Notes
  1. Procedural confusion around the listing of the Robinson and Swan Blocks, documented in National Archives file #63792971, appears to have inadvertently resulted in the omission of the property from subsequent database sources at the federal level. In addition, no National Register reference number seems to have been assigned.
