NRHP names

• NRIS includes as "Worth Count Courthouse", listed January 20, 1983, located Public Sq., Grant City, Missouri, in Worth County, Missouri what must be meant as Worth County Courthouse. Typo: Worth Count Courthouse; Correction: Worth County Courthouse. doncram (talk) 10:27, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
• Cassville Ranger Station Historic District in Cassville, Missouri is listed in NRIS as "Cassbille Ranger Station Historic District". It was listed August 04, 2003, is located on MO 248. Typo: Cassbille; correction: Cassville, in name for the NRHP district. doncram (talk) 12:43, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
• Alvah WAshington Townley Farmstead Historic District, listed August 5, 1999, located in Chamois, Missouri has extra capital letter. Typo: Alvah WAshington Townley Farmstead Historic District; correction: Alvah Washington Townley Farmstead Historic District
• Camp Ground Church and Cemetary, listed September 23, 1985, located W of Milan, Missouri. Cemetery is misspelled. Lvklock (talk) 02:29, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
• Missouri Pacific Building, listed in NRIS as being "Missouri Pacifc Building". Apparent typo: Pacifc. Correction: Pacific. Located at 210 N. 13th St. Note this one also has city spelling error, see below.
• Boonslick State Park, listed December 30, 199, 1 mi. N of Boonsboro on MO 87, 2 mi. SW on MO 187, Boonsboro. It is now called Boone's Lick State Historic Site. It may have been a state park at listing. The key is Boone's Lick, as opposed to Boonslick. Town name also incorrect, reported below.
• Bainridge Ferry Rd., Cty Rd. 623, Cape Girardeau, listed June 21, 2007. Should be Bainbridge Ferry Rd.[1] --sanfranman59 (talk) 23:44, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
• YWCA, Phillis Wheatley Branch, in St. Louis. In NRIS this was listed as "YWCA, Phyllis Weatley Branch", in which first name seems incorrectly spelled (should be i not y) and last name was incorrectly spelled (should include an h). I am not 100 percent positive first name is spelled wrong, because Phyllis may possibly be an alternative legitimate spelling. The wikipedia article on the person is Phillis Wheatley however. Also listed on the NRHP are Phillis Wheatley Association in Cleveland, OH, and Phillis Wheatley YWCA in Washington, DC. So it seems Phillis Wheatley is the correct spelling. Problem noted by User:Lvklock. doncram (talk) 10:54, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

• Union Electric Administration Building-Lakeside, Lakeside, Missouri, listed on the NRHP in Miller County, Missouri. Listed in NRIS as "Union Electrict Administration Building-Lakeside". Typo: Electrict, Correction: Electric. --doncram (talk) 13:15, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

• Isaac Miller House is probably correct name for place NRIS-listed as Issac Miller House (now a redirect). Located at 3003 Ashland Ave., St. Joseph, Missouri; added to NRHP onSeptember 17, 1980; NRHP Reference number is 80002320. Noted by a non-logged in editor at county list-article, as "Isaac" more probably correct than "Issac". --doncram 15:37, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

• Floyd Jacobs House, 5050 Sunset Dr. Kansas City, MO, designed by Mary Rockwell Hook. NRIS lists name as "Jacobs Floyd House"; it is Floyd Jacobs House as documented in Sherry Piland and Elaine Ryder (June 29, 1983). "Residential Structures by Mary Rockwell Hook TR". National Park Service.. --doncram 05:11, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

• Sumner Public School (refnum 82005331) in Boonville is incorrectly listed in the NRIS as "Summer Public School". The name is spelled "Sumner" repeatedly in the nom form. — Ammodramus (talk) 14:22, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

• Frabrishous and Sarah A. Thomas House: It looks like whoever filled in the registration form for the Frabrishous and Sarah A. Thomas House made a typo in the name field. The house is correctly called the "Frabrishous and Sarah A. Thomas House", with two "R"s in "Frabrishous", as you can see in the continuation sheets. Noted by Smurrayinchester 13:39, 19 October 2018 (UTC) at wt:NRHP. Added to wp:NRIS info issues MO by Doncram (talk) 11:04, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

• Dauphine Hotel lists town as Bonnot's Mill. Bonnots Mill Historic District has it without the apostrophe. Lvklock (talk) 15:59, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

However the NRHP app doc for Dauphine Hotel, available from state of Missouri here in a PDF doc, does list it as Bonnot's Mill. doncram (talk) 16:22, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

• Tower Rock (Wittenberg, Missouri), listed Feb 26, 1970, in Perry County, Missouri is NRIS described as "1 mi. S of Wittenburg in Mississippi River" and being located in "Wittenburg, Missouri".

• Inter-State Building located at 417 E 13th/1300 Locust is listed as being in Jackson, MO. It is on the Jackson County list. Jackson, MO is in Cape Girardeau Co., and seems to have neither a Locust not a 13th St. Kansas City, in Jackson County, has both. The town for this should be Kansas City. Lvklock (talk) 02:06, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
• Colonial Apartments 406 Walnut St., Cathage, MO (Jasper County), listed 2001-08-14. The town name should be Carthage. Typo: Cathage; Correction: Carthage; in town name field. Lvklock (talk) 15:24, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

• Boonslick State Park, listed December 30, 1969, 1 mi. N of Boonsboro on MO 87, 2 mi. SW on MO 187, Boonsboro. It is actually located in Boonesboro, not Boonsboro; correction is needed in location and in town name. Site name is also inaccurate, noted above.

Address issues

• The Brandon-Bell-Collier House in Fulton (Callaway County) is listed in NRIS as being at 207 W. Ninth Street. The correct address is 207 E. Ninth Street.

• The Roeschel-Toennes Oswald Property (refnum 83000986) in Boonville is listed on the nom form as being at "515 West Spring", and described as being "at the northeast corner of West End Drive and Spring Street".

• Hubecky House, listed in NRIS as being at 197 Lafayette (due to NRIS data entry typo), is in fact at 917 Lafayette. Inventory form shows 917. Commons photo shows 917. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 22:06, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Demolished but still listed

• Elks Club Lodge No. 501, 318–320 W. 4th St., Joplin. Destroyed by the 2011 tornado, as indicated by The New York Times here. Daniel Case (talk) 18:29, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Apparently it was the new Elks 501 Lodge that got destroyed, not this one. Never mind ... Daniel Case (talk) 16:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

• Unitarian Church of the Messiah, in St. Louis, is identified by the State OPRP as having been demolished, and having been delisted from the NRHP on December 19, 1994. However, it still appears in NRIS as a regularly listed item, listed in in 1980. This is the one at Locust and Garrison Sts., St. Louis, Missouri. --doncram 22:16, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

• Meierhoffer Sand Company Office Building (refnum 82005318), in Boonville, has apparently been demolished or removed. The address is given as "201 2nd Street"; this and a map at the nominating form place it on the WSW wide of 2nd at an intersection with High. High now dead-ends just ENE of 2nd, and the entire WSW wide of 2nd is occupied by the Isle of Capri Casino's parking lot. See 2015 photo of 2nd and High; Google Maps satellite view also shows parking lot with no buildings. Ammodramus (talk) 12:30, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Architectural style, year of construction, other

• House at 5011 Sunset Drive, at 5011 Sunset Dr. in Kansas City, MO is listed in NRIS as having significant date 1908, but the Mary Rockwell Hook thematic resources document here describes it as built 1922-23. NRIS lists it as Bungalow/craftsman, but the thematic resources document describes it as Italianate architecture. --doncram 18:02, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

• The Meyer House (Florissant, Missouri), at 915 Lafayette is listed in NRIS as having been built in 1924, but its document states 1922. The similar, adjacent Hubecky House at 917 Lafayette, is listed in NRIS as built in 1922 consistent with its document. "1924" appears to be an NRIS data entry error.
