Talk:Williams House (Ulmer, South Carolina)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The coordinates given for Williams House (Ulmer, South Carolina) are nowhere near being correct. The NRHP form gives zone 17N, 480720E,3860680N, which converts to about 34.888333,-81.210997, but that is up near North Carolina when it is in a county bordering on Georgia. I suspect a major typo in the Northing coordinate, but can someone figure out the correct coordinates? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 08:06, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is 33.084913, -81.207035 correct? The nom form says it's in the vicinity of Ulmer, so I played around with the UTM until I got something close to that town. It looks like if you change the first 8 in the northing to a 6 (e.g. 17N,480720E,3660680N), you get near Ulmer. Then I just scanned around that vicinity using Google maps trying to find a structure whose layout and orientation matched the architectural drawing in the nom form and the pictures here. There aren't any street views of the structure, so I can't verify any farther than that.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 20:21, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You are dead on! That matches the footprint in the NRHP form. Thanks. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 20:49, 10 June 2016 (UTC) [reply]
