CONFLICT C120: THE MULTIPLE-PROPERTY NAME, PRINTED WHOLE

The town's first designation is its WPA park: 309 N. Jefferson St., listed 29 March 2007, under Criteria A and C. The nomination (prepared by Glory-June Greiff, August 2005; received at NPS 15 February 2007) carries the park as a Works Progress Administration collection — resources developed in 1935 and 1937 — with a count of 8 contributing and 6 noncontributing resources: two contributing buildings (the former bathhouse; the bandstand), three noncontributing buildings (open picnic shelters), three contributing structures (the remains of the dam with pedestrian bridge; the former pool basin including concrete check dams; fieldstone bridge abutments), two noncontributing structures, and objects as the form's count line carries them; periods of significance 1925–1949 and 1950–1974. The nomination's oral-history base is the Heim interviews of October 2005, held by the Walkerton Area Historical Society (below). Its multiple-property name stands in conflict, whole (C120): the NPS metadata carries the listing under "New Deal Resources in Indiana State Parks MPS"; the nomination form itself carries "New Deal Work Relief Projects in St. Joseph County" — and the form's supporting correspondence uses the county name. Both stand as their carriers print them. One procedural fact with county-law weight: the nomination record carries that at the 21 November 2005 meeting of the county's Historic Preservation Commission, the commissioners voted unanimously to accept the staff's favourable recommendation of the nomination, the county acting as a Certified Local Government assisting the state programme — the only preservation law that has ever touched a North Liberty property in the record reached, and it touched it procedurally (below).
