Re:  Archives and History Comments on the Prospective Designation of Restormel as a historic landmark.

As mandated by State Law, the Division of Archives and History has commented upon the prospective designation of Restormel as a historic landmark.  Despite being tardy, the comment has been received and suggests that several questions need to be addressed before the demonstration of special significance can be validated.  It is the purpose of this document to attempt to answer these questions and thereby validate the claim for special significance.

1.  The comment notes that no interiors of the buildings have been described in the Survey and Research Report.  According to State Statute, interiors of structures can only be designated with owner's consent.  The owner has not consented to interior designation.  Consequently, no interior descriptions are required.

2.  The comment states that no tax map was included with the Survey and Research Report.  A tax map has been added to the report and has been sent to the Division of Archives and History.
