This article is duplicative and and unnecessary[edit]

The main county list includes all the properties in this MRA. I don't see why a separate article is needed; it's an impressive job but it seems to me to repeat a lot of information that's also in the list article. I don't see how any purpose this list serves couldn't be handled just as effectively by writing a section on the MRA in the introductory text to the county list article.

I don't necessarily disagree, but there are two issues here: 1) Including all the information on each MRA property in the county list article would expand the "summary" section of most MRA properties by a 2-3X factor. That makes the summaries relatively long, as well as awkward and hard to read when placed in the table format (where the summary section is relatively narrow). 2) A majority of the MRA properties are simply not notable individually, and will never have an individual article (which is why I collected them into an MRA article). What you're proposing, then, is to have the county list article as the repository of information on those properties, which would imply de-linking the name in the list. That's a unique use of the county list article, so far as I'm aware. Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that, but I think it would be better to get a NRHP project consensus that that's a reasonable use of the county list article. I suggest moving this discussion to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places. Andrew Jameson (talk) 12:04, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Photos?[edit]

@Andrew Jameson: what photos are you looking for, specifically? Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 22:33, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, photos of any building that's listed in the article, but not yet illustrated, would be great. Those are:

Frank C. Huse House (Crystal Falls)
William J. Tully House (Iron River)
Van Ornum's Addition Historic District (Iron River)
Nels A. Holmes Farmstead (Stambaugh)
John S. McLean House (Stambaugh)
Lafayette McQuown House (Stambaugh)
Charles Stolberg House (Stambaugh)
John Swanson House (Stambaugh)
James Mine Historic District (Mineral Hills)
Spies Boardinghouse (Mineral Hills)
Beechwood Store (Beechwood)
Camp Gibbs
Cooks Run Trout Feeding Station
Triangle Ranch Headquarters Historic District
Van Platen - Fox Lumber Camp Historic Complex

In addition, contemporary photos of anything that currently has only a historic photo would be a plus:

Hiawatha Mine Number One Complex (Stambaugh)
Caspian Mine Headframe (Caspian)
Alpha Public Buildings Historic Complex (Alpha)
Mansfield Mine Location Historic District

Finally (more of a long shot, I know), historic photos of any building that's demolished and currently only has a "lot" picture:

Frank W. Cole House (Crystal Falls)
H. W. Harte Block – Crystal Falls Village Hall (Crystal Falls)
Cloverland Hotel (Iron River)
Gottfried Hane House (Iron River)
Donald C. MacKinnon House (Iron River)

All of these are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, so it's worth going after each one, and in a sense this article isn't "fully" illustrated until all of them are ticked off. If you've got a camera and can hit some or all of the missing ones, that would be awesome. Andrew Jameson (talk) 23:45, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Andrew Jameson: I should be back in the area in the summer, so I'll try to get these images then. :-) Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 03:37, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sweet! Thanks! Andrew Jameson (talk) 10:01, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
