Levi F. Warren Jr. High School, which both my brothers attended but from which I was spared by our move to Florida, is listed by NPS as Warren, Levi, Jr., High School). This assumes that it is a high school name for Levi F. Warren, Jr., but in reality it was a junior high school name for Levi F. Warren, The F by the way was always used in the school's name.

I copied this in from discussion at wt:NRHP about Jr., Sr., III punctuation. The correction needed, I think, is to revise NRIS to read "Levi F. Warren Junior High School". Spelling out "Junior" seems to me to clarify that it is a Junior High School. Certainly drop the comma before Junior, and add the needed F.

The names for a whole batch of items covered in one MPS were given names in NRIS that include all or most of the MPS name. Perhaps the State of Massachusetts or individual nominator who prepared all these made the same systematic error in including all or most of the MPS name as part of title of the property. But it seems that the NRHP places covered should each have their own name, not including the MPS phrase. These are:

Adams National Historic Site was listed on the National Register in 1966 at refnum 660000051 but the site was renamed "Adams National Historical Park" on November 2, 1998. See

REFERENCES TO THE HISTORIC SITE.—Any reference in any law (other than this Act), regulation, document, record, map, or other paper of the United States to the Adams National Historic Site shall be considered to be a reference to the historical park.
I checked the National Register announcements in weeks following the November 2, 1998 date and find no name change announced in the National Register.
The original National Register name still shows in NRIS and in mirror sites such as

In Quincy, Massachusetts, while taking photos of about 100 NRHP sites,
User:Sswonk and I have come across the following on the ground and in conversation with the Librarian at the Quincy Historical Society, which has the complete Mass Historical Commission report on each site, including a plot map that shows the exact location of the lot on the street. The copyright status of these is uncertain, so I have not uploaded them. Some of the information on them is available [
here.]
S. H. Barnicoat Monuments, shown in NRIS at 114 Columbia Street, is in MHC at the west corner of Columbia and Centre Streets, now a Valvoline and Duncan Donuts, visible on Bing and Google.
Quincy Water Company Pumping Station is shown in NRIS at 106 Penn Street, the little MHC map shows it just south of the distinctive large ell shaped building which remains. The site is occupied by a small recent garage structure, also visible on Bing and Google.
Winfield House was a prominent house on the main street and it is well known that it burned some time ago.
Charles Marsh House, 248 President's Lane, appears in both Bing and Google aerial photos, and Bing Birdseye, but today the site is a mass of Tyvek HouseWrap. The MHC description says "Spacious lot adjoining Robert Burns Park but close to commercial Granite Street". Too spacious and too close to commerce, apparently. The statue of Burns is in the center of the photo.
Solomon Nightengale House (the MHC report says "Nightingale", but that may be moot.) 429 Granite Street. Again, the little MHC map makes it easy to check to see that the street numbers haven't been changed and that the photo is of the right lot. My guess is that the original house, described on QMHAS as, "three quarter Cape Cod cottage has a facade consisting of an entrance, two windows on one side and one window on the other side and is set on a typical low granite foundation. The ridge roof is pierced by a large chimney of the period. The elegant porticoed entrance was probably added on at the beginning of the 20th century during the height of the Colonial Revival era. It is composed of two baseless fluted Doric columns supporting a pedimented roof. The slight projection of the entrance edged by pilasters frame the sidelights filled with plain stained glass set in leaded forms, an indication of an early 1900s date." was torn down and the two buildings shown here were erected in its place. It is, of course possible that it was just modified heavily (
User:Sswonk found that at
Edwin W. Marsh House, but why modify this house and then build an identical one next door? An original photo is [

Thanks for noting that there are some issues with this one. I see that it is listed in NRIS in just Milton. I wonder if there has been a street name change or if there were typos in NRIS database data entry. Obtaining the NRHP nomination/inventory documents might clarify a lot here, such as whether the NRHP-listed part is all in one town or not. I checked the online-available

I recognize that local expertise is not a citable source, but I live immediately east of Brookwood Farm -- it's our neighbor on two sides. I noted it while making a list for a possible photography project on what looks like it might be a beautiful long weekend ... eight NRHPs missing photos within walking distance.
For the town name part of the issue, it is in both towns, but if you were to list it in only one, Canton would be the choice for the reasons I mentioned above. As for "Hillside Street" versus "Hillside Avenue", it's probably just carelessness on the part of the originator -- note that
Old Barn which is part of the Farm, is shown correctly as Hillside Street. And, of course, the Massachusetts predilection for changing street names at town boundaries strikes home here, so if the location gets changed to Canton, the street becomes Blue Hill River Road. Jim . . . .

I didn't fully understand this at first. The suggested correction for NRIS is to give "Canton" as the location for
Old Barn, replacing "Milton". And to give both "Canton and Milton" as the town location for
Brookwood Farm, if it is verified that the NRHP-listed part of the Farm is in both towns. It is known by Jameslwoodward that the current farm property is in fact in both towns.

Actually the Elkman system shows it in Arlington, MA, Medford, MA, Somerville, MA, and Winchester, MA. There are four separate entries in the
elkman "who has" output, if u search on "Mystic Valley", all with the same refnum. You can then click on any one of four infoboxes, which would just show one town name within it, and you would have to manually edit the infobox to include mention of the other towns.

Blue Hill Road is a question. Although there are three different Blue Hill XX in the Reservation, none of them is Blue Hill Road:
Blue Hill River Road is a border of the Reservation in Canton.

Greenwood Memorial United Methodist Church illustrates a more general problem in Boston. Because Boston grew by accretion and does not have street numbers that run on a grid, there are often multiple locations for the same address. 380 Washington Street is one of those. NRIS lists it in Boston, which is correct, but not helpful because if you give
"380 Washington St., Boston Massachusetts" to Google Maps, the church's location comes up third. If you use
"380 Washington St., Dorchester Massachusetts", it comes up first. It's no problem in the text of the article. As I understand our policy we can use "Dorchester" there -- as in "
Dorchester, Massachusetts, a neighborhood of
Boston". But what about the infobox and the Boston list of NRHP sites? What's our policy?. . . . Jim . . . .

The
Eber Sherman Farm in
Berkshire County, Massachusetts, which is at a latitude of 42º42', was listed as being on the equator — a trifle far south, if you ask me, since the NRHP doesn't track items in Ecuador :-)
The original nomination form - prior to the adoption of UTM coordinates by the NRHP - gives four corner point coordinates for the property, all beginning 41 deg. 57 min. north and 70 deg. 3 min west. This defines a large polygon off Bound Brook Island Road. The actual House (part of a complex of buildings known in the Massachusetts State Register as the "Atwood-Higgins Complex Historic District", rather than the Historic Name used by the NRHP, the Thomas Atwood House). The house is at 41°57′16.39″N 70°3′32.6″W computed from Google Earth against maps in the 1973 nomination file at the Massachusetts Historical Commission.

Old Harbor Reservation Parkways, Metropolitan Park System of Greater Boston are shown as "William J.

The circle at its northwest corner is Pacuska Circle (there's a plaque in its center). There is a statue of

Or, since Old Colony Avenue doesn't actually go to Kosciusko Circle -- it ends just west of it, at a lower level, you could say "...and Old Colony Ave. from Pacuska Circle to its southern end."

NPS filing date 10-2009 indicating a pending district listing, #09000936, entitled "Middlesex Canal Historic and Archaeological". This number does not return anything in
NRHP Focus, while the Middlesex Canal is listed with #72000117.
Something (or things) appears to be awry here, but I'm not sure what. Magic♪piano 15:41, 3 April 2010 (UTC)reply
