2. Page 9: Paragraph 3) The 100's series should be noted on a location map.
3. Page 1: The term *Eclectic'1 is not a commonly used classification for the style
of the buildings. Perhaps the term Spanish Revival" should be used as it would
be the traditional classification nomenclature for this style.

properties of the time and region is needed. Sanitariums? College campuses?
