,,. Resources clot Eligihlr for ';,t .,:..; Register <br />Somerset. Located on SH 133 nine miles east of Paonia, Somerset lies in <br />• the northeast quarter of Section 17, Township 135, Range IOW, only six <br />miles down valley from the Paonia Reservoir compground and is the <br />closest community and post office to this growing recreational resource. <br />Unlike Bowie, Somerset has been significantly altered since its <br />demise as a mining town in the 1920s and while many of the restored <br />residences remain, the integrity of the town as a "company town" is lost. <br />Consisting of nearly 2U0 residents, this attractive mountain community <br />does not have any specific homes that are distinctive enough historically <br />or architecturally to warrant consideration for eligibility to the <br />National or State Register, nor are any homes, buildings or sites known <br />to be associated with prominent events or persons in history. <br />Accordingly, while each I~uild alternative proposes relocations, <br />• some of which may have severe social impacts on the community, it is felt <br />that there will be no 4(f) cultural resource involvement with any alter- <br />native. It is anticipated that there may be strong local objection to <br />some of the proposed alternatives, but it is not felt that opposition to <br />the taking of any individual home or business can be related to the <br />"historical significance" of the structure. <br />_~~'-~.:/ .7/!~~f /l ' /ji~;l'i (I 0//:~ i°.:~; r 1 2` ~{~~~ {~!(~(~4~1i l_~`\-\._, ~i~``~~ <br />.. ~ I /i Ii VIII ~~1~~~1 1. ~~%, 1i~`~ ~~ \ /f~ <br />'~li \ -~ ~ 'r ` <br />1~~' ~ '~~,. .'il' s' 11 !~'. ~, \ ~/I ii... _~_~.'i'4J:' `\`1.I~..L \-~~`~J / r.~// <br />1Jr`~ ~~ f -_•~~~: „lei ,' l0 1 '~, I~ ''l1\1I err ~~ ~=~.\'.; :~.~~,~\A~.1~~ \ ~~~.J/~~ <br />' ~ _ _ 1 :~• ~7:.
