Section 106 Review Washington Gas Tower 350 Hillandale Dane Winchester, Frederick County, 'virginia ED'S Project No. 2322-A Dated l ay 14, 2008 LLC ECS MID -ATLANTIC, LL P { May 14, 2008 Geotechnical • Construction Materials d Environmental a Facilities Mr. Marc Holma Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2801 Kensington Avenue Richmond, Virginia 23221 ECS Project No. 2322-A Subject: Review of Historic Places or Resources Washington Gas Tower 350 Hillandale Lane Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia Dear Mr. Holma: ECS Mid -Atlantic, LLC (ECS) is currently involved in a proposed tower extension on an existing 120 -foot monopole cellular tower project located in Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia. The 120 -foot monopole communications tower is proposed to be extended by 60 -feet to the new height of 180 -feet at the subject site. Attached are the Collocation ("CO") Submission Packet, FCC Form 621, and the project area as indicated on a U.S.G.S. quadrangle map. An archives search was performed at the Department of Historic. Resources Data Share System (DHR-DSS) and on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) information system. Six properties were identified on the DHR-DSS within the % mile APE. The Crawford Hillandale House (DHR-DSS #034-0126, recommended for listing on the NRNP) is located approximately 1,500 feet to the southwest of the subject site, the Village Auto Sales (DHR-DSS #034- 0984, not evaluated and razed) is located approximately 2,300 feet to the northwest of the subject site, the Barton -Sprinkle House (DHR-DSS #034-0981, not evaluated) is located approximately 2,900 feet L0 the southwest of the subject site, two residential dwellings located on Route 11 (DHR-DSS #034-0982 and #034-0983, not evaluated and razed) are located approximately 2,500 feet to the northwest of the subject site and the Robert Wilson, Sr. House (DHR-DSS #034-0980, not evaluated) is located approximately 2,500 feet to the northwest of the subject site. No properties or structures were present within the area of potential effect (APE), which were listed on the NRNP. A previous architectural survey conducted by Cultural Resources, Inc. (CRI) dated July 23, 2002, indicated that the proposed 120 -foot monopole tower would have no adverse effect on the historical properties in the vicinity of the site. No archaeological sites were identified within the immediate vicinity of the proposed tower site, which would suffer a direct impact from the proposed tower site construction. This tower has previously undergone SHPO review and the site was detennined to have an affect on historical properties in the vicinity of the site; however, the affect would not be adverse. A copy of the previous determination is attached. We are asking for concurrence that this tower extension will not impact the surrounding area. We would appreciate your review of the Cell Tower Review Form, the Collocation ("CO") Submission Packet, FCC Form 621, the project area and the available information. Thank you for your assistance. If you have any questions, please contact me at (540) 362-2000.

The information was forwarded by the FCC to authorized TCNS users by electronic mail and/or regular mail (letter). Persons who have received the information that you provided include leaders or their designees of federally -recognized Americar• andian Tribes, including Alaska Native Villages (collectively "Tribes"), Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs), and State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs). For your convenience in identifying the referenced Tribes and in making further contacts, the City and State of the Seat of Government for each Tribe and NHO, as well as the designated contact person, is included in the listing below. We note that Tribes may have Section 106 cultural interests in ancestral homelands or other locations that are far removed from their current Seat of Government. Pursuant to the Commission's rules as set forth in the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for Review of Effects on Historic Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal Communications Commission (NPA), all Tribes and NHOs listed below must be afforded a reasonable opportunity to respond to this notification, consistent with the procedures set forth below, unless the proposed construction falls within an exclusion designated by the Tribe or NHO. (NPA, Section W.F.4). The information you provided was forwarded to the following Tribes and NHOs who have set their geographic preferences on TCNS. If the information you provided relates to a proposed antenna structure in the State of Alaska, the following list also includes Tribes located in the State of Alaska that have not specified their geographic preferences. For these Tribes and NHOs, if the Tribe or NHO does not respond within a reasonable time, you should make a reasonable effort at follow-up contact, unless the Tribe or NHO has agreed to different procedures (NPA, Section IV.17.5). In the event such a Tribe or NHO does not respond to a follow-up inquiry, or if a substantive or procedural disagreement arises between you and a Tribe or NHO, you must seek guidance from the Commission (NPA, Section IV.G).

Manager, Cell Tower Consultation - Belinda Pryor - Shawnee Tribe - Miami, OK - electronic mail Exclusions: THIS IS YOUR OFFICIAL NOTICE THAT THE SHAWNEE TRIBE IS INTERESTED IN CONSULTING ON ALL PROJECTS BUILT IN OUR AREAS OF GEOGRAPHIC INTEREST. ATTENTION, NEW INFORMATION: Our procedures were updated on 14 January 2008. Please call Belinda Pryor at 918-542-2441 so that she can send you a copy. If your tower is a co -location, please fax us this information to let us know. We cannot always tell from the TCNS web site that a tower is a co -location. We require a written response from you to let us know that it is a co -location. If a co -location project includes some new ground disturbance (such as from an expanded compound or access road, or construction of an ancillary structure), the Shawnee Tribe treats such a project the same as any other non co -location project. Our correct mailing/physical address is: 29 South Highway 69A. Our correct phone number is (918-542-2441) and our historic preservation fax line is (918-542-9915). Belinda Pryor, manages all cell tower consultation. As of 26 June2006, all of the faxed responses of our final comments on a tower site will contain an original Shawnee Tribe signature. Each final comment fax is signed individually. Copies may be compared, for authentication, against the original in our files. If afinal comment fax does not contain a signature, it is not valid. ALL FINAL. COMMENT$ i FROM THE SHAWNEE TRIBE ARE WRITTEN; FINAL COMMENTS ARE NEVER PROVIDED VERBALLY. IF FCC 680 Page 2 of 6 January 2008 Letter to ECS, Ltd. Heather McElvery Date: 04/11/2008 Page 3 THE SHAWNEE TRIBE IS CREDITED WITH HAVING GIVEN A VERBAL RESPONSE, THAT RESPONSE IS NOT VALID. If you receive notification through the TCNS listing the Shawnee Tribe, that is an indication that the Shawnee Tribe is interested in consulting on the tower for which that notification was received. Please consider that our official indication of interest to you. The Shawnee Tribe considers the Tower Construction Notification System's weekly e-mail to be the first notification that we. receive that a tower will be constructed in an area of our concern. We do not view the TCNS notificationas completion of 106 consultation obligations. The Shawnee Tribe has developed streamlined consultation procedures for cell tower developers and their subcontractors. If you do not have a copy of the procedures - most recently updated on 14 January 2008 - please contact us, as you must follow these procedures to consult with us on cell tower projects. Call us at 918-542-2441 orfax us at 918-542-9915. It is the tower builder's responsibility to make sure that you have our most recent consultation procedures. PLEASE DO NOT SEND US INFORMATION, QUERIES, OR COMMENTS ELECTRONICALLY. SINCE 1 DECEMBER 2005, WE HAVE NOT HANDLED ANY CELL TOWER CONSULTATION, INQUIRIES, OR CORRESPONDENCE VIA E-MAIL. 5.

A list of all eligible and potentially eligible National Register of Historic Places sites within one mile of the proposed project area. ; FCC 680 Page 3 of 6 January 2008 Letter to ECS, Ltd.. Heather McElvery Date: 04/11/2008 Page 4 8. If there has been an archaeological survey done in the area, a copy of that report. 9. It is not necessary to send original color photos if you can provide high-resolution color copies. 10. A letter of concurrence from the appropriate State Historic Preservation Office. If you use the FCC Form 620, please do not send Attachments 1 through 6. They are not necessary for our determination. We do not have an interest in projects that require no ground disturbance. The information you provided was also forwarded to the additional Tribes and NHOs listed below. These Tribes and NHOs have NOT set their geographic preferences on TONS, and therefore they are currently receiving tower notifications for the entire United States. For these Tribes and NHOs, you are required to use reasonable and good faith efforts to determine if the Tribe or NHO may attach religious and cultural significance to historic properties that may be affected by its proposed undertaking. Such efforts may include, but are not limited to, seeking information from the relevant SHPO or THPO, Indian Tribes, state agencies, the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, or, where applicable, any federal agency with land holdings within the state (NPA, Section IV.B). If after such reasonable and good faith efforts, you determine that a Tribe or NEO may attach religious and cultural significance to historic properties in the area and the Tribe or NHO does not respond to TCNS notification within a reasonable time, you should make a reasonable effort to follow up, and must seek guidance from the Commission in the event of continued non -response or in the event of a procedural or substantive disagreement. If you determine that the Tribe or NHO is unlikely to attach religious and cultural significance to historic properties within the area, you do not need to take further action unless the Tribe or NHO indicates an interest in the proposed construction or other evidence of potential interest comes to your attention. The information you provided was also forty i,-ded to the following SHPOs in the State in which you propose to construct and neighboring States. The information was provided to these SHPOs as a courtesy for their information and planning. You need make no effort at this time to follow up with any SHPO that does not respond to this notification. Prior to construction, you must provide the SHPO of the State in which you propose to construct (or the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, if the project will be located on certain Tribal lands), with a Submission Packet pursuant to Section VII.A of the NPA. 6.

These exclusions may indicate types of tower notifications that the Tribe, NHO_ or SHPO does not wish to review. TCNS automatically forwards all notifications to all Tribes, NHOs, and SHPOs that have an expressed interest in the geographic area of a proposal, as well as Tribes and NHOs that have not limited their geographic areas of interest. However, if a proposal falls within a designated exclusion, you need not expect any response and need not pursue any additional process with that Tribe, NHO, or SHPO. Exclusions may also set forth policies or procedures of a particular Tribe, NHO, or SHPO (for example, types of information that a Tribe routinely requests, or a policy that no response within 30 days indicates no interest in participating in pre -construction review). If you are proposing to construct a facility in the State of Alaska, you should contact Commission staff for guidance regarding your obligations in the event that Tribes do not respond to this notification within a reasonable time.

The subject site consists is located at 350 Hillandale Lane in Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia. The site consists of a 120 -foot monopole tower with an existing 12 -foot by 18 -foot equipment shed. The existing 120 -foot monopole tower is proposed to be increased 60 -feet to the height of 180 -feet. No new ground disturbance is proposed. An archives search was performed at the Department of Historic Resources Data Share System (DHR- DSS) and on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) information system. Six properties were identified on the DHR-DSS within the Yz mile APE. The Crawford Hillandale House (DHR-DSS 4034-0126, recommended for listing on the NRNP) is located approximately 1,500 feet to the southwest of the subject site, the Village Auto Sales (DHR-DSS #034-0984, not evaluated and razed) is located approximately 2,300 feet to the northwest of the subject site, the Barton -Sprinkle H •,tse (DHR-DSS #034-0981, not evaluated) is located approximately 2,900 feet to the southwest of the subject site, two residential dwellings located on Route 11 (DHR-DSS #034-0982 and #034- 0983, not evaluated and razed) are located approximately 2,500 feet to the northwest of the subject site and the Robert Wilson, Sr. House (DHR-DSS #034-0980, not evaluated) is located approximately 2,500 feet to the northwest of the subject site. No properties or structures were present within the area of potential effect (APE), which were listed on the NRNP. A previous architectural review conducted by Cultural Resources, Inc. (CRI) dated July 23, 2002, indicated that the proposed 120 -foot monopole tower would have no adverse effect on the historical properties in the vicinity of the site. Please refer to the attached U.S.G.S. topographic map, aerial photograph, site photographs, photosimulations, the architectural review, and the previous response from the SHPO indicating that the proposed tower will have an affect on historic properties in the vicinity of the site; however, the affect will not be adverse.

July 23. 2002 Mr. Marc Holma Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2801 Kensington Avenue Richmond, Virginia 23221 JUL 2 5 20t-9 PHR&A RE: Section 106 Review of a Proposed Washington Gas Telecommunications Tower, Winchester, Virginia Dear Mr. Holma: On behalf of our client, Patton, Harris, Rust & Associates, P.C., we are requesting your concurrence with our determination that construction of a proposed telecommunications tower in Winchester, Virginia will not adversely effect properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRNP), Our request is made pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800 /'rotecriofl of Historic Properties, regulations implementing Section c 106 of the National Histori Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended). The proposed tower is a 180 -foot lattice self-support. The proposed project site is located adjacent and behind the existing Shenandoah Gas Building and approximately 450 feet east of Interstate 81 (Figure 1). The tower will be located beside two existing towers, a 112 -foot monopole and a 42 -foot lattice self -support - Area of Potential Effect The Area of potential Effect (APE) is defined as that area where effects to historic properties can reasonably be expected to occur regardless of whether such properties currently exist. For the Purposes of this project, the APE is defined as all areas located within a 1.0 -mile radius of the proposed cell tower site. Situated in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, the terrain surrounding the APE is characterized by rolling hills, with some steeper relief around Hoge Run and Opequon Creek in the southeastern portion of the project area_ The cell tower will be located just east of an industrial area west of Interstate 81. The proposed tower will be located immediately adjacent to an existing 42 -foot lattice tower and a ? l 0400t monopole (Appendix A and Appendix 13)_ The setting of the project area includes a ��-ater tower, an additional cell tower, and an industrial complex (Figure 1). The 200 -foot water tower is approximately %4 mile southwest of the proposed tower. A 200 -foot lattice self-support .101 er is across I-81 adjacent to the industrial site. Three large industrial plants in the vicinity include the Carquest Distribution Plant, General Electric, and Allegheny Power Company.

Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) cultural .resource inventory and survey information was conducted in an effort to identify all previously recorded historic properties listed or eligible for listing; in the National Register within the APE, The results of this research indicated that nineteen architectural resources had been previously recorded within, the APE (Figure 2). A total of thirty-four archaeological resources had been previously recorded either in or immediately adjacent to the proposed facility location (Figure 3). Due to the limited footprint of the proposed tower, construction of the facility is expected to have no effect on archaeological resources. Also, the area of the cell tower has been previously graded for construction of the Shenandoah Gas building and the other two towers, therefore, no additional archaeological investigations are recommended. In addition to the archive check, a windshield survey was conducted of the APE by staff from Cultural Resources, Inc. (CRI). The survey included a visual assessment of the proposed tower site, a windshield survey of all structures 50 years of age or older within APE, and an assessment of potential visual effects to resources 50 years of age or older within the APE. Representative views of the siteiine between the proposed tower site and historic and potentially historic resources within the APE were ai,o photographed. All public roads within the APE were surveyed and photographs were taken from public rights-of-way. All structures identified on the U. S_ G. S. Winchester quadrangle were visually inspected if access was permitted. For those properties where access was restricted, photographs were taken of the property from the closest point in a public right-of-way and views back towards the proposed tower taken from the same point. The results of the windshield survey and the assessment of effects are discussed below. Previously Identified Resources within a One --Mile Radius (;amp Rusvell Historic Dtstncl "HR #034-S036). This historic district includes the Hillandale House and the Camp Russell Earthworks. It extends from Interstate 81 to Hoge Run, more or less due east of the intersection of 1-81 and Route 37. The district is wooded on the eastern Portion with open fields to the west adjacent to the Hillandale House (Figure 4)_ The eastern half of the site has previously been compromised by modern visual impacts, including existing cell towers and the water tank, while the wooded western position of the district is somewhat shielded from these impacts. Given the presence of modern elements already in the viewshed, construction of the proposed structure will not adversely affect those qualities and characteristics that qualify the district for listing on the NRBP-. 2 Hillmulale-Crawford House (VDHR #034-0126). There are three distinct phases of construction/additions to this house (Figure 5)_ The central portion of the house was originally constructed ca 1780-1800. It is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side -gable house constructed of coursed limestone, with a full facade 1 -story front porch and an interior end chimney_ The second phase of construction (ca 1875-1890) added what is now the main facade of the house. This section of the house is 2 -story random limestone. It is a 3 -bay side -gable structure with central front gable, two central brick chimneys, and a partial 1 -story porch with Doric columns. The third phase of construction (ca 1910-1930) added the 2 -story, gable frame addition with weatherboard siding on a split-level stone basement. The roof over the entire structure is pressed tin shingles. There are several outbuildings associated with this structure. These buildings include a stone spnnghouse, a possible log or frame meathouse, several frame sheds, a frame barn, carriage house, machine shed, frame bank barn with stave silo, and a frame tenant house about % mile northwest of the main house. Hillandale has been determined potentially eligible for the listing on the NR1-IP. The outbuildings, nearby tenant house and historic district, and general setting on the landscape are contributing factors to the eligibility of this structure. The view toward the proposed cell tower overlooks the tenant house and the current towers are visible in the distance (Figure 6). Since this view has already been altered by modem intrusions, the additional proposed cell tower will have no adverse effect on the eligibility of the Hillandale House to the NRI P. Camp Russe&Hz11,wzda1e Earthworks (034-0321). The Hillandale Farthworks are located about 2000 feet northeast of Cary's Brook (034-0319). These earthworks are associated with the Union occupation of this area of the Shenandoah Valley during the fall of 1864 and are considered eligible for listing on the NRNP in the area of military history_ The earthworks are \A111thin a predominantly wooded area and somewhat shielded from view of the proposed cell tower due to the fact that they are situated on a lower elevation (see Figure 3). The view towards the west has been compromised by extant cell towers and the water tower. Therefore, the proposed cell tower would not adversely affect those qualities that make the earthworks eligible for the NRHP, House (VDHR ;;-r034-00,21). This house is a Federal style building dating to ca. 1840. it is a 5 - bay, 2 -story brick structure with a stone foundation, side gable, and an interior end chimney (Figure 7). The roof is standing seam metal. Windows are 6/6 on the first floor, but 9/6 on the second floor and the main door has a 4 -fight transom. There is a 1 -story asymmetrical 3 bay addition to the east of the main structure. ' I This house is potentially eligible for listing on the NR11P under Criterion C as an example of Federal architectural style. The natural setting of this property has been severely altered as it is surrounded by 1970s era apartment buildings. lin addition, the view towards the cell tower, while Carnally obscured by vegetation, is dominated by telephone utility lines (Figure 8). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect those qualities or characteristics that may qualify the property for listing in the NPI'. Cary's Brook (YDHR #034-0319). This structure was in very poor condition when it was recorded and the several surrounding associated outbuildings already existed in a ruinous condition. CRI staff inspected the landform identified as the location of the house and found nothing but an overgrown area of tall grass and weeds (Figure 9). It appears that this house is no longer standing and therefore the proposed cell tower will have no effect on this resource. Care's Brook Reboubt (034-0320). This Civil War redoubt is located 200 feet northwest of Cary's Brook. It is associated with the Urdon troop activity in the area during the fall of 1864. After General Sheridan secured this portion of the Shenandoah Valley in 1864, Union forces occupied it. The redoubt is potentially eligible for listing on the NRHI' for its association with an historic event. The current cell towers are not visible from this property because of the vegetation and the lower elevation of the earthwork (see Figure 9). The water tower just to the southwest, however, is visible from the western potion of the site (Figure 10). The proposed cell toyer will not adversely affect those qualities that make the earthwork potentially eligible for the NRf]P. Salwge-S'eal House, .3172 Valley Pike (YDHR #034-972). This structure is a vernacular 2 -story, -bay, side -gable, frame structure on a limestone foundation with a low basement, and an ell addition off the back (west elevation) of the house (Figure 11). The house dates to ca. 1890 to 1910, with additions dating to the 1940s. It has weatherboard siding, a standing seam metal roof; and twin exterior end chimneys and one central chimney on the ell. Additions include an enclosed shed roof porch on the south side of house, and a i -story shed roof addition of the west side. There is only one outbuilding a 1 -story frame garage with aluminum siding. Other features include 2/2 sash windows, wood shutters and return cornice and frieze boards. This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP as an example of vernacular architecture. The natural setting of this structure has been completely altered, as it stands near a major intersection adjacent to a 7-11 convenience store. Commercial and residential structures and vegetation obstruct the view towards the proposed cell tower (Figure 12). This typical weatherboard I -house retains its original fabric; however, given the existing modern visual intrusions, construction of the proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure's potential eligibility for the NRNP. Lantz House (VDHR 034-0974). This frame structure is a 2% -story, 3 bay,hi pped of Colonial Revival (ca_ 1905-1920) style house (Figure 13). It has a lowered basements andthefoundation is not visible. The roof is slate with two hipped dormers Only a fraction of the original fabric of the house appears to remain. 1 Vegetation and commercial structures obstruct and already modernized view, toward the proposed cell tower (Figure 14). Due to the extensive remolding of the house, it does not annea_r to r e'aain any of the characteristics that would make it potentially eligible for the NRI�and therefore, the proposed cell tower would have no affect on this structure. House, Valley Pike (VDHIZ # 034-0975). This is a I V2 -story, front gable, frame vernacular style house with a lowered stone basement, weatherboard siding, and standing seam metal roof (Figure 15). The roof has central gables on the north and south sides of the house and paired 6/1 windows in the gable ends. The front porch is a 1 -story Colonial Revival style with Tuscan columns on brick piers. This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NR11P as an example of vernacular architecture. The view towards the proposed cell tower is partially obscured by other residential and commercial buildings as well as by vegetation {Figure 16). With the commercial development in the area and industrialization of the Route 11, the proposed cell tower will not adversely affect the natural setting of this vernacular structure. House. 3289 Valley Pike (VDHR #034-0976). This house has been converted to a commercial business. The original portion is built on a stone foundation with low basement (Figure 17). The house is a frame construction with composition siding and 3 -bay Tont facade with 6/6 paired windows. The room is standing seam metal with a side gable_ There is an exterior end chimney that has become an interior chimney with construction of two one-story additions built on concrete block foundations in the 1950s. This structure has been significantly remodeled, altering the characteristics that made it potentially eligible for listing on the NRHP. Industrial businesses and vegetation partially obscure the view towards the proposed cell tower site (Figure 18). The proposed cell tower will have no affect on this structure. House, Route 11 (VDHR #034-0977). This house is a 2%z -story American Four Square (ca. 1910- 1930) style with its original fabric (Figure 19). The house is built on a concrete foundation with a low basement. It has a frame construction with stretcher bond brick veneer and 3 -bay front facade with 3/1 windows with flat arches. The roof is standing seam metal, pyramidal hipped roof with one hipped dormer on the front fagade and an interior chimney_ Porches adorn the east and west elevations of the house. The front fagade (east elevation) has a 1 -story full facade Craftsman style porch with wooden battered columns on brick piers. The west elevation has a two-story porch, with the first story enclosed. This structure was considered eligible for listing on the NRNP as an example of an ,American Four Square, while several other examples are nearby, this structure appears to retain most of its original materials. Several frame outbuildings associated with this house, including a chicken coop, garage, and meathouse were standing in 1990 but have since been razed. The natural setting of this resource has been considerably altered by the commercial development along Route l I. Industrial and commercial businesses partially obscure the view 5 towards the propo&ed cell tower site aril modern intrusions dominate the landscape (Figure 20). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure. House, 3328 Valley Pike (VDHR #034-0978). This is a large Folk Victorian house made of concrete block (Figure 21). It is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side gable structure with a, complex floor plan and several cross gables and central gable in the front (west facade)_ The roof is standing seam metal with a boxed cornice with a laurel motif in the cornice. There is a central flue. The windows are 1/1 and concrete lintels, some paired. The primary porch is a 1 -story, enclosed wrap around. There are also enclosed side, 2 -story porches. On the back of the house, there is a I -story wing addition. While this structure was at one time potentially eligible for the NRNP, it has seen multiple modifications and additions and is in disrepair_ The natural setting is comprised of commercial businesses and would have no bearing on its eligibility for listing. The view from this structure towards the proposed cell tower is dominated bycommercial development, with and existing cell tower visible in the background. (Figure 22). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure. House, 3400 Valley Pike (VDHR #034-0979). This house has been converted into a commercial business. The house is a 2!/2 -story, 2 -bay, American Four Square (ca 1920-19401 with a hipped, pyramidal roof (Figure 23). The foundation is covered by stucco, but the building appears to be a wood frame structure with an enclosed porch on the west elevation. The roof is asphalt shingles (replaced) with a hipped dormer on the west elevation and with boxed cornice. The windows are 1/1 and there are two interior flues. There is an enclosed 2 -story porch on the east elevation (rear) that was added to the house_ This structure has been significantly remodeled, altering the characteristics that made it potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP. Industrial and commercial businesses dominate the immediate landscape and an existing cell towel- is clearly visible in the distance (Figure 24). The proposed cell tower will have no effect on this structure. Robert Wilson Sr. House (kDHR #034-0980). This house contains what is believed to be the site of the early settler, Robert Wilson. The rear portion of the house is log and dates to ca. 1800 to 1810 Overall, the house is a vernacular I -House with the earlier portion forming an ell of the east elevation. The house sits on a stone foundation with a split-level basement (Figure 25). The log portion is 2 -story with an enclosed porch and is shorter than the main portion of the house. The main or front portion of the house is a side -gable, 2 -story, 3 -bay 1 -house with one interior end chimney and standing seam metal roof. There is a I -story full-fapade porch on the west facade of the I. -House, with chamfered columns and sawn brackets_ The windows are mostly 6/6 with some newer 8/8 and there is a three -light transom over the front door. There are many farm -related outbuildings around the house, including a large frame gambrel -roofed banl-, barn with attached corn crib, several machine sheds, chicken coops, and pig pens. This structure is Potentially eligible for listing on the NRHP due to its association with early settlement in the I area. The natural setting, with various outbuildings, mature trees and nearby spring, added to its simificance when originally recorded in 1990. This house currently sits immediately adjacent to an industrial center. The view towards the proposed cell tower includes a large Carquest Autoparts Distribution Center and other industrial buildings (Figure 26)_ Since this view has already been altered by modern intrusions, the additional proposed cell tower will have no adverse effect on the eligibility of the Wilson House to the National Register. Barton -Sprinkle House (VDHR #034-0981)_ This house once stood near the intersection of Route 11 and Route 37, and was moved to its present location around 1970. The house sits on a new concrete block foundation and has a low basement under the main house and a split-level basement under a rear 1 -story addition (Figure 27). The house is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side gable structure with a one-story porch on main elevation (south) and an enclosed 2 -story porch on the north side of the house, with the 1 -story addition, Other elements include 616 windows, two interior end flues, 3 -light sidelights and a broken transom about the door. Since this house was moved from its original setting, the immediate surroundings would not have bearing on its eligibility for listing on the NRNP. The house sits in a small subdivision surrounded by 1960s and 1970s ramblers, The view towards the proposed cell tower includes a motel and the Carquest Auto Parts Distribution Center (Figure 28). Construction of the proposed Cell tower, therefore, will not effect this resource. House, Route 11 (VDHR #034-0982). This house has been demolished and is, therefore, not eligible for listingN on the RNP. Construction of the proposed cell tower will have no effect. House. Route 11 (W)HR #034-0983). This house has been demolished and is; therefore_, not eligible for listing on the NRNP. Construction of the proposed cell tower will have no effect. Tillage Auto Sales 0179HR 4034-0984). The Carquest Auto Parts Distribution Center currently occupies the site. This house has been demolished and is not eligible for listing on the NRHP. Construction of the proposed cell tower, therefore, will not effect this resource. House, Route 11 (VDHR :#034-0985). The house is a 2 -story, 2 bay, cross gable structure with a pressed tin metal roof. It is in the vernacular style dating to ca. 1880-1910 and has a 1 -story porch with turned spindles on the main elevation (Figure 29). Other elements include 2/2 \ indows (some paired), boxed cornice, and a central flue. This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the 1\!U -1P as an example of an early 20th century frame barn. The natural setting of LI -LIS property has been commercialized as a retail nursery. 7 The view towards the proposed cell tower consists of Interstate IIl, a water tower and commercial businesses (Figure 30). The proposed cell tower Will not adversely a#Tect those dualities or characteristics that may qualify the property for listing on the NRNP_ Russell House 42 (VDHR #034-1191)- This house is a vernacular side passage dating to ca. 1870-1910 (Figure 31)_ The house is a 2 S -story, 2 -bay, side gable with central front gable on a stone foundation with a low basement. The house is clad in stucco and has a standing seam metal roof. The porch off the north farra.de is a full -facade i -story porch with turned supports, hipped roof; and plain friezeboard. Other elements include 2/2 windows (some paired), 1/1 window in central front gable, boxed cornice, and interior brick flue. Thereis a rear 2 -story gabled wing on a stone foundation with 2/2 and 311 windows. A later addition to the south elevation of the house is a I -story enclosed porch with German lap siding. There are several outbuildings associated with this house, including a concrete shed, several frame sheds, chicken coop, concrete silo, concrete garage, and a trailer home. This house is potentially eligible for listing on the NRBP as an example of vernacular architecture. The immediate setting with the exception of a few modern structures, is overall a fairly pristine environment, which contributes to the resource's significance_ The view towards the cell tower is relatively unobstructed but with the existing cell towers visible in the distance (Figure 32). In addition, Interstate 81 contributes some visual impact, as it ,s located approximately 500 feet west of the house. Although construction of the proposed tower will introduce a new visual element into the viewshed of this ,'Iructure, it will not adversely affect those qualities or characteristics that may qualify the property for listing on the TRI -1P. Russell House #1 (VDHR 9034-1192). This house is a vernacular American Four Square (ca. 1910-1930) on a stone foundation with a low basement (Figure 33). The house is a 2V2 -story, 2_ bay, frame structure with new vinyl siding. The roof is a standing seam metal, hipped roof with one hipped dormer on the north (northeast) facade and two interior brick flues. The porch on the north facade is full-fagade with a concrete pad, turned spindles, wrought iron balustrade, plain friezeboard, and a hipped roof The 2 -story enclosed porch on the south elevation is newer with an exterior concrete flue. Several outbuildings around the house include a gambrel -roofed concrete block barn, several machine sheds, a concrete silo, metal silos, and a trailer horne. This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP as an example of Vernacular American Four Square..4s with Russell House #2, the immediate setting, with some modern structures, is overall a fairly pristine environment, contributing to the resource's significance. The view towards the proposed cell tower includes the existing monopole tower and Interstate 8 i the 1 34). The house sits about 1000 feet east of the interstate with little vegetation shielding the viewshed. As such, the proposed cell tower will not adversely affect the natural setting of this house. Steele -Clark House (TDHR #034-1339). This house is a hall -parlor I -House with some Folk Victorian elements on the porch (Figure 35). The house dates to ca. 1870. It is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side gable structure with twin interior -end brick chimneys_ it is a wood frame structure with asphalt shingle sidings and sits on a stone foundation_ The windows are 6/6 on the first floor and 2/2 on the second floor. The porch is nearly a full-fagade, hipped roof ]-story porch with four Posts (or columns) with side -brackets. There is also a meathouse outbuilding and a concrete modern garage. The house retains most of its natural setting and is potentially eligible for listing on the NRIHT as an example of Folk Victorian style. The view towards the proposed cell tower is obstructed by vegetation (Figure 36). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect the natural setting of the house. Resources Recorded During the Current Survey Lewin -fount Company -3167 Valley Pike. This structure is a mid -twentieth century concrete block building with porch across the front facade (Figure 3 7)_ The building was standing around 1948, according to the present owner, Philip Yount, who remembers it as a Civil War Museum during that time. The building later was used as a "day-old" bread store in the 1960s. The Present owner purchased and renovated the building in 1980-81, and opened the current business. There is a 2 -year old metal frame garage north of the main building. The main building is a concrete block, 3 -bay, front -gable structure. There is an interior brick flue towards the rear of the building, and the roofing material was replaced in the 1980s renovation of the building, currently asphalt shingles. The front porch columns were purchased in 1980 and replaced the original square posts. All the windows and doors were replaced, except for the door on the east elevation. The windows on the north and south elevations were cut out during the 1980 renovations. Views toward the proposed cell tower are obstructed by other buildings and tree growth (Figwe Due to the extensive renovation and lack of significant architectural style, this structure is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRNP. Therefore, the proposed cell tower construction would not effect this structure. Erie In-vurance Group Building -3186 Valley Pike. This structure is a mid -twentieth century 2 '/s - story house with a low basement with several additions (Figure 39). The original portion of the house is a 3-ba_v with a partially enclosed central portico, two dormers on the main elevation and one shed dormer on the west (rear) elevation, and an exterior end chimney. There are additions to the west and to the south. The two additions to the south are less than 10 years old. Constructed on a cinder block foundation, this frame structure has gabled dormers and 6/6 windows. This structure is located just to the south of 034-0972, Views toward the proposed cell tower are characterized by residentiaUcommercial buildings and trees, which obscure the view of the proposed facility from the property (Figure 40). The Erie Insurance Group building is recommended not eligible for listing on the NR . Therefore, the construction of the proposed cell tower would not effect this structure. Haase, 3222 Valley Pike This structure appears to have a brick veneer that may be covering an older frame structure. The house is a side -gable, 2 -story, 3 bay struc#uze with a low basement {Figure 41). The foundation, if not brick, is obscured by the brick veneer. There are 8/8 windows on the first floor and 6/6 windows on the second and wooden shutters only on the main ta�ade of the house_ There is a brick exterior -end chimney and a shed roof porch with two posts on brick piers on the north elevation and an enclosed frame shed roof porch that has been covered in brick veneer on the west elevation. There are entry doors on all four elevations_ The roof is asphalt shingles. The brick all looks very new, but the windows and other elements appear older, including a broken triangular pediment door surround. The brick veneer was visible behind the door pediment. This structure has been significantly remodeled and, therefore, it is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRHp. The view towards the proposed cell tower is partially obscured by trees and other structures (Figure 42). Visible from this structure are some of the industrial plants located on the east side of Route 11 _ The house is surrounded by mature trees and has houses in close proximity to the north and south. Therefore, the proposed cell tower would not have an ef%ct on this structure. House, 3256 Valley Pike. This structure is situated behind a 1960-1970s structure. The structure is a 1'/a story concrete block -house with 3 -bay, front -gable with weatherboard siding in the gables (Figure 43). The windows are 6/6 and there is a central brick flue. The roof is standing sewn metal. There are two porches on the main (east fagade) and west elevations. The main elevation porch is a four -post, full-fagade, shed roof porch. The west elevation has a full -facade, shed roof porch that has been enclosed. This structure is recommended not eligible for listing on the'`TRHP as it is a common standing structure in the vicinity with no distinctive characteristics. Trees and other structures obscure the view towards the proposed cell tower (Figure 44). Therefore, the proposed cell tower would have no effect on this structure. House, 3-504 Valley Pike_ This Bungalow -type structure is on a concrete block foundation with wood frame structural system (Figure 45). The house is P/2 -story, front gable, 2 -bay (door and a double window) structure with a possible low basementor crawl space. The house appears to be ca. 193 e exterior is weatherboard siding. There is a centra 0-5. The windows are 6/6 and thl brick flue and a single gable dormer on the south elevation. There is a full-fagade porch with posts on brick piers on the main (east facade) elevation. Associated with this house are two shed outbuildings (ca 1960s) and another cinder block, shed roof building used as a business (ca 1960s). This structure has been significantly remodeled, and, therefore, it is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRHI'. 10 The nronose-d cell tower would be in plain v e_v,,, of this stractur e,bu therz is ariutiier ceii tower associated with the Allegheny Po-wer Plant building, directly across the street from this house (Figure 4.6). Construction of the proposed tower, therefore, would have no effect this structure. BUSI17ess, 3908 Valley Pike. This is a P/2 -story, 2 -bay, side gable, cinder block structure with a low basement (Figure 47). The main elevation (east fagade) has a door and bay window. On the west elevation there is a 1 -story shed roof addition, The roof is asphalt shingles and there is an interior brick flue. There are two concrete block gable sheds in the rear of the building. This structure has been significantly remodeled, and, therefore, it is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRi3P_ The view towards the proposed cell tower is partially obscured by vegetation (Figure 48). The proposed cell tower would have no effect on this structure. Conclusions and Recommendations Construction of the proposed telecommunications cell tower at the Shenandoah Gas Company building will introduce a new visual element into the viewshed of properties 50 years of age or older within the APE that are either listed on or considered eligible for listing on the NRNP. However, based upon the results of the windshield survey and assessment of effects, it is Patton, Hams, bust & Associates' opinion that in accordance with 36 CFR §800.5(b), construction of the proposed 180 -foot tower will not diminish the characteristics that would qualify those properties within the APE for listing on the NRNP.

The subject site consists is located at 350 Hillandale Lane in Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia. The site consists of a 120 -foot monopole tower with an existing 12 -foot by 18 -foot equipment shed. The existing 120-f6ot monopole tower is proposed to be increased 60 -feet to the height of 180 -feet. No new ground disturbance is proposed. An archives search was performed at the Department of Historic Resources Data Share System (DHR-DSS) and on the National Register of Historic Places (NR -HP) information system. Six properties were identified on the DHR-DSS within the 112 mile APE. The Crawford Hillandale House (DHR-DSS #034-0126, recommended for listing on the NRNP) is located approximately 1,500 feet to the southwest of the subject site, the Village Auto Sales (DHR-DSS .#034- 0984, not evaluated and razed) is located approximately 2,300 feet to the northwest of the subject site, the Barton -Sprinkle House (DHR-DSS #034-0981, not evaluated) is located approximately 2,900 feet to the southwest of the subject site, two residential dwellings located on Route I 1 ("DHR-DSS #034-0982 and #034-0983, not evaluated and razed) are located approximately 2,500 feet to the northwest of the subject site and the Robert Wilson, Sr. House (DHR-DSS #034-0980, not evaluated) is located approximately 2,500 feet to the northwest of the subject site. No properties or structures were present within the area of potential effect (APE), which were listed on the NRNP. A previous Archeological Review conducted by Cultural Resources, Inc. (CRI) dated July 23, 2002, indicated that the proposed 120 -foot monopole tower would have no adverse effect on the historical properties in the vicinity of the site. Please refer to the attached U.S.G.S. topographic map, aerial photograph, site photographs, photosimulations, the architectural review, and the previous response from the SHPO indicating that the proposed tower will have an affect on historic properties in the vicinity of the site; however, the affect will not be adverse. We ask for concurrence that this proposed tower extension will not impact potential or known tribal Iands. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at 540-362-2000.

Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2801 Kensington Avenue Richmond, Virginia 23221 JLIL 2 5 2002 PHRi A RE: Section 106 Review of a Proposed Washington Gas Telecommunications Tower, Winchester, Virginia Dear Mr. Hotma: On behalf of our client, Patton, Harris, Rust & Associates, P.C., we are requesting your concurrence with our determination that construction of a prope.ed telecommunications tower in %Vinchester, Virginia ;f. -ill not adversely effect properties listed or eligible for listing on the 1 ational Register of Historic Places (NRNP), Our request is made pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800_ Protection of Historic Properties, regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended). The proposed tower is a 180 -foot lattice self-support. The proposed project site is located adjacent and behind the existing Shenandoah Gas Building and approximately 450 feet east of Interstate 81 (Figure 1). The tower will be located beside two existing towers, a 112 -foot monopole and a 42 -foot lattice self -support - Area of Potential Etrect The Area of Potential Effect (APE) is defined as that area where effects to historic properties can reasonably be expected to occur regardless of whether such properties currently exist- For the purposes of this project, the APE is defined as all areas located within a 1.0 -mile radius of the proposed cell tower site. Situated in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, the terrain surrounding the APE is characterized by rolling hills, with some steeper relief around Hoge Run and Opequon Creek in the southeastern portion of the project area- The cell tower will be located just east of an industrial area west of Interstate 81. The proposed tower will be located immediately adjacent to an existing 42 -foot lattice tower and a i 104001 monopole (Appendix A and Appendix B). The setting of the project area includes a �-ater tower, an additional cell tower, and an industrial complex (Figure 1). The 200 -foot water tol er is approximately 3/4 mile southwest of the proposed tower. A 200 -foot lattice self-support tower is across I-81 adjacent to the industrial site. Three large industrial plants in the vicinity include the Carquest Distribution Plant, General Electric, and Allegheny Power Company.

The results of this research indicated that nineteen architectural resources had been previously recorded within the APE (Figure 2). A total of thirty-four archaeological resources had been previously recorded either in or immediately adjacent to the proposed facility location (Figure 3). Due to the limited footprint of the proposed tower, construction of the facility is expected to have no effect on archaeological resources. Also, the area of the cell tower has been previously graded for construction of the Shenandoah Gas building and the other two towers, therefore, no additional archaeological investigations are recommended. In addition to the ai-chive check, a windshield survey was conducted of the APE by staff from Cultural Resources, Inc. (CRI). The survey included a visual assessment of the proposed tower site, a windshield survey of all structures 50 years of age or older within APE, and an assessment of potential visual effects to resources 50 years of age or older within the APE. Representative views of the siteline between the proposed tower site and historic and potentially historic resources within the APE were also photographed. All public roads within the APE were surveyed and photographs were taken from public rights-of-way. All structures identified on the U.S.G_S. Winchester quadrangle were visually inspected if access was permitted_ For those properties where access was restricted, photographs were taken of the property from the closest point in a public right-of-way and views back towards the proposed tower taken from the same point. The results of the windshield survey and the assessment of effects are discussed below. Previously Identified Resources within a One -Mile Radius (:amp Rl«yell Historic District "HR #034-S036). This historic district includes the Hillandale House and the Camp Russell Earthworks. It extends from Interstate 81 to Hoge Run, more or less due east of the intersection of I-81 and Route 37. The district is wooded on the eastern portion with open fields to the west adjacent to the Hillandale House (Figure 4). The eastern half of the site has previously been compromised by modern visual impacts, including existing cell towers and the water tank, while the wooded western position of the district is somewhat shielded from these impacts_ Given the presence of modern elements already in the viewshed, construction of the proposed structure will not adversely affect those qualities and characteristics that qualify the district for listing on the NRBI''_ 2 Hillarulale-Crawford Rause (VDHR #034-0126). There are three distinct phases of construction/additions to this house (Figure 5). The central portion of the house was originally constructed ca 1780-1800. It is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side -gable house constructed of coursed limestone, with a full fagade 1 -story front porch and an interior end chimney. The second phase of construction (ca 1875-1890) added what is now the main fagade of the house. This section of the house is 2 -story random limestone. It is a 3 -bay side -gable structure with central front gable, two central brick chimneys, and a partial 1 -story porch with Doric columns. The third phase of construction (ca 1910-1930) added the 2 -story, gable frame addition with weatherboard siding on a split-level stone basement. The roof over the entire structure is pressed tin shingles. There are several outbuildings associated with this structure. These buildings include a stone spring -house, a possible log or frame meathouse, several frame sheds, a frame barn, carriage house, machine shed, frame bank barn with stave silo, and a frame tenant house about % mile northwest of the main house. Hillandale has been determined potentially eligible for the listing on the NRHR The outbuildings, nearby tenant house and historic district, and general setting on the landscape are contributing factors to the eligibility of this structure. The view toward the proposed cell tower overlooks the tenant house and the current towers are visible in the distance (Figure 6). Since this view has already been altered by modern intrusions, the additional proposed cell tower will have no adverse effect on the eligibility of the Hillandale House to the NRNP. Camp RusselkHillazzdale Earthworks (034-0321). The Hillandale Earthworks are located about 2000 feet northeast of Cary's Brook (034-0319). These earthworks are associated with the Union occupation of this area of the Shenandoah Valley during the fall of 1864 and are considered eligible for listing on the NRNP in the area of military history. The earthworks are within a predominantly wooded area and somewhat shielded from view of the proposed cell tower due to the fact that they are situated on a lower elevation (see Figure 3). The view towards the west has been compromised by extant cell towers and the water tower. Therefore, the proposed cell tower would not adversely affect those qualities that make the earthworks eligible for the NRNP. House (I,DHR ;7034-0021). This house is a Federal style building dating to ca. 1840. it is a 5 - bay, 2 -story brick structure with a stone foundation, side gable, and an interior end chimney (Figure 7). The roof is standing seam metal. Windows are 6/6 on the fust floor, but 9/6 on the second floor and the main door has a 4 -light transom_ There is a I -story asymmetrical 3 bay addition to the east of the main structure. This house is potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP under Criterion C as an example of Federal architectural style. The natural setting of this property has been severely altered as it is surrounded by 1970s era apartment buildings. In addition, the view towards the cell tower, while partially obscured by vegetation, is dominated by telephone utility lines (Figure 8). The proposed cell tower wilt not adversely affect those qualities or characteristics Chat may qualify the property for listing in the NRNP. Cory's Brook (VDIIR #034-0319). This structure was in very poor condition when it was recorded and the several surrounding associated outbuildings already existed in a ruinous condition. CRI staff inspected the landfoi-rn identified as the location of the house and found nothing but an overgrown area of tall grass and weeds (Figure 9). It appears that this house is no longer standing and therefore the proposed cell tower will have no effect on this resource. Carv's Brook Reboubt (034-0320). This Civil War redoubt is located 200 feet northwest of Cary's Brook. It is associated with the Union troop activity in the area during the fall of 1864. After General Sheridan secured this portion of the Shenandoah Valley in 1864, Union forces occupied it. The redoubt is potentially eligible for listing on the NRF1P for its association with an historic event. The current cell towers are not visible from this property because of the vegetation and the lower elevation of the earthwork (see Figure 9). The water tower just to the southwest, however, is visible from the western potion of the site (Figure 10). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect those qualities that make the earthwork potentially eligible for the NRI -1P. Savage -Seal House, 3172 Valley Pike (VDHR #034-972). This structure is a vernacular 2 -story, -bay, side -gable, frame structure on a limestone foundation with a low basement, and an ell addition off the back (west elevation) of the house (Figure 11). The house dates to ca. 1890 to 1910, with additions dating to the 1940s. It has weatherboard siding, a standing scam metal roof, and twin exterior end chimneys and one central chimney on the ell. Additions include an enclosed shed roof porch on the south side of house, and a 1 -story shed roof addition of the west side. There is only one outbuilding, a 1 -story frame garage with aluminum siding. Other features include 2/2 sash windows, wood shutters and return cornice and frieze boards. This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP as an example of vernacular architecture. The natural setting of this structure has been completely altered, as it stands near a major intersection adjacent to a 7-11 convenience store. Commercial and residential structures and vegetation obstruct the view towards the proposed cell tower (Figure 12). This typical weatherboard I -house retains its original fabric; however, given the existing modern visual intrusions, construction of the proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure's potential eligibility for the 1VRHP. Ltvirz House (VDHR u034-0974). This frame structure is a 21/2 -story, 3 bay, hipped roof, Colonial Revival (ca. 1905-1920) style house (Figure 13). It has a lowered basement and the foundation is not visible_ The roof is slate with two hipped downers. Only a fraction of the original fabric of the house appears to remain. 4 Vegetation and commercial structures obstruct and already moderrazed view toward the proposed cell tower (Figure 14). Due to the extensive remolding of the house, it does not appear to retain any of the characteristics that would make it potentially eligible for the NRET and, therefore, the proposed cell tower would have no affect on this structure. House, Dalley Pile (VDHR #034-4975). This is a I %-Ston;, front gable, frame vernacular style house with a lowered stone basement, weatherboard siding, and standing seam metal roof (Figure 15).

The west elevation has a two-story porch, with the first story enclosed. This structure was considered eligible for listing on the NRIIP as an example of an American Four Square, while several other examples are nearby, this structure appears to retain most of its original materials. Several frame outbuildings associated with this house, including a chicken coop, garage, and meathouse were standing in 1990 but have since been razed. The natural setting of this resource has been considerably altered by the commercial development along Route 11. Industrial and commercial businesses partially obscure the view 5 towards the proposed cell tower site and modern intrusions dominate the landscape (Figure 20). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure. House, 3328 Valley Pike (VDHR #.034-0978). This is a large Folk Victorian house made of concrete block (Figure 21).

There are many farm -related outbuildings around the house, including a large frame gambrel -roofed bank barn with attached corn crib, several machine sheds, chicken coops, and pig pens. This structure is Potentially eligible for listing on the NPJ-fP due to its association with early settlement in the 31 area. The natural setting, with various outbuildings, mature trees and nearby spring, added to its siouficance when originally recorded in 1990. This house currently sits immediately adjacent to an industrial center. The view towards the proposed cell tower includes a large Carquest Autoparts Distribution Center and other industrial buildings (Figure 26). Since this view has already been altered by modern intrusions, the additional proposed cell tower will have no adverse effect on the eligibility of the Wilson House to the National Register.

Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2801 Kensington Avenue Richmond, Virginia 23221 M JUL 2 5 2002 PHRA RE: Section 106 Review of a Proposed Washington Cas Telecommunications Tower, Winchester, Virginia Dear Mr. Holma: On behalf of our client, Patton, Has, Rust & Associates, P.C., we are requesting your concurrence wirri th our determination that construction of a proposed telecommunications tower in Winchester, Virginia will not adversely effect properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRNP). Our request is made pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800 /'rotCctiiilJ of Historic Properties, regulations implementing Section ] Ob of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended). The proposed tower is a 180 -foot lattice self-support. The proposed project site is located adjacent and behind the existing Shenandoah Gas Building and approximately 450 feet east of Interstate 81 (Figure 1). The tower will be located beside two existing towers, a 112 -foot monopole and a 42 -foot lattice self-support. Area of Potential Effect The Area of Potential Effect (APE) is defined as that area where effects to historic properties can reasonably be expected to occur regardless of whether such properties currently exist. For the Purposes of this project, the APE is defined as all areas located within a 1.0 -mile radius of the proposed cell tower site. Situated in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, the terrain surrounding the APE is characterized by rolling hills, with some steeper relief around Hoge Run and Opequon Creek in the southeastern portion of the project area. The cell tower will be located just east of an industrial area west of Interstate 81. The proposed tower will be located immediately adjacent to an existing 42 -foot lattice tower and a 1 10 -foot monopole (Appendix A and Appendix B). The setting of the project area includes a u-ater tower, an additional cell tower, and an industrial complex (Figure 1). The 200 -foot water toN er is approximately 3/4 mile southwest of the proposed tower. A 200 -foot lattice self-support toter is across I-81 adjacent to the industrial site. Three large industrial plants in the vicinity include the Carquest Distribution Plant, General Electric, and Allegheny Power Companv.

Identification of Historic Properties and Assessment of Effects A review of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) cultural resource inventory and survey information was conducted in an effort to identify all previously recorded historic properties listed or eligible for listing in the National Register within the APE. The results of this research indicated that nineteen architectural resources had been previously recorded within the APE (Figure 2). A total of thirty-four archaeological resources had been previously recorded either in or immediately adjacent to the proposed facility location (Figure 3). Due to the limited footprint of the proposed tower, construction of the facility is expected to have no effect on archaeological resources. Also, the area of the cell tower has been previously graded for construction of the Shenandoah Gas building and the other two towers, therefore, no additional archaeological investigations are recommended. In addition to the archive check, a windshield survey was conducted of the APE by staff from Cultural Resources; Inc. (CRI). The survey included a visual assessment of the proposed tower site, a windshield survey of all structures 50 years of age or older within APE, and an assessment of potential visual effects to resources 50 years of age or older within the APE. Representative views of the siteline between the proposed tower site and historic and potentially historic resources within the <%PE were also photographed. All public roads within the APE were surveyed and photographs were taken from public rights-of-way. All structures identified on the U.S-G-S. Winchester quadrangle were visually inspected if access was permitted_ For those Properties where access was restricted, photographs were taken of the property from the closest point in a public right-of-way and views back towards the proposed tower taken from the same point. The results of the windshield survey and the assessment of effects are discussed below. Previously identified Resources within a One -Mile Radius Camp Russell Historic District "HR #034-5036). This historic district includes the Hillandale House and the Camp Russell Earthworks. It extends from Interstate 81 to Hoge Run, more or less due east of the intersection of I-81 and Route 37. The district is wooded on the eastern portion with open fields to the west adjacent to the Hillandale House (Figure 4). The eastern half of the site has previously been compromised by modern visual impacts, including existing cell towers and the water tank, while the wooded western position of the district is somewhat shielded from these impacts_ Given the presence of modern elements already in the viewshed, construction of the proposed structure will not adversely a$ect those qualities and characteristics that qualify the district for listing on the NRNP. 2 Hillandule-Craw ord House (YDHR #034-0126). There are three distinct phases of construction/additions to this house (Figure 5). The central portion of the house was originally constructed ca 1780-1800. It is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side -gable house constructed of coursed limestone, with a full facade 1 -story front porch and an interior end chimney. The second phase of construction (ca 1875-1Y90) added what is now the main facade of the house. This section of the house is 2. -story random limestone. It is a 3 -bay side -gable structure with central front gable, two central brick chimneys, and a partial 1 -story porch with Doric columns. The third phase of construction (ca 1910-1930) added the 2 -story, gable frame addition with weatherboard siding on a split-level stone basement. The roof over the entire structure is pressed tin shingles. There are several outbuildings associated with this structure. These buildings include a stone springhouse, a possible log or frame meathouse, several frame sheds, a frame barn, carriage house, machine shed, frame bank barn with stave silo, and a frame tenant house about % mile northwest of the main house. Hillandale has been determined potentially eligible for the listing on the NRNP. The outbuildings, nearby tenant house and historic district, and general setting on the landscape are contributing factors to the eligibility of this structure. The view toward the proposed cell tower overlooks the tenant house and the current towers are visible in the distance (Figure 6). Since this view has already been altered by modem intrusions, the additional proposed cell tower will have no adverse effect on the eligibility of the Mandale House to the NRNP. Camp RusselbMIlandale Earthworks (034-0321). The Hillandale Earthworks are located about 2000 feet northeast of Cary's Brook (034-0319). These earthworks are associated with the Union occupation of this area of the Shenandoah Valley during the fall of 1864 and are considered eligible for listing on the NRNP in the area of military history. The earthworks are within a predominantly wooded area and somewhat shielded from view of the proposed cell tower due to the fact that they are situated on a lower elevation (see Figure 3). The view towards the west has been compromised by extant cell towers and the water tower. Therefore, the proposed cell tower would not adversely affect those qualities that make the earthworks eligible for the NRNP. House (VDHR ;-034-0021). This house is a Federal style building dating to ea. 1840. 1t is a 5 - bay, 2 -story brick structure with a stone foundation, side gable, and an interior end chimney (Figure 7). The roof is standing seam metal. Windows are 6/6 on the first floor, but 9/6 on the second floor and the main door has a 4 -light transom_ There is a 1 -story asymmetrical 3 bay addition to the east of the main structtare. This house is potentially eligible for listing on the NRHP under Criterion C as an example of Federal architectural style. The natural setting of this property has been severely altered as it is surrounded by 1970s era apartment buildings. In addition, the view towards the cell tower, while partially obscured by vegetation, is dominated by telephone utility lines (Figure 8), The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect those qualities or characteristics that may qualify the property for listing in the NRNP. Cory's Brook (VDHR #034-0319). This structure was in very poor condition when it was recorded and the several surrounding associated outbuildings already existed in a ruinous condition_ CRI staff inspected the landform identified as the location of the house and found nothing but an overgrown area of tall grass and weeds (Figure 9). It appears that this house is no longer standing and therefore the proposed cell tower will have no effect on this resource. Care's Brook Reboubt (034-0320). This Civil War redoubt is located 200 feet northwest of Cary's Brook. It is associated with the Union troop activity in the area during the fall of 1864. After General Sheridan secured this portion of the Shenandoah Valley in 1864, Union forces occupied it. The redoubt is potentially eligible for listing on the NRBP for its association with an historic event. The current cell towers are not visible from this property because of the vegetation and the lower elevation of the earthwork (see Figure 9). The water tower just to the southwest, however, is �1isible from the western potion of the site (Figure 10). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect those qualities that make the earthwork potentially eligible for the NRNP_ .Smvage-Seal House, 3172 Valley Pike (VDHR #034-972). This structure is a vernacular 2 -story, -bay, side -gable, frame structure on a limestone foundation with a low basement, and an ell addition off the back (west elevation) of the house (Figure 11). The house dates to ca. 1890 to 1910, with additions dating to the 1940s. It has weatherboard siding, a standing seam metal roof, and twin exterior end chimneys and one central chimney on the ell. Additions include an enclosed shed roof porch on the south side of house, and a 1 -story shed roof addition of the west side. There is only one outbuilding, a 1 -story frame garage with aluminum siding. Other features include 2/2 sash windows, wood shutters and return cornice and frieze boards. This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NRIAP as an example of vernacular architecture. The natural setting of this structure has been completely altered, as it stands near a major intersection adjacent to a 7-11 convenience store. Commercial and residential structures and vegetation obstruct the view towards the proposed cell tower (Figure 12). This typical weatherboard I -house retains its original fabric; however, given the existing modern visual intrusions, construction of the proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure's potential eligibility for the NRHP. LC111tZ H071 -ye (VDHR u034-0974). This frame structure is a 2'/2 -story, 3 bay, hipped roof, Colonial Revival (ca. 1905-1920) style house (Figure 13). It has a lowered basement and the foundation is not visible_ The roof is slate with two hipped dormers. Only a fraction of the original fabric of the house appears to remain. 4 Vegetation and con-uercial structures obstruct and already modernized view toward the proposed cell tower (Figure 14). Due to the extensive remolding of the house, it does not appear to retain any of the characteristics that would make i# potentially eligible for the NR11P and therefore, the proposed cell tower would have no affect on this structure. Haase, Dalley Pike (i`VDHR #034-0975). This is a I' -story, front gable, frame vernacular style house with a lowered stone basement, weatherboard siding, and standing seam metal roof (Fgure 15). The roof has central gables on the north and south sides of the house and paired 6/1 windows in the gable ends. The front porch is a 1 -story Colonial Revival style with Tuscan columns on brick piers. This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NRI IP as an example of vernacular architecture. The view towards the proposed cell tower is partially obscured by other residential and commercial buildings as well as by vegetation (Figure 16). With the commercial development in the area and industrialization of the Route 11, the proposed cell tower will not adversely affect the natural setting of this vernacular structure. House. 3284 Valley Pike (VDHR #034-0976). This house has been converted to a commercial business. The original portion is built on a stone foundation with low basement (Figure I7). The house is a frame construction with composition siding and 3 -bay front faFade with 6/6 paired windows. The roof is standing seam metal with a side gable. There is an exterior end chimney that has become an interior chimney with construction of two one-story additions built on concrete block foundations in the 1950s. This structure has been significantly remodeled, altering the characteristics that made it potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP. Industrial businesses and vegetation partially obscure the view towards the proposed cell tower site (Figure 18). The proposed cell tower will have no affect on this structure_ House, Route 11 (VDHR #034-0977). This house is a 2%z -story American Four Square (ca. 1910- 1930) style with its original fabric (Figure 19). The house is built on a concrete foundation with a low basement. It has a frame construction with stretcher bond brick veneer and 3 -bay front faFade with 3/1 windows with flat arches. The roof is standing seam metal, pyramidal hipped roof with one hipped dormer on the front fagade and an interior chimney. Porches adorn the east and west elevations of the house. The front faVade (east elevation) has a 1 -story full favade Crallsman style porch with wooden battered columns on brick piers. The west elevation has a two-story porch, with the first story enclosed. This structure was considered eligible for listing on the NRIIP as an example of an American Four Square, while several other examples are nearby, this structure appears to retain most of its original materials. Several frame outbuildings associated with this house, including a chicken coop, garage, and meathouse were standing in 1990 but have since been razed. The natural setting of this resource has been considerably altered by the commercial development along Route 11. Industrial and commercial businesses partially obscure the view 5 towards the propo:red cell tower site and moden-, intrusions dominate the landscape (Figure 20). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure. House, 3328 Valley Pike (VDHR #.034-0978). This is a large Folk Victorian house made of concrete block (Figure 21). It is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side gable structure with a complex floor plan and several cross gables and central gable in the front (west facade). The roof is standing seam metal with a boxed cornice with a. laurel motif in the cornice_ There is a central flue_ The windows are 1/1 and concrete lintels, some paired. The primary porch is a I -story, enclosed wrap around. There are also enclosed side, 2 -story porches. On the back of the house, there is a 1 -story wing addition. While this structure was at one time potentially eligible for the NRNP, it has seen multiple modifications and additions and is in disrepair_ The natural setting is comprised of commercial businesses and would have no bearing on its eligibility for listing. The view from this structure towards the proposed cell tower is dominated by commercial development, with and existing cell tower visible in the background. (Figure 22). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure. House, 3400 Valley Pike (VDHR #034-0979). This house has been converted into a commercial business_ The house is a 2'/i -story, 2 -bay, American Four Square (ca 1920-1940) with a hipped, pyramidal roof (Figure 23). The foundation is covered by stucco, but the building appears to be a wood frame structur(, with an enclosed porch on the west elevation. The roof is asphalt shingles (replaced) with a hipped dormer on the west elevation and with boxed cornice. The windows are 1/1 and there are two interior flues. There is an enclosed 2 -story porch on the east elevation (rear) that was added to the house. This structure has been significantly remodeled, altering the characteristics that made it potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP. Industrial and commercial businesses dominate the immediate landscape and an existing cell tower is clearly visible in the distance (Figure 24). The proposed cell tower will have no effect on this structure. Robert Wilson Sr. Haase (YDHR #034-0980). This house contains what is believed to be the site of the early settler, Robert Wilson. The rear portion of the house is Iog and dates to ca. 1800 to 1810. Overall, the house is a vernacular I -House with the earlier portion forming an ell of the east elevation. The house sits on a stone foundation with a split-level basement (Figure 25). The log portion is 2 -story with an enclosed porch and is shorter than the main portion of the house. The main or front portion of the house is a side -gable, 2 -story, 3 -bay 1 -house with one interior end chimney and standing seam metal roof, There is a i -story full -facade porch on the west facade of the I -House, with chamfered columns and sawn brackets. The windows are mostly 6/6 with some newer 8/8 and there is a three -light transom over the front door_ There are many farm -related outbuildings around the house, including a large frame gambrel -roofed bank barn with attached corn crib, several machine sheds, chicken coops, and pig pens. This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP due to its association with early settlement in the 0 area. The natural setting, with various outbuildings, mature trees and nearby spring, added to its significance when originally recorded in 1990. This house currently sits immediately adjacent to an industrial center_ The view towards the proposed cell tower includes a large Carquest Autoparts Distribution Center and other industrial buildings (Figure 26). Since this view has already been altered by modern intrusions, the additional proposed cell tower will have no adverse effect on the eligibilityofof the Wilson House to the National Register. Barton -Sprinkle House (VDHR #034-0981). This house once stood near the intersection of Route 11 and Route 37, and was moved to its present location around 1970. The house sits on a new concrete block foundation and has a low basement under the main house and a split-level basement under a rear 1 -story addition (Figure 27). The house is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side gable structure with a one-story porch on main elevation (south) and an enclosed 2 -story porch on the north side of the house, with the 1 -story addition. Other elements include 6/6 windows, two interior end flues, 3 -light sidelights and a. broken transom about the door. Since this house was moved from its original setting, the immediate surroundings would not have bearing on its eligibility for listing on the NRNP. The house sits in a small subdivision surrounded by 1960s and 1970s ramblers. The view towards the proposed cell tower includes a motel and the Carquest Auto Parts Distribution Center (Figure 28). Construction of the proposed cell tourer, therefore, will not effect this resource. House., Route 11 01DHR #034-0982).

The Carquest Auto Parts Distribution Center currently occupies the site. This house has been demolished and is not eligible for listing on the NRHP. Construction of the proposed cell tower, therefore, will not effect this resource. House, Route 11 "HR :11034-0985). The house is a 2 -story, 2 bay, cross gable structure with a pressed tin metal roof. It is in the vernacular style dating to ca. 1880-1910 and has a I -story porch with turned spindles on the main elevation (Figure 29). Other elements include 2/2 �k indows (some paired), boxed cornice, and a central flue. This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the DRIP as an example of an early 20th century frame barn. The natural setting of this property has been commercialized as a retail nursery. 7 The view towards the proposed cell tower consists of Interstate 81, a water tower and commercial businesses (Figure 30). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect those qualities or characteristics that may qualify the property for listing on the NRIi'_ Russell House #2 (VDHR #034-1191)_ This house is a vernacular side passage dating to ca. 1870-1910 (Figure 31). The house is a 21/z -story, 2 -bay, side gable with central front gable on a stone foundation with a low basement. The house is clad in stucco and has a standing seam metal roof. The porch off the north facade is a full-fagade 1 -story porch with turned supports, hipped roof, and plain friezeboard. Other elements include 2/2 windows (some paired), 1/1 window in central front gable, boxed cornice, and interior brick flue. There is a rear 2 -story gabled wing on a stone foundation with 2/2 and 3/1 windows_ A later addition to the south elevation of the house is a 1 -story enclosed porch with German lap siding. There are several outbuildings associated with this house, including a concrete shed, several frame sheds, chicken coop, concrete silo, concrete garage, and a trailer home. This house is potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP as an example of vernacular architecture_ The immediate setting, with the exception of a few modem structures, is overall a fairly pristine environment, which contributes to the resource's significance_ The view towards the cell tower is relatively unobstructed but with the existing cell towers visible in the distance (Figure 32)_ In addition, Interstate 81 contributes some visual impact, as it is located approximately 500 feet west of the house. Although construction of the proposed tower ,.will introduce a new visual element into the viewshed of this s�ructure, it will not adversely affect those qualities or characteristics that may qualify the property for listing on the :QTRI W. Russell House #1 (VDHR #034-1192). This house is a vernacular American Four Square (ca. 1910-1930) on a stone foundation with a low basement (Figure 33). The house is a 21/2 -story, 2 - bay, frame structure with new vinyl siding. The roof is a standing seam metal, hipped roof with one hipped dormer on the north (northeast) fagade and two interior brick flues. The porch on the north fagade is full-fagade with a concrete pad, turned spindles, wrought iron balustrade, plain friezeboard, and a hipped roof. The 2 -story enclosed porch on the south elevation is newer with an exterior concrete flue. Several outbuildings around the house include a gambrel -roofed concrete block barn, several machine sheds, a concrete silo, metal silos, and a trailer home_ This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP as an example of Vernacular American Four Square. As with Russell House #2, the immediate setting, with some modern structures, is overall a fairly pristine environment, contributing to the resource's significance. The view towards the proposed cell tower includes the existing monopole tower and Interstate 81 (Figure 34). The house sits about 1000 feet east of the interstate with little vegetation shielding the viewshed. As such, the proposed cell tower will not adversely affect the natural setting of this house. M .Beek -Clark House OIDHR #034-1339). This house is a hall -parlor I -House with some Folk Victorian elements on the porch (Figure 35). The house dates to ca. 1870. It is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side gable structure with twin interior -end brick chimneys_ It is a wood frame structure with asphalt shingle sidings and sits on a stone foundation_ The windows are 616 on the first floor and 212 on the second boor_ "111-e porch is nearly a full-fagade, hipped roof 1 -story porch with four posts (or columns) with side -brackets. There is also a meathouse outbuilding and a concrete modem garage, The house retains most of its natural setting and is potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP as an example of Folk Victorian style. The view towards the proposed cell tower is obstructed by vegetation (Figure 36). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect the natural setting of the house_ Resources Recorded During the Current Survey Lex°in-Taunt Company -316' Valley Pike. This structure is a mid -twentieth century concrete block building with porch across the front fagade (Figure 37)_ The building was standing around 1948_ according to the present owner, Philip Yount, who remembers it as a Civil War Museum during that time. The building later was used as a "day-old" bread store in the 1960s. The present owner purchased and renovated the building in 1980-81, and opened the current business. There is a 2 -year old metal frame garage north of the main building. The main building is a concrete block, 32bay, front -gable structure. There is an interior brick flue towards the rear of the building, and the roofing material was replaced in the 1980s renovation of the building, currently asphalt shingles. The front porch columns were purchased in 1980 and replaced the original square posts. All the windows and doors were replaced, except for the door on the east elevation_ The windows on the north and south elevations were cut out during the 1980 renovations. Views toward the proposed cell tower are obstructed by other buildings and tree growth (Figure 38)_ Due to the extensive renovation and lack of significant architectural style, this structure is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRH?. Therefore, the proposed cell tower construction would not effect this structure. Erie Insurance Groep Building -3186 Valley Pike. This structure is a mid -twentieth century 2 !/x - story house with a low basement with several additions (Figure 39). The original portion of the house is a 3 -bay with a partially enclosed central portico, two dormers on the main elevation and one shed dormer on the west (rear) elevation, and an exterior end chimney. There are additions to the west and to the south. The two additions to the south are less than 10 years old. Constructed on a cinder block foundation, this frame structure has gabled dormers and 6/6 windows. This structure is located just to the south of 034-0972, Views toward the proposed cell tower are characterized by residential/commercial buildings and Trees, which obscure the view of the proposed facility from the property (Figure 40). The Erie Insurance Group building is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRH-p.Therefore, the construction of the proposed cell tower would not effect this structure. Huse, 322 "alley Pilo. This stiuctu e appears to have a brick veneer that may be covering an older frame structure. The house is a side -gable, 2 -story, 3 bay structure with a low basement (Figure 41). The foundation, if not brick, is obscured by the brick veneer. There are S/S windows on the first floor and 6/6 windows on the second and wooden shutters only on the main facade of the house. There is a brick exterior -end chimney and a shed roof porch with two posts on brick piers on the north elevation and an enclosed frame shed roof porch that has been covered in brick veneer on the west elevation. There are entry doors on all four elevations. The roof is asphalt shingles. The brick all looks very new, but the windows and other elements appear older, including a broken triangular pediment door surround. The brick veneer was visible behind the door pediment. This structure has been significantly remodeled and, therefore, it is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRNP. The view towards the proposed cell tower is partially obscured by trees and other structures (Figure 42). Visible from this structure are some of the industrial plants located on the east side of Route 11. The house is surrounded by mature trees and has houses in close proximity to the north and south. Therefore, the proposed cell tower would not have an effect on this structure. House, 3.25 6 Valley Pike. This structure is situated behind a 1960-1970s structure. The structure is a 1'/a story concrete block -house with 3 -bay, front -gable with weatherboard siding in the sables (Figure 43). The windows are 6/6 and there is a central brick flue. The roof is standing seam metal. There are two porches on the main (east facade) and west elevations. The main elevation porch is a four -post, full-fagade, shed roof porch. The west elevation has a full -facade, shed roof porch that has been enclosed. This structure is recommended not eligible for listing on the NREP as it is a common standing structure in the vicinity with no distinctive characteristics. Trees and other structures obscure the view towards the proposed cell tower (Figure 44). Therefore, the proposed cell tower would have no effect on this structure. Hrmse, 3504 Valley Pike. This Bungalow -type structure is on a concrete block foundation with wood frame structural system (Figure 45)_ The house is 11/2 -story, front gable, 2 -bay (door and a double window) structure, with a possible low basement or crawl space. The house appears to be ca. 1930s. The windows are 6/6 and the exterior is weatherboard siding. There is a central brick flue and a single gable dormer on the south elevation. There is a full -facade porch with posts on brick piers on the main (east facade) elevation. Associated with this house are two shed outbuildings (ca 1960s) and another cinder block, shed roof building used as a business (ca 1960s). This structure has been significantly remodeled, and, therefore, it is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRI'. a The proposed cell tower would be in plain view of this structure, but there is another cell tower associated with the Allegheny Power Plant building, directly across the street from this house (Figure 46). Construction of the proposed tower, therefore, would have no effect this structure. Business, 3908 Valley Pike. This is a I'/;z-story, 2 -bay, side gable, cinder block structure with a low basement (Figure 47). The main elevation (east facade) has a door and bay window. On the west elevation there is a I -story shed roof addition. The roof is asphalt shingles and there is an interior brick flue_ There are two concrete block gable sheds in the rear of the building. This structure has been significantly remodeled, and, therefore, it is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRIIP. The view towards the proposed cell tower is partially obscured by vegetation (Figure 48). The proposed cell tower would have no effect on this structure. Conclusions and Recommendations Construction of the proposed telecommunications cell tower at the Shenandoah Gas Company building will introduce a new visual element into the viewshed of properties 50 years of age or older within the APE that are either listed on or considered eligible for listing on the NRHP. However; based upon the results of the windshield survey and assessment of effects, it is Patton, Hams, Rust & Associates' opinion that in accordance with 36 CFR §800.5(b), construction of the proposed 180 -foot tower will not diminish the characteristics that would qualify those properties within the APE for Iisting on the NRNP_ If you concur with our recommendation of no adverse effect, please indicate by signature and date below.

The site consists of a 120 -foot monopole tower with an existing 12 -foot by 18 -foot equipment shed. The existing 120 -foot monopole tower is proposed to be increased 60 -feet to the height of 180 -feet. No new ground disturbance is proposed. An archives search was performed at the Department of Historic Resources Data Share System (DHR-DSS) and on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) information system. Six properties were identified on the DHR-DSS within the % mile APE. The Crawford Hillandale House (DHR-DSS #034-0126, recommended for listing on the NRNP) is located approximately 1,500 feet to the southwest of the subject site, the Village Auto Sales (DHR-DSS #034- 0984, not evaluated and razed) is located approximately 2,300 feet to the northwest of the subject site, the Barton -Sprinkle House (DHR- DSS #034-0981, not evaluated) is located approximately 2,900 feet to the southwest of the subject site, two residential dwellings located on Route 11 (DHR-DSS 4034-0982 and #034-0983, not evaluated and razed) are located approximately 2,500 feet to the northwest of the subject site and the Robert Wilson, Sr. House (DHR-DSS #034-0980, not evaluated) is located approximately 2,500 feet to the northwest of the subject site. No properties or structures were present within the area of potential effect (APE), which were listed on the NRNP. A previous architectural survey conducted by Cultural Resources, Inc. (CRI) dated July 23, 2002, indicated that the proposed 120 -foot monopole tower would have no adverse effect on the historical properties in the vicinity of the site. Please refer to the attached U.S.G.S. topographic map, aerial photograph, site photographs, photosimulations, the architectural review, and the previous response from the SHPO indicating that the proposed tower will have an affect on historic properties in the vicinity of the site; however, the affect will not be adverse. We are asking that you review the increase in the height of the tower and determine whether or not you anticipated an impact.

Marc Hohna Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2801 Kensington Avenue Richmond, Virginia 23221 RE: Section 106 Review of a Proposed Washington Gas Telecommunications Tower, Winchester, Virginia Dear Mr. Holma: On behalf of our client, Patton, Harris, Rust & Associates, P.C_, we are requesting your concurrence with our determination that construction of a proposed telecommunications tower in Vl"inchester, Virginia will not adversely effect properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRNP). Our request is made pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800_ Protection of Historic Properties, regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended). The proposed tower is a 180 -foot lattice self-support. The proposed project site is located adjacent and behind the existing Shenandoah Gas Building and approximately 450 feet east of Interstate 81 (Figure I). The tower will be located beside two existing towers, a 112 -foot monopole and a 42 -foot lattice self-support. Area of Potential Effect The Area of Potential Effect (APE) is defined as that area where effects to historic properties can reasonably be expected to occur regardless of whether such properties currently exist_ For the purposes of this project, the APE is defined as all areas Iocated within a I.0 -mile radius of the proposed cell tower site. Situated in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, the terrain surrounding the APE is characterized by rolling hills, with some steeper relief around Hoge Run and Opequon Creek in the southeastern portion of the project area_ The cell tower will be located just east of an industrial area west of Interstate 81. The proposed tower will be located immediately adjacent to an existing 42 -foot lattice tower and a II 0-f0ot monopole (Appendix A and Appendix B). The setting of the project area includes a water tower, an additional cell tower, and an industrial complex (Figure 1). The 200 -foot water 1011-er is approximately 3/4 mile southwest of the proposed tower. A 200 -foot lattice self-support tower is across I-81 adjacent to the industrial site. Three large industrial plants in the vicinity include the Carquest Distribution Plant, General Electric, and Allegheny Power Company.

The results of this research indicated that nineteen architectural resources had been previously recorded within the APE (Figure 2). A total of thirty-four archaeological resources had been previously recorded either in or immediately adjacent to the proposed facility location (Figure 3). Due to the limited footprint of the proposed tower, construction of the facility is expected to have no effect on archaeological resources_ Also, the area of the cell tower has been previously graded for construction of the Shenandoah Gas building and the other two towers, therefore, no additional archaeological investigations are recommended. In addition to the archive check, a windshield survey was conducted of the APE by staff from Cultural Resources, Inc. (CRI). The survey included a visual assessment of the proposed tower site, a windshield survey of all structures 50 years of age or older within APE, and an assessment of potential visual effects to resources 50 years of age or older within the APE. Representative views of the siteiine between the proposed tower site and historic and potentially historic resources with',. the APE were also photographed. Ali public roads within the APE were surveyed and photographs were taken from public rights-of-way. All structures identified on the U.S.G_S. Winchester quadrangle were visually inspected if access was permitted_ For those properties where access was restricted, photographs were taken of the property from the closest point in a public right-of-way and views back towards the proposed tower taken from the same point. The results of the windshield survey and the assessment of effects are discussed below. Previously Identified Resources within a One -Mile Radius Camp Russell Historic District "HR #034-5036). This historic district includes the Hillandale House and the Camp Russell Earthworks. It extends from Interstate 81 to Hoge Run, more or less due east of the intersection of I-81 and Route 37. The district is wooded on the eastern portion with open fields to the west adjacent to the Hillandale House (Figure 4). The eastern half of the site has previously been compromised by modern visual impacts, including existing cell towers and the water tank, while the wooded western position of the district is somewhat shielded from these impacts_ Given the presence of modern elements already in the viewshed, construction of the proposed structure will not adversely affect those qualities and characteristics that qualify the district for listing on the NRNP. iiJ Hillarulale-Crawford House (VDHR #034-0126). There are three distinct phases of construction/additions to this house (Figure 5). The central portion of the house was originally constructed ca 1780-1800. It is a 2 -story, 3 -hay, side -gable house constructed of coursed limestone, with a full facade 1 -story front porch and an interior end chimney_ The second phase of construction (ca 1875-1890) added what is now the main facade of the house. This section of the house is 2 -story random limestone. It is a 3 -bay side -gable structure with central front gable, two c -antral brick chimneys, and a partial I -story porch with Boric columns. The third phase of construction (ca 1910-1930) added the 2 -story, gable frame addition with weatherboard siding on a split-level stone basement. The roof over the entire structure is pressed tin shingles. There are several outbuildings associated with this structure. These buildings iMclude a stone springhouse, a possible log or frame meathouse, several frame sheds, a frame barn, carriage house, machine shed, frame bank barn with stave silo, and a frame tenant house about % mile northwest of the main house. Hillandale has been determined potentially eligible for the listing on the NRNP. The outbuildings, nearby tenant house and historic district, and general setting on the landscape are contributing factors to the eligibility of this structure. The view toward the proposed cell tower overlooks the tenant house and the current towers are visible in the distance (Figure 6). Since this view has already been altered by modern intrusions, the additional proposed cell tower will have no adverse effect on the eligibility of the ffillandale House to the NRNP. Camp Russe&Hillandale Earthworks (034-0321)_ The Hillandale Earthworks are located about 2000 feet northeast of Cary's Brook (034-0319). These earthworks are associated with the Union occupation of this area of the Shenandoah Valley during the fall of 1864 and are considered eligible for listing on the NRHP in the area of military history. The earthworks are within a predominantly wooded area and somewhat shielded from view of the proposed cell tower due to the fact that they are situated on a lower elevation (see Figure 3), The view towards the west has been compromised by extant cell towers and the water tower. Therefore, the proposed cell tower would not adversely affect those qualities that make the earthworks eligible for the NRNP. House (VDHR ;1034-0021). This house is a Federal style building dating to ca. 1840. It is a 5 - bay, 2 -story brick structure with a stone foundation, side gable, and an interior end chimney (Figure 7)_ The roof is standing seam metal. Windows are 6/6 on the first floor, but 9/6 on the second floor and the main door has a 4 -light transom. There is a 1 -story asymmetrical 3 bay addition to the east of the main structure. This house is potentially eligible for listing on the NRHP under Criterion C as an example of Federal architectural style. The natural setting of this property has been severely altered as it is surrounded by 1970s era apartment buildings. In addition, the view towards the cell tower, while partially obscured by vegetation, is dominated by telephone utility lines (Figure 8). The 3 proposed cell tower will not adversely affect those qualities or characteristics that may qualify the property for listing in the NRNP. Cary's Brook (VDHR #034-0319). This structure was in very poor condition when it was recorded and the several surrounding associated outbuildings already existed in a ruinous condition. CRl staff' inspected the landform identified as the location of the house and found nothing but an overgrown area of tall grass and weeds (Figure 9). It appears that this house is no longer standing and therefore the proposed cell tower will have no effect on this resource. Cary's Brook Reboubt (034-0320). This Civil War redoubt is located 200 feet northwest of Cary's Brook. It is associated with the Union troop activity in the area during the fall of 1864. After General Sheridan secured this portion of the Shenandoah Valley in 1864, Union forces occupied it. The redoubt is potentially eligible for listing on the NRIIP for its association with an historic event. The current cell towers are not visible from this property because of the vegetation and the lower elevation of the earthwork (see Figure 9). The water tower just to the southwest, however, is 6sible from the western potion of the site (Figure 10). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect those qualities that make the earthwork potentially eligible for the NRNP. .Savage-S'eal House, 3172 Valley Pike (VDHR #034-972). This structure is a vernacular 2 -story, -bay, side -gable, frame structure on a limestone foundation with a low basement, and an ell addition off the back (west elevation) of the house (Figure 11). The house dates to ca. 1890 to 1910, with additions dating to the 1940s. It has weatherboard siding, a standing seam metal roof, and twin exterior end chimneys and one central chimney on the ell. Additions include an enclosed shed roof porch on the south side of house, and a i -story shed roof addition of the west side. There is only one outbuilding, a 1 -story frame garage with aluminum siding. Other features include 2/2 sash windows, wood shutters and return cornice and frieze boards. "Phis structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NRBP as an example of vernacular architecture. The natural setting of this structure has been completely altered, as it stands near a major intersection adjacent to a 7-11 convenience store. Commercial and residential structures and vegetation obstruct the view towards the proposed cell tower (figure 12). This typical weatherboard I -house retains its original fabric; however, given the existing modern visual intrusions, construction of the proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure's potential eligibility for the NRNP. Lantz House (VDHR --034-0974). This frame structure is a 21/2 -story, 3 bay, hipped roof, Colonial Revival (ca. 1905-1920) style house (Figure 13). It has a lowered basement and the foundation is not visible. The roof is slate with two hipped dormers. Only a fraction of the original fabric of the house appears to remain. M Vegetation and commercial structures obstruct and already modernized view toward the proposed cell tower (Figure 14). Due to the extensive remolding of the house, it does not appear to retain any of the characteristics that would make it potentially eligible for the NRNP and, therefore, the proposed cell tower would have no affect on this structure. Hmtse, Dalley Pike (VDHR #034-0975). This is a I %rstory, front gable, frame vernacular style house with a lowered stone basement, weatherboard siding, and standing seam metal roof (Figure 15). The roof has central gables on the north and south sides of the house and paired 6/1 windows in the gable ends. The front porch is a I -story Colonial Revival style with Tuscan columns on brick piers. This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NRI II' as an example of vernacular architecture_ The view towards the proposed cell tower is partially obscured by other residential and commercial buildings as well as by vegetation (Figure 16). With the commercial development in the area and industrialization of the Route 11, the proposed cell tower will not adversely affect the natural setting of this vernacular structure. House. 3284 Valley Pike (VDHR #034-0976). This house has been converted to a commercial business. The original portion is built on a stone foundation with low basement (Figure 17). The house is a frame construction with composition siding and 3 -bay front facade with 6/6 paired windows. The roof is standing seam metal with a side gable. There is an exterior end chimney that has become an interior chimney with construction of two one-story additions built on concrete block foundations in the 1950s. This structure has been significantly remodeled, altering the characteristics that made it potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP. Industrial businesses and vegetation partially obscure the view towards the proposed cell tower site (Figure 18). The proposed cell tower will have no affect on this structure. Horse, Route 11 (VDHR #034-0977). This house is a 2%z -story American Four Square (ca. 1910_ 1930) style with its original fabric (Figure 19)_ The house is built on a concrete foundation with a low basement. It has a frame construction with stretcher bond brick veneer and 3 -bay front faFade with 3/1 windows with flat arches. The roof is standing seam metal, pyramidal hipped roof 'with one hipped dormer on the front facade and an interior chimney. Porches adorn the east and west elevations of the house. The front facade (east elevation) has a 1 -story full fac"ade Craftsman style porch with wooden battered columns on brick piers. The west elevation has a two-story porch, with the first story enclosed. This structure was considered eligible for listing on the NRNP as an example of an American Four Square, while several other examples are nearby, this structure appears to retain most of its original materials. Several frame outbuildings associated with this house, including a chicken coop, garage, and meathouse were standing in 1990 but have since been razed. The natural setting of this resource has been considerably altered by the commercial development along Route 11 _ Industrial and commercial businesses partially obscure the view 5 towards the proposed cell tower site and modern intrusions dominate the landscape (Figure 20). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure. House, 3328 Valley Pure (TDHR #034-0978). This is a large Folk Victorian house made of concrete block (Figure 21). It is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side gable structure with a complex floor plan and several cross gables and central gable in the front (west facade). The roof is standing seam metal with a boxed cornice with a laurel motif in the cornice_ There is a central flue_ The windows are 1/1 and concrete lintels, some paired. The primary porch is a 1 -story, enclosed wrap around. There are also enclosed side, 2 -story porches. On the back of the house, there is a 1 -story wing addition. While this structure was at one time potentially eligible for the NRNP, it has seen multiple modifications and additions and is in disrepair. The natural setting is comprised of commercial businesses and would have no bearing on its eligibility for listing. The view from this structure towards the proposed cell tower is dominated by commercial development, with and existing cell tower visible in the background. (Figure 22). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure. House, 3400 Dalley Pike (VDHR #034-0979). This house has been converted into a commercial business. The house is a 2'/z -story, 2 -bay, American Four Square (ca 1920-1940) with a hipped, pyramidal roof (Figure 23). The foundation is covered by stucco, but the building appears to be a wood frame structure with an enclosed porch on the west elevation. The roof is aspl.:dt shingles (replaced) with a hipped dormer on the west elevation and with boxed cornice. The windows are 1/1 and there are two interior flues. There is an enclosed 2 -story porch on the east elevation (rear) that was added to the house. This structure has been significantly remodeled, altering the characteristics that made it potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP. Industrial and commercial businesses dominate the immediate landscape and an existing cell tower is clearly visible in the distance (Figure 24). The proposed cell tower will have no effect on this structure. Robert Wilson Sr. House (PDHR #034-0980). This house contains what is believed to be the site of the early settler, Robert Wilson. The rear portion of the house is log and dates to ca. 1800 to 1810. Overall, the house is a vernacular I -House with the earlier portion forming an ell of the east elevation. The house sits on a stone foundation with a split-level basement (Figure 25). The log portion is 2 -story with an enclosed porch and is shorter than the main portion of the house. The main or front portion of the house is a side -gable, 2 -story, 3 -bay 1 -house with one interior end chimney and standing seam metal roof There is a 1 -story full-fagade porch on the west facade of the I -House, with chamfered columns and sawn brackets. The windows are mostly 6/6 with some newer 8/8 and there is a three -light transom over the front door. There are many farm -related outbuildings around the house, including a large frame gambrel -roofed bank barn with attached corn crib, several machine sheds, chicken coops, and pig pens. This structure is Potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP due to its association with early settlement in the 0 area. The natural setting, with various outbuildings, mature trees and nearby spring, added to its significance when originally recorded in I990_ This house currently sits immediately adjacent to an industrial center. The view towards the proposed cell tower includes a large Carquest Autoparts Distribution Center and other industrial buildings (Figure 26)_ Since this view has already been altered by modern intrusions, the additional proposed cell tower will have no adverse effect on the eligibility of the Wilson House to the NI ational Register. Barton -Sprinkle House (VDHR #034-098-1)- This house once stood near the intersection of Route I I and Route 37, and was moved to its present location around 1970. The house sits on a new concrete block foundation and has a low basement under the main house and a split-level basement under a rear 1 -story addition (Figure 27). The house is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side gable structure with a one-story porch on main elevation (south) and an enclosed 2 -story porch on the north side of the house, with the 1 -story addition. Other elements include 6/6 windows, two interior end flues, 3 -light sidelights and a broken transom about the door. Since this house was moved from its original setting, the immediate surroundings would not have bearing on its eligibility for listing on the NRNP. The house sits in a small subdivision surrounded by 1960s and I970s ramblers. The view towards the proposed cell tower includes a motel and the Carquest Auto Parts Distribution Center (Figure 28). Construction of the proposed cell tower, therefore, 1 not effect this resource. House, Route II (t'pHk #034_0 982,1 . This house has been demolished and is, therefore, not eligible for listing on the RHP. Construction of the proposed cell tower will have no effect. House, Route 11 (EDHR #034-0983). This house has been demolished and is, therefore, not eligible for listing on the NRNP. Construction of the proposed cell tower will have no effect, Village Auto Sales (VDHR 4034-0984). The Carquest Auto Parts Distribution Center currently occupies the site. This house has been demolished and is not eligible for listing on the NRNP_ Construction of the proposed cell tower, therefore, will not effect this resource. House, Route 11 (VDHR #034-0985).

There are several outbuildings associated with this house, including a concrete shed, several frame sheds, chicken coop, concrete silo, concrete garage, and a trailer home. This house is potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP as an example of vemacular architecture_ The immediate setting, with the exception of a few modem structures, is overall a fairly pristine environment, which contributes to the resource's significance_ The view towards the cell tower is relatively unobstructed but with the existing cell towers visible in the distance (Figure 32). In addition, Interstate 81 contributes some visual impact, as it is located approximately 500 feet west of the house. Although construction of the proposed tower will introduce a new visual element into the viewshed of dais structure, it will not adversely affect those qualities or characteristics that may qualify the property for listing on the WRIT. Rus_vell House #1 (VDHR #034-1192). This house is a vernacular American Four Square (ca. 1910-1930) on a stone foundation with a low basement (Figure 33).

The 2 -story enclosed porch on the south elevation is newer with an exterior concrete flue_ Several outbuildings around the house include a gambrel -roofed concrete block barn, several machine sheds, a concrete silo, metal silos, and a trailer home_ This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP as an example of Vernacular American Four Square. As with Russell House #2, the immediate setting, with some modern structures, is overall a fairly pristine environment, contributing to the resource's significance. The view towards the proposed cell tower includes the existing monopole tower and Interstate 81 (Figure 34). The house sits about 1000 feet east of the interstate with little vegetation shielding the viewshed. As such, the proposed cell tower will not adversely affect the natural setting of this house. Steele -Clark House (TDHR #034-1339). This house is a hall -parlor I -House with some Folk Victorian elements on the porch (Figure 35). The house dates to ca.. 1870_ It is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side gable structure with twin interior -end brick chimneys_ It is a wood frame structure with asphalt shingle sidings and sits on a stone foundation.

There is also a meathouse outbuilding and a concrete modern garage. The house retains most of its natural setting and is potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP as an example of Folk Victorian style. The view towards the proposed cell tower is obstructed by vegetation (Figure 36). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect the natural setting of the house. Resources Recorded During the Current Survey Lenin -fount Company -3167 Valley Pike. This structure is a mid -twentieth century concrete block building with porch across the front facade (Figure 37). The building was standing around 1948, according to the present owner, Philip Yount, who remembers it as a Civil War Museum during that time. The building later was used as a "day-old" bread store in the 1960s_ The present owner purchased and renovated the building in 1980-81, and opened the current business. There is a 2 -year old metal frame garage north of the main building_ T' -e main building is a concrete block, 3 -bay, front -gable structure. There is an interior brick flue towards the rear of the building, and the roofing material was replaced in the 1980s renovation of the building, currently asphalt shingles. The front porch columns were purchased in 1980 and replaced the original square posts. All the windows and doors were replaced, except for the door on the east elevation. The windows on the north and south elevations were cut out during the 1980 renovations. Views toward the proposed cell tower are obstructed by other buildings and tree growth (Figure i8). Due to the extensive renovation and lack of significant architectural style, this structure is recommended not elisrible for listing on the NRI1P_ Therefore, the proposed cell tower construction would not effect this structure_ brie Insurance Group Building -3186 Valley Pike. This structure is a mid -twentieth century 2 `.ii- stor_v house with a low basement with several additions (Figure 39). The original portion of the house is a 3 -bay with a partially enclosed central portico, two dormers on the main elevation and one shed dormer on the west (rear) elevation, and an exterior end chimney. There are additions to the west and to the south. The two additions to the south are less than 10 years old. Constructed on a cinder block foundation, this frame structure has gabled dormers and 6/6 windows. This structure is located just to the south of 034-0972. Views toward the proposed cell tower are characterized by residentiaUcommercial buildings and trees, which obscure the view- of the proposed facility from the property (Figure 40). The Erie 0 Insurance Group building is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRI -1P. Therefore, the construction of the proposed cell tower would not effect this structure. H use, 3222 Vah'ey This strums- Lure apf eais to have a brick veneer that may be covering an older frame structure. The house is a side -gable, 2 -story, 3 bay structure with a low basement (Figure 41). The foundation, if not brick, is obscured by the brick veneer. There are 8/8 windows on the first floor and 6/6 windows on the second and wooden shutters only on the main fa4ade of the house. There is a brick exterior -end chimney and a shed roof porch with two posts on brick piers on the north elevation and an enclosed frame shed roof porch that has been covered in brick veneer on the west elevation. There are entry doors on all four elevations. The roof is asphalt shingles. The brick all looks very new, but the windows and other elements appear older, including a broken triangular pediment door surround. The brick veneer was visible behind the door pediment. This structure has been significantly remodeled and, therefore, it is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRIAP. The view towards the proposed cell tower is partially obscured by trees and other structures (Figure 42). Visible from this structure are some of the industrial plants located on the east side of Route 11. The house is surrounded by mature trees and has houses in close proximity to the north and south. Therefore, the proposed cell tower would not have an effect on this structure. House, 3256 Valley Pike. This structure is situated Uvhind a 1960-1970s structure. The structure is a 1'/a story concrete block -house with 3 -bay, front -gable with weatherboard siding in the gables (Figure 43)_ The windows are 6/6 and there is a central brick flue. The roof is standing seam metal. There are two porches on the main (east fagade) and west elevations. The main elevation porch is a four -post, full-fagade, shed roof porch. The west elevation has a full -facade, shed roof porch that has been enclosed. This structure is recommended not eligible for listing on the N`RffP as it is a common standing structure in the vicinity with no distinctive characteristics. Trees and other structures obscure the view towards the proposed cell tower (Figure 44). Therefore, the proposed cell tower would have no effect on this structure. Hcnuse, 3504 Valley Pike. This Bungalow -type structure is on a concrete block foundation with wood frame structural system (Figure 45). The house is 11/2 -story, front gable, 2 -bay (door and a double window) structure with a possible low basement or crawl space. The house appears to be ca. 1930s. The windows are 6/6 and the exterior is weatherboard siding. There is a central brick flue and a single gable dormer on the south elevation. There is a full -facade porch with posts on brick piers on the main (east facade) elevation. Associated with this house are two shed outbuildings (ca 1960s) and another cinder block, shed roof building used as a business (ca 1960s). This structure has been significantly remodeled, and, therefore, it is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRNP. 10 The proposed cell tower would be in plain view of this structure, but there is another cell tower associated with the Allegheny Power Plant building, directly across the street from this house (Figure 46). Construction of the proposed tower, therefore, would have no effect this structure. Business, 3908 Valley Pike. This is a 1'/z -story, 2 -bay, side gable, cinder block structure with a low basement (Figure 47). The main elevation (east facade) has a door and bay window. On the west elevation there is a 1 -story shed roof addition. The roof is asphalt shingles and there is an interior brick flue. There are two concrete block gable sheds in the rear of the building. This structure has been significantly remodeled, and, therefore, it is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRH. The view towards the proposed cell tower is partially obscured by vegetation (Figure 48). The proposed cell tower would have no effect on this structure. Conclusions and Recommendations Construction of the proposed telecommunications cell tower at the Shenandoah Gras Company building will introduce a new visual element into the viewshed of properties 50 years of age or older within the APE that are either listed on or considered eligible for listing on the NRNP. However; based upon the results of the windshield survey and assessment of effects, it is Patton, Dams, Rust & Associates' opinion that in accordance with 36 CFR §800.5(b), construction of the proposed 1804001 tower will not dirninish the characteristics that would qualify those properties within the APE for listing on the NRNP.

Originally called Stephensburg, it was named Newtown-Stephensburg in 1879 and renamed Stephens City in 1887. The town grew up along a major crossroads on th e Valley Pike and became known for its wagon -making trade. The nationally known Newtown wagon was manufactured here. The community's buildings are chronologically and stylistically diversified: 18th -century log structures stand among buildings echoin g 19th -century revival styles. Typical of small Valley towns, most dwellings here are simple vernacular types that set off a scattering of more high -style works. The historic character is reinforced by a lack of significant construction over the past sixty years. During the Civil War constant troop movements caused the town to change hands many times, six times in one day alone, but with minimal destruction.

TC857245.1 s Page 12 of 24 WETLANDS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM National Wetland Inventory Maps are produced by the U -S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a sub -department of the U.S. Department of the Interior. In 1974, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service developed a criteria for wetland classification with four long range objectives: to describe ecological units that have certain homogeneous natural attributes, to arrange these units in a system that will aid decisions about resource management, to furnish units for inventory and mapping, and to provide uniformity in concepts and terminology throughout the U.S. High altitude infrared photographs, soil maps, topographic maps and site visits are the methods used to gather data for the productions of these maps. In the infrared photos, wetlands appear as different colors and these wetlands are then classified by type. Using a hierarchical classification, the maps identify wetland and deepwater habitats according to: system subsystem class subclass modifiers (as defined by Cowardin, et al. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service FWS/OBS 79/31. 1979.) The classification system consists of five systems: 1 _ marine 2. estuarine 3. riverine 4. lacustrine 5. palustrine The marine system consists of deep water tidal habitats and adjacent tidal wetlands. The riverine system consists of all wetlands contained within a channel. The lacustrine systems includes all nontidal wetlands related to swamps, bogs & marshes. The estuarine system consists of deepwater tidal habitats and where ocean water is diluted by fresh water. The palustrine system includes nontidal wetlands dominated by trees and shrubs and where salinity is below .5% in tidal areas. All of these systems are divided in subsystems and then further divided into class. National Wetland Inventory Maps are produced by transferring gathered data on a standard 7.5 minute U.S.G.S. topographic map. Approximately 52 square miles are covered on a National Wetland Inventory map at a scale of 1:24,000. Electronic data is compiled by digitizing these National Wetland Inventory Maps.

C.) Describe the techniques and the methodology, including any field survey, used to idents historic properties within the APE for direct effects. If no archeological field survey was performed, provide a report substantiating that: i) the depth of previous disturbance exceeds the proposed construction depth (excluding footings and other anchoring mechanisms) by at least 2 feet,- or, ii) geomorphological evidence indicated that cultural resource -bearing soils do not occur within the project area or may occur but at depths that exceed 2 feet below the proposed construction depth. A previous architectural survey was conducted by Ms. Kimberly Zawacki of Cultural Resources, Inc. (CRI) dated July 23, 2002. The survey indicated that the historical properties within one -mile of the cellular tower will not be adversely affected by the proposed undertaking. CULTURAL RESOURCES, INC. U July 23. 2002 N,fr_ Marc Holma Virginia Department of Historic Resources 2801 Kensington Avenue Richmond, Virginia 23221 JLJL 2 5 2"T RE: Section 106 Review of a Proposed Washington Gas Telecommunications Tower, Winchester, Virginia Dear Mr. Holma: On behalf of our client, Patton, Harris, Rust & Associates, P.C., we are requesting your concurrence with our determination that construction of a proposed telecommunications tower in Winchester, Virginia will not adversely effect properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRNP). Our request is made pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800, Protection of Historic Properties, regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended). The proposed tower is a 180 -foot lattice self-support. The proposed project site is located adjacent and behind the existing Shenandoah Gas Building and approximately 450 feet east of Interstate 81 (Figure 1). The tower will be located beside two existing towers, a 112 -foot monopole and a 42 -foot lattice self-support. Area of Potential Effect The Area of Potential Effect (APE) is defined as that area where effects to historic properties can reasonably be expected to occur regardless of whether such properties currently exist. For the purposes of this project, the APE is defined as all areas located within a 1.0 -mile radius of the proposed cell tower site. Situated in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, the terrain surrounding the APE is characterized by rolling hilts, with some steeper relief around Hoge Run and Opequon Creek in the southeastern portion of the project area_ The cell tower will be located just east of an industrial area west of Interstate 81. The proposed tower will be located immediately adjacent to an existing 42 -foot lattice tower and a 1 10 -foot monopole (Appendix A and Appendix B). The setting of the project area includes a water tower, an additional cell tower, and an industrial complex (Figure 1). The 200 -foot water tower is approximately '/4 mile southwest of the proposed tower. A 200 -foot lattice self-support 1.0,%Ver is across I-81 adjacent to the industrial site. Three large industrial plants in the vicinity include the Carquest Distribution Plant, General Electric, and Allegheny Power Company.

Identification of Historic Properties and Assessment of Effects A review of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) cultural resource inventory and survey information was conducted in an effort to identify all previously recorded historic properties listed or eligible for listing in the National Register within the APE. The results of this research indicated that nineteen architectural resources had been previously recorded within the APE (Figure 2). A total of thirty-four archaeological resources had been previously recorded either in or immediately adjacent to the proposed facility location (Figure 3). Due to the limited footprint of the proposed tower, construction of the facility is expected to have no effect on archaeological resources. Also, the area of the cell tower has been previously graded for construction of the Shenandoah Gas building and the other two towers, therefore, no additional archaeological investigations are recommended. In addition to the archive check, a windshield survey was conducted of the APE by staff from Cultural Resources, Inc. (CRI). The survey included a visual assessment of the proposed tower site, a windshield survey of all structures 50 years of age or older within APE, and an assessment of potential visual effects to resources 50 years of age or older within the APE. Representative views of the siteline between the proposed tower site and historic and potentially historic resources within the APE were also photographed. All public roads within the APE were surveyed and photographs were taken from public rights-of-way. All structures identified on the U.S.G_S. Winchester quadrangle were visually inspected if access was permitted. For those properties where access was restricted, photographs were taken of the property from the closest point in a public right-of-way and views back towards the proposed tower taken from the same point. The results of the windshield survey and the assessment of effects are discussed below. Previously Identified Resources within a One -Mile Radius ('amp Ruccell Historic District (VDHR #034-5036). This historic district includes the Hillandale House and the Camp Russell Earthworks. It extends from Interstate 81 to Hoge Run, more or less due east of the intersection of I-81 and Route 37. The district is wooded on the eastern portion with open fields to the west adjacent to the 11illandale House (Figure 4). The eastern half of the site has previously been compromised by modern visual impacts, including existing cell towers and the water tank, while the wooded western position of the district is somewhat shielded from these impacts_ Given the presence of modern elements already in the viewshed, construction of the proposed structure will not adversely affect those qualities and characteristics that qualify the district for listing on the NRHP. 2 Hillandale -Crawford House (YDHR #034-0126). There are three distinct phases of construction/additions to this house (Figure 5)_ The central portion of the housc was originally constructed ca 1780-1800. It is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side -gable house constructed of coursed limestone, with a full facade 1 -story front porch and an interior end chimney_ The second phase of construction (ca 1875-1890) added what is now the main facade of the house_ This section of the house is 2 -story random limestone. It is a 3 -bay side -gable structure with central front gable, two central brick chimneys, and a partial 1 -story porch with Doric columns. The third phase of construction (ca 1910-1930) added the 2 -story, gable frame addition with weatherboard siding on a split-level stone basemen -t- The roof over the entire structure is pressed tin shingles. There are several outbuildings associated with this structure. These buildings include a stone spring -house, a possible log or frame meathouse, several frame sheds, a frame barn, carriage house, machine shed, frame bank barn with stave silo, and a frame tenant house about % mile northwest of the main house. Hillandale has been determined potentially eligible for the listing on the NRI1P. The outbuildings, nearby tenant house and historic district, and general setting on the landscape are contributing factors to the eligibility of this structure. The view toward the proposed cell tower overlooks the tenant house and the current towers are visible in the distance (Figure 6). Since this view has already been altered by modem intrusions, the additional proposed cell tower will have no adverse effect on the eligibility of the ITillandale House to the NRI R Camp Russe&Hillandale Earthworks (034-0321). The Hillandale Earthworks are located about 2000 feet northeast of Cary's Brook (034-0319). These earthworks are associated with the Union occupation of this area of the Shenandoah Valley during the fall of 1864 and are considered eligible for listing on the NITU ' in the area of military history. The earthworks are ""thin a predominantly wooded area and somewhat shielded from view of the proposed cell tower due to the fact that they are situated on a lower elevation (see Figure 3). the view towards the west has been compromised by extant cell towers and the water tower. Therefore, the proposed cell tower would not adversely affect those qualities that make the earthworks eligible for the NRNP. Hcrose (VDHR ;;-T034-0021). This house is a Federal style building dating to ca_ 1840_ It is a 5 - bay, 2 -story brick structure with a stone foundation, side gable, and an interior end chimney (Figure 7)_ The roof is standing seam metal. Windows are 6/6 on the first floor, but 9/6 on the second floor and the main door has a 4 -light transom_ There is a 1 -story asymmetrical 3 bay addition to the east of the main structure. This house is potentially eligible for listing on the NR11P under Criterion C as an example of Federal architectural style. The natural setting of this property has been severely altered as it is surrounded by 1970s era apartment buildings. In addition, the view towards the cell tower, while partially obscured by vegetation, is dominated by telephone utility lines (Figure 91), The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect those qualities or characteristics that may qualify the property for listing in the NRHP. Cary's Brook (VDHR #034-0319). This structure was in very poor condition when it was recorded and the several surrounding associated outbuildings already existed in a ruinous condition_ CRI staff inspected the landform identified as the location of the house and found nothing but an overgrown area of tall grass and weeds (Figure 9). It appears that this house is no longer standing and therefore the proposed cell tower will have no effect on this resource. Care's Brook Reboubt (034-03201). This Civil War redoubt is located 200 feet northwest of Cary's Brook. It is associated with the Union troop activity in the area during the fall of 1864. After General Sheridan secured this portion of the Shenandoah Valley in 1864, Union forces occupied it. The redoubt is potentially eligible for listing on the NMP for its association with an historic event. The current cell towers are not visible from this property because of the vegetation and the lower elevation of the earthwork (see Figure 9). The water tower just to the southwest, however, is visible from the western potion of the site (Figure 10). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect those qualities that make the earthwork potentially eligible for the NRfiP_ .Sa>>age-Seal House, 3172 Valley Pike (VDHR #034-972). This structure is a vernacular 2 -story, -bay, side -gable, frame structure on a limestone foundation with a low basement, and an ell addition of the back (west elevation) of the house (Figure 11). The house dates to ca. 1890 to 1910, with additions dating to the 1940s. It has weatherboard siding, a standing seam metal roof, and twin exterior end chimneys and one central chimney on the ell. Additions include an enclosed shed roof porch on the south side of house, and a 1 -story shed roof addition of the west side. There is only one outbuilding, a 1 -story frame garage with aluminum siding. Other features include 2/2 sash windows, wood shutters and return cornice and frieze boards. This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NMF as an example of vernacular architecture. The natural setting of this structure has been completely altered, as it stands near a major intersection adjacent to a 7-11 convenience store. Commercial and residential structures and vegetation obstruct the view towards the proposed cell tower (Figure 12). This typical weatherboard I -house retains its original fabric; however, given the existing modern visual intrusions, construction of the proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure's potential eligibility for the NRNP. Lantz House (VDHR -034-0974). This frame structure is a 2'/z -story, 3 bay, hipped roof, Colonial Revival (ca. 1905-1920) style house (Figure 13). It has a lowered basement and the foundation is not visible. The roof is slate with two hipped dormers. Only a fraction of the original fabric of the house appears to remain, 4 Vegetation and commercial structures obstruct and already modernized view toward the proposed cell tower (Figure 14). Due to the extensive remolding of the house, it does not appear to retain any of the characteristics that would make it potentially eligible for the NR11P and, therefore, the proposed cell tower would have no affect on this structure. Horse, Valley Pike (VDHR #034-0975). This is a 1%rstory, front gable, frame vernacular style house with a lowered stone basement, weatherboard siding, and standing seam metal root` (Figure 15). The roof has central gables on the north and south sides of the house and paired 6/1 windows in the gable ends. The front porch is a 1 -story Colonial Revival style with Tuscan columns on brick piers_ This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NRIIP as an example of vernacular architecture_ The view towards the proposed cell tower is partially obscured by other residential and commercial buildings as well as by vegetation (Figure 16). With the commercial development in the area and industrialization of the Route 11, the proposed cell tower will not adversely affect the natural setting of this vernacular structure. House, 3284 Valley Pike (VDHR #034-0976). This house has been converted to a commercial business_ The original portion is built on a stone foundation with Iow basement (Figure 17)_ The house is a frame constriction with composition siding and 3 -bay front fagade with 6/6 paired windows. The roof is standing seam metal with a side gable. There is an exterior end chimney that has become an interior chimney with construction of two one-story additions built on concrete block foundations in the 1950s. This structure has been significantly remodeled, altering the characteristics that made it potentially eligible for listing on the NRIIP. Industrial businesses and vegetation partially obscure the view towards the proposed cell tower site (Figure 18). The proposed cell tower will have no affect on this structure. House, Route 11 (VDHR 9034-0977). This house is a 2%a -story American Four Square (ca. 1910- 1930) style with its original fabric (Figure 19). The house is built on a concrete foundation with a low basement. It has a frame construction with stretcher bond brick veneer and 3 -bay front faFade with 3/1 windows with flat arches. The roof is standing seam metal, pyramidal hipped roof with one hipped dormer on the front facade and an interior chimney. Porches adorn the east and west elevations of the house. The front facade (east elevation) has a I -story full facade Craftsman style porch with wooden battered columns on brick piers. The west elevation has a two-story porch, with the first story enclosed. This structure was considered eligible for listing on the NRI1P as an example of an American Four Square, while several other examples are nearby, this structure appears to retain most of its original materials. Several frame outbuildings associated with this house, including a chicken coop, garage, and meathouse were standing in 1990 but have since been razed. The natural setting of this resource has been considerably altered by the commercial development along Route 11. Industrial and commercial businesses partially obscure the view 5 towards the proposed cell tower site and modern intrusions dominate the landscape (Figure 20). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure. House, 3328 Valley Pike (VDHR #034-0978). This is a large Folk Victorian house made of concrete block (Figure 21). It is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side gable structure with a complex floor plan and several cross gables and central gable in the front (west fa0de). The roof is standing seam metal with a boxed cornice with a laurel motif in the cornice_ There is a central flue_ lle windows are 1/1 and concrete lintels, some paired. The primary porch is a I -story, enclosed wrap around. There are also enclosed side, 2 -story porches. On the back of the house, there is a 1 -story wing addition. While this structure was at one time potentially eligible for the NRNP, it has seen multiple modifications and additions and is in disrepair_ The natural setting is comprised of commercial businesses and would have no bearing on its eligibility for listing. The view from this structure towards the proposed cell tower is dominated by commercial development, with and existing cell tower visible in the background. (Figure 22). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect this structure. House, 3.00 Valley Pike (VDHR #034-0979). This house has been converted into a commercial business. The house is a 2'/a -story, 2 -bay, American Four Square (ca 1920-1940) with a hipped, pyramidal roof (Figure 23). The foundation is covered by stucco, but the building appears to be a wood frame structure with an enclosed porch on the west elevation. The roof is asphalt shingles (replaced) with a hipped dormer on the west elevation and with boxed cornice. The windows are 1/1 and there are two interior flues. There is an enclosed 2 -story porch on the east elevation (rear) that was added to the house. This structure has been significantly remodeled, altering the characteristics that made it potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP. Industrial and commercial businesses dominate the immediate landscape and an existing cell tower is clearly visible in the distance (Figure 24). The proposed cell tower will have no effect on this structure. Robert Milson Sr. Horse (LDHR #034-0980). This house contains what is believed to be the site of the early settler, Robert Wilson. The rear portion of the house is Iog and dates to ca. 1 so0 to 18 10. Overall, the house is a vernacular I -House with the earlier portion forming an ell of the east elevation. The house sits on a stone foundation with a split-level basement (Figure 25). The log portion is 2 -story with an enclosed porch and is shorter than the main portion of the house. The main or front portion of the house is a side -gable, 2 -story, 3 -bay I -house with one interior end chimney and standing seam metal roof. There is a 1 -story full-fagade porch on the west facade of the I -House, with chamfered columns and sawn brackets. The windows are mostly 6/6 with some newer 8/8 and there is a three -light transom over the front door. There are many farm -related outbuildings around the house, including a large frame gambrel -roofed bank barn with attached corn crib, several machine sheds, chicken coops, and pig pens. This structure is Potentially eligible for listing on the NRIIP due to its association with early settlement in the rel area_ The natural setting, with various outbuildings, mature trees and nearby spring, added to its sivnificance when originally recorded in 1990_ This house currently sits immediately adjacent to an industrial center_ The view towards the proposed cell tower includes a large Carquest Autoparts Distribution Center and other industrial buildings (Figure 26). Since this view has already been altered by modern intrusions, the additional proposed cell tower will have no adverse effect on the eligibility of the Wilson House to the rational Register. Barton -Sprinkle House (UDHR #034-0981)_ This house once stood near the intersection of Route I 1 and Route 37, and was moved to its present location around 1970. The house sits on a new concrete block foundation and has a low basement under the main house and a split-level basement under a rear I -story addition (Figure 27). The house is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side gable structure with a one-story porch on main elevation (south) and an enclosed 2 -story porch on the north side of the house, with the 1 -story addition, Other elements include 616 windows, two interior end flues, 3-Iight sidelights and a broken transom about the door. Since this house was moved from its original setting, the immediate surroundings would not have bearing on its eligibility for listing on the NRNP. The house sits in a small subdivision surrounded by 1960s and 1970s ramblers. The view towards the proposed cell tower includes a motel and the Carquest Auto Parts Distribution Center (Figure 28). Construction of the proposed cell tower, therefore, 'will not effect this resource. House, Route 11 (T DHR #034-0982), This house has been demolished and is, therefore, not eligible for listing on the NRHP. Construction of the proposed cell tower will have no effect. House. Route 11 (,DHR #034-0983). This house has been demolished and is, therefore, not eligible for listing on the NRNP. Construction of the proposed cell tower will have no effect. Village Auto Sales (TIL)HR 4034-0984). The Carquest Auto Parts Distribution Center currently occupies the site. This house has been demolished and is not eligible for fisting on the NRNP. Construction of the proposed cell tower, therefore, will not effect this resource. House, Route 11 (VDHR #034-0985). The house is a 2 -story, 2 bay, cross gable structure with a pressed tin metal roof. It is in the vernacular style dating to ca. 1880-1910 and has a 1 -story porch with turned spindles on the main elevation (Figure 29). Other elements include 2/2 windows (some paired), boxed cornice, and a central flue. This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the MU -1P as an example of an early 20th century frame barn. The natural setting of Lhis property has been commercialized as a retail nursery. 7 The view towards the proposed cell tower consists of Interstate 81, a water tower and commercial businesses (Figure 30). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect those qualities or characteristics that may qualify the property for listing on the NRIIP_ Russell House 42 (VDHR #034-1191). This house is a vernacular side passage dating to ca - 1870 -19 10 a_1870-1910 (Figure 31)_ The house is a 2rh-story, 2 -bay, side gable with central front gable on a stone foundation with a low basement_ The house is clad in stucco and has a standing seam metal roof The porch off the north facade is a full-faq-ade 1 -story porch with turned supports, hipped roof, and plain friezeboard. Other elements include 2/2 windows (some paired), 1/1 window in central front gable, boxed cornice, and interior brick flue. There is a rear 2 -story gabled wing on a stone foundation with 2/2 and 3/1 windows_ A later addition to the south elevation of the house is a I -story enclosed porch with German lap siding. There are several outbuildings associated with this house, including a concrete shed, several frame sheds, chicken coop, concrete silo, concrete garage, and a trailer home. This house is potentially eligible for listing on the NRHP as an example of vernacular architecture_ The immediate setting, with the exception of a few modern structures, is overall a fairly pristine environment, which contributes to the resource's significance_ The view towards the cell tower is rolatively unobstructed but with the existing cell towers visible in the distance (Figure 32). In addition, Interstate 81 contributes some visual impact, as it is located approximately 500 feet west of the house. Although construction of the proposed tower will introduce a new visual element into the viewshed of this structure, it will not adversely affect those qualities or characteristics that may qualify the property for listing on the NTRHP. Russell House #1 (VDHR #034-1192). This house is a vernacular American Four Square (ca. 1910-1930) on a stone foundation with a low basement (Figure 33). The house is a 21/2 -story, 2 - bay, frame structure with new vinyl siding. The roof is a standing seam metal, hipped roof with one hipped dormer on the north (northeast) fagade and two interior brick flues. The porch on the north facade is full-fagade with a concrete pad, turned spindles, wrought iron balustrade, plain friezeboard, and a hipped roof The 2 -story enclosed porch on the south elevation is newer with an exterior concrete flue. Several outbuildings around the house include a gambrel -roofed concrete block barn, several machine sheds, a concrete silo, metal silos, and a trailer home_ This structure is potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP as an example of Vernacular American Four Square_ As with Russell House #2, the immediate setting, with some modern structures, is overall a fairly pristine environment, contributing to the resource's significance. The view towards the proposed cell tower includes the existing monopole tower and Interstate 81 (Figure 34). The house sits about 1000 feet east of the interstate with little vegetation shielding the viewshed. As such, the proposed cell tower will not adversely affect the natural setting of this house. R Sleele-Clark House (TDHR #034-1339). This house is a hall -parlor I -House with some Folk Victorian elements on the porch (Figure 35). The house dates to ca. 1870. It is a 2 -story, 3 -bay, side gable structure with twin interior -end brick chimneys_ It is a wood frame structure with asphalt shingle sidings and sits on a stone foundation_ The windows are 6/6 on the first floor and 2/2 on the second floor. The porch is nearly a full-fagade, hipped roof 1 -story porch with four posts (or columns) with side -brackets. There is also a meathouse outbuilding and a concrete modern garage. The house retains most of its natural setting and is potentially eligible for listing on the NRNP as an example of Folk Victorian style. The view towards the proposed cell tower is obstructed by vegetation (Figure 36). The proposed cell tower will not adversely affect the natural setting of the house_ Resources Recorded During the Current Survey Lev�°in-fount Company -3167 Valley Pike. This structure is a mid -twentieth century concrete block building with porch across the front fagade (Figure 37). The building was standing around 1948, according to the present owner, Philip Yount, who remembers it as a Civil War Museum during that time_ The building later was used as a "day-old" bread store in the 1960s. The present owner purchased and renovated the building in 1980-81, and opened the current business. There is a 2 -year old metal frame garage north of the main building. The main building is a concrete block, 3 -bay, front -gable structure. There is an interior brick flue towards the rear of the building, and_ the roofing, material was replaced in the 1980s renovation of the building, currently asphalt shingles. The front porch columns were purchased in 1980 and replaced the original square posts. All the windows and doors were replaced, except for the door on the east elevation. The windows on the north and south elevations were cut out during the 1980 renovations_ Views toward the proposed cell tower are obstructed by other buildings and tree growth (Figure 18)_ Due to the extensive renovation and lack of significant architectural style, this structure is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRNP. Therefore, the proposed cell tower construction would not effect this structure. Erie Itaurance Group Building -3186 Valley Pike. This structure is a mid -twentieth century 2 './i- stor_y house with a low basement with several additions (Figure 39). The original portion of the house is a 3 -bay with a partially enclosed central portico, two dormers on the main elevation and one shed dormer on the west (rear) elevation, and an exterior end chimney. There are additions to the west and to the south. The two additions to the south are less than 10 years old. Constructed on a cinder block foundation, this frame structure has gabled dormers and 6/6 windows. This structure is located just to the south of 034-0972. \Jews toward the proposed cell tower are characterized by resid ential/comm ere] al buildings and trees, which obscure the view of the proposed facility from the property (Figure 40). The Erie we Insurance Group building is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRBP. Therefore, the construction of the proposed cell tower would not effect this structure. Haase, 3222 Valley Pike. This structure appears to have a brick veneer that may be covering an older frame structure. The house is a side -gable, 2 -story, 3 bay structure with a low basement (Figure 41). The foundation, if not brick, is obscured by the brick veneer. There are 8/8 uninrinwc on the first floor and 6l6 R7'.nrloVYs on the second and wooden ShliiierS only Ci] file in facade of the house. There is a brick exterior -end chimney and a shed roof porch with two posts on brick piers on the north elevation and an enclosed frame shed roof porch that has been covered in brick veneer on the west elevation. There are entry doors on all four elevations. The roof is asphalt shingles. The brick all looks very new, but the windows and other elements appear older, including a broken triangular pediment door surround. The brick veneer was visible behind the door pediment. This structure has been significantly remodeled and, therefore, it is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRNP. The view towards the proposed cell tower is partially obscured by trees and other structures (Figure 42). Visible from this structure are some of the industrial plants located on the east side of Route 11. The house is surrounded by mature trees and has houses in close proximity to the north and south. Therefore, the proposed cell tower would not have an effect on this structure_ House, 3256 Valley Pike. This structure is situated behind a 1960-1970s structure. The structure is a 1'/a story concrete block -house with 3 -bay, front -gable with weatherboard siding in the gables (Figure 43). The windows are 6/6 and there is a central brick flue. The roof is standing seam metal. There are two porches on the main (east facade) and west elevations. The main elevation porch is a four -post, full-fagade, shed roof porch. The west elevation has a full -facade, shed roof porch that has been enclosed. This structure is recommended not eligible for listing on the N'R> IP as it is a common standing structure in the vicinity with no distinctive characteristics. Trees and other structures obscure the view towards the proposed cell tower (Figure 44). Therefore, the proposed cell tower would have no effect on this structure. House, 3504 Valley Pike. This Bungalow -type structure is on a concrete block foundation with ;wood frame structural system (Figure 45). The house is P/2 -story, front gable, 2 -bay (door and a double window) structure with a possible low basement or crawl space. The house appears to be ca. 1930s. The windows are 6/6 and the exterior is weatherboard siding. There is a central brick flue and a single gable dormer on the south elevation. There is a full -facade porch with posts on brick piers on the main (east facade) elevation. Associated with this house are two shed outbuildings (ca 1960s) and another cinder block, shed roof building used as a business (ca 1960s). This structure has been significantly remodeled, and, therefore, it is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRNP. 10 The proposed cell tower would be in plain view of this structure, but there is another cell tower associated with the Alleghany Power Plant building, directly across the street from this house (Figure 46). Construction of the proposed tower, therefore, would have no effect this structure. Business, 3908 galley Pike. This is a 11/2 -story, 2 -bay, side gable, cinder block structure with a low basement (Figure 47). The main elevation (east facade) has a door and bay window. On the west elevation there is a I -story shed roof addition. The roof is asphalt shingles and there is an interior brick flue_ There are two concrete block gable sheds in the rear of the building. This structure has been significantly remodeled, and, therefore, it is recommended not eligible for listing on the NRNP_ The view towards the proposed cell tower is partially obscured by vegetation (Figure 48). The proposed cell tower would have no effect on this structure. Conclusions and Recommendations Construction of the proposed telecommunications cell tower at the Shenandoah Gras Company building will introduce a new visual element into the viewshed of properties 50 years of age or older within the APE that are either listed on or considered eligible for listing on the NRHP. However, based upon the results of the windshield survey and assessment of effects, it is Patton, Harzis, Rust & Associates' opinion that in accordance with 36 CFR §800.5(b), construction of the proposed 180 -foot tower will not diminish the characteristics that would qualify those properties within the APE for listing on the NRNP.
