hills Subdivision (WA4474) Keith and Alice Harrod House (WA4643) Crabtree Valley Mall (WA7972) Birchwood Garden Apartments (WA8429) We are unable to agree with the determinations of eligibility for the following properties for the reasons outlined below. Beckana and Birchwood Hills Subdivisions (WA4597) and (WA4464) For both subdivisions, the comparables are limited to eight other mid-century subdivisions in Wake County (seven of them in Raleigh) that were listed in 2010 or 2011 (the one in Garner was DOE’d in 2018) with periods of significance ending between 1949 and 1965. For the seven Raleigh districts, there are solid context statements based on a recently completed survey that looked at dozens of mid-century subdivisions in Raleigh; i.e., the SHPO could say with certainty that these rose to the top in terms of integrity.
