Nice catch, DR! The NRIS listing is for "Pine Street Creamery, (Former)", listed December 1, 1997, location 414 Glenwood Ave., Raleigh, North Carolina. It should indeed be "State" not "Street" in the name. The place is also a Raleigh Historic Landmark, as shown here. doncram (talk) 19:25, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

County location issues

[edit]
  • Massey Hill High School in Fayetteville is listed in the NRIS as in Wake County. Fayetteville and the address of the school are clearly in Cumberland County (which does not border Wake County). --sanfranman59 (talk) 03:18, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Saint Agnes Church, 27 Franklin St., Franklin, North Carolina: Listed in the NRIS as in Caswell County. Per the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, it's in Macon County[4]. Also, according to the USGS GNIS database, there is no populated place named Franklin in Caswell County. --sanfranman59 (talk) 04:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dallas Graded and High School, 300 W. Church St., Dallas, NC: Listed in the NRIS as in Duplin County. The address is in Gaston County and nowhere near Duplin County. Also, according to the USGS GNIS database, the only populated place named Dallas in North Carolina is in Gaston County. --sanfranman59 (talk) 20:45, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Leak-Chaffin-Browder House, NC 8, 0.1 mi. S of jct. with NC 1941 and St. Philip's Episcopal Church, NC 65 and 8 and SR 1957 are incorrectly listed in the NRIS as in Germantown. Per the NC HPO website, they're in Germanton.[5] Germantown is in Hyde County in eastern NC. Germanton is in Stokes County in north-central NC.

Street address issues

[edit]

Architect, builder, engineer issues

[edit]
  • "Northrup & O'Brien" is incorrectly listed in NRIS version 2010a as architects for two places. The correct spelling is Northup & O'Brien. See Heather Fearnbach (2010). "Northup & O'Brien". North Carolina State University Libraries..
Note there are several NRHP places with the correct "Northup" spelling. --Doncram (talk) 16:06, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
