Dear Ns. Lewe 11 yng,
Thanks so much for the informative packet on the history of the Newbern depot.
It was good to see that your opening celebration for the first train went well.
Sami Dietrich of the Chamber of Commerce also told me that Newbern put on a
fine show that night.
There wi 11 be much work to do with the nomination. The typical architectural
description is about three pages, typed. The history statement probably should
be about 4-5 pages, typed. You have given me some valuable information but we
wi 11 need more.
For instance, I would 1 ike to have the room dimensions, architect's name, and
contractor's name from the blueprints, which I understand you have a copy of.
Also, if you can send me a reduced copy of the blueprints that would be helpful
to include with the final nomination. Next, came you send me any additional
history on Newbern in the 1920s? What was happening in the town commercially
that led the railroad to build such a fine new depot?
Finally, I still need a copy of the city tax map which shows the location and
property boundaries of the depot. I understand that the property is not taxed,
but that is not why I wanted the map. The federal requirements of a National
Register nomination demand that a copy of the local tax map be included with
the nomination. Please forward me a copy when you have had an opportunity of
putting together the history information I requested above.
Sincerely,
C~?Y~
