Coordinates[edit]

Doncram, I did some cleanup. You left a question about the coords. Through google streetview, I confirmed that you were correct. The NRIS coords were vacant land across the street. The streetview images of the building on the west side of the road matched the picture in the nom. I updated the coords. MB 02:36, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MB, thanks! Including for your giving source, I like how you did that with "source:MB-googlestreetview". And for letting me known, and now I have added a bit more. The NRHP docs have come in and out of availability for me during the last day or two. --Doncram (talk) 03:14, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Doncram, not sure where the address of "50 School House Land" came from, I don't see it in the nom form. But the current address is different (could not confirm with googlemaps but did so with bing, and cross-checked with the Boulder town website), so I updated the article. Also changed the ref you added - to use town hall website to show the building is used as the Town Hall. MB 03:57, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, i noticed that "School House Ln." did not appear in Google Maps, which simply shows no name for that street, but i didn't make it up, it came in from the county list-article page, which i routinely copy into my drafting. I figured it was because there are in fact two address fields in NRIS, which sometimes differ, and Elkman used one for the infobox generator, different than the one he used for the county list-article generator. (Although NRIS's two fields are both derived from the NRHP doc, which doesn't make sense here if School House Ln does not appear in the doc.) So, going back to the first version of the list-article, now I see School House Ln. was not there. WikiBlame says it was this edit by User:Ntsimp which added it. I do suppose that is, or once was, a name for the street, but i dunno where they got it from, maybe they don't either anymore, but presumably it showed up somewhere.
OTOH, @MB:, about your using "351 North 100 East", the address from the town page, i had in fact gone there myself, and had seen that at bottom right, but I felt i could not use it because it does not say it is for "Boulder Town Office", and there is no photo i could find within the town website showing the building, so no correspondence was established. However, since you put it in, i look further now [and i didn't notice your mention of Bing, but that is what i tried independently], and now I do find that Bing maps gives name N 100 E for the road, and the building is in between E 300 N and E 400 N, so I accept that "351 North 100 East" would be about there, and is this place. I think u still are making a tiny assumption that there exists only one town building, but I am fine with your doing that, i guess. It probably really is fine. I prefer having a town page as source, rather than Google maps, too, in general. Whew, that's a lot to spit out! Just trying to let u know that i am not crazy or unreliable about how i do stuff, in case you worry. :) And, thanks again for helping, further. --Doncram (talk) 04:53, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Doncram, I wasn't concerned you are crazy. Also, I noticed in google that it has no name for that street and can't find "351 North 100 E" in Boulder. But if you search for the post office in Boulder, it says it is on "325 N 100 E." I think that is more evidence. MB 05:47, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, funny way to put that ... ok i am glad that you don't mind the fact that i am crazy.... :) --Doncram (talk) 06:08, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Doncram, I looked for a better ref to say the Town Office is in the historic school building, but the best I could do was to find a 1976 bicentennial project to convert the Boulder Elementary School into a community center. Nothing to document the community center later becoming the Town Office. But I did find the source of the address "50 School House Lane" - that is the address the present Boulder Elementary School uses [1], but google doesn't know where that is, it thinks the name of the street is "Lower Boulder Road". I'm moving on so something else now! MB 01:50, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
