Level of significance: National State Local X <br />42. Statement of significance: Although the structure is directly associated with an eligible site that has contributed <br />to the broad pattern of the historic development of the area (Criterion A), the building itself is considered non - <br />supporting due to its lack of integrity. <br />43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: In terms of the seven aspects of integrity the <br />structure appears to retain only integrity of materials and design. Other aspects such as location, setting, and <br />feeling, have been compromised by the removal of the nearby associated historic townsite structures, the <br />construction of modern roads in the vicinity and the fact that the area no longer evokes the aesthetic or historic <br />sense of a past period of time. Modern mining occurs in the near vicinity and overshawdows any sense of <br />historic setting. <br />VII. NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT <br />44.
