Some error corrections / investigation issues identified further below have been submitted to the NRHP for correction. The ones covered so far mostly involve apparent typos during NRHP's NRIS data system entry, and are denoted by notes like "submitted in batch01:13-14, reported by NRHP_RT to be fixing in NRIS as of 3/4/2009", below. There has not yet been a comprehensive submission of identified errors for correction and/or investigation to Pennsylvania staff, separately, yet. Some individual items have been addressed, however, as follows. --

I just heard back from a Preservation Specialist at the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission, and they will investigate these errors and try to correct them. Three cheers for crowd sourcing!--

with misspelling/minor edit fixes needed in two. For No. 5, fix typo to spell as "Lock" rather than "Locka". For No. 8, spell as "No. 8" rather than "No.8". This probably is reflected in NRHP.COM's listings.

Three covered bridges in
Lehigh County are listed in North or South Whiteland Townships, but
this Census Bureau map proves that no Lehigh County township has "Whiteland" in its name, and the coords provided show that they're actually in North or South Whitehall Townships. The bridges are
Geiger (North),
Manasses Guth (South), and
Rex (North).

Passenger Locomotive No. 1737 was the first of 425 of famous K4 class of
4-6-2 Pacific type locomotives on the PRR. Unfortunately, it is well known that
PRR 1737 was scrapped and that shortly thereafter in the 50's the PRR slapped 1737's number plate on #3750, a nearly identical member of the class. It is 3750, with its original number plate, not 1737, that is at the location cited by NRIS for 1737. However, here's the rub -- the actual locomotive nominated for the NRHP in 1979 was #3750 -- #1737 had been gone for twenty years. So, should the article be about 1737 or 3750? Which photo should go in
National Register of Historic Places listings in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (we have both)? . . . . Jim . . . .

BTW, the PRR did the same thing with 7002, also on the NRHP. In the case of 7002, however, everyone involved is maintaining the fiction that the locomotive on display is 7002, even though it was scrapped in 1934 -- see
PRR E2#Engine #7002 It is, therefore, not a problem for us -- we just maintain the fiction. . . . . Jim . . . .

Fox Chase Farm, in Pennsylvania, which is listed in National Register as "Stanley", a former name, is listed at 8500 Pine Road, Rocklege.
User:BillFlis notes that it is not in Rocklege or Rockledge. Is
Rockledge, Pennsylvania a town? Anyhow this is in Philadelphia, interestingly a working farm in the city (and the only one).
batch04:22-23: Believe these should be relisted in Edgewood and Upper St. Clair Township, respectively.
The
Isabella Furnace is listed at "Bollinger Drive just north of Creek Road, Nantmeal Township" — there is no Nantmeal Township in the county, but there are
East and
West Nantmeal Townships. Provided coords demonstrate that it's in West Nantmeal Township.

Twentieth Century Club of Lansdowne is listed at address and coordinates "84 South Lansdown Avenue 39°56′8″N 75°17′4″W" 84 South Lansdowne is correct, which has coordinates
Autenrieth miss-spellings.
Charles M. Autenrieth (1828–1906) was architect who worked in partnership
Collins & Autenrieth. Two NRHP listings show incorrect spellings for his last name.
NOTE: For the most part, it is not helpful to report coordinates issues here. If you have a correction for coordinates to an NRHP site, please just go ahead and make those corrections in its article and in the corresponding county/town NRHP list-article. --
