Cultural Resources Survey of the Proposed Improvements to the Intersection of US 76 at US 123, Westminster

Author(s): Inna Burns

Year: 2005

Summary

"... Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted an intensive cultural resources survey of proposed improvements to the Intersection of US 76 at US 123, Oconee County, South Carolina. We identified one isolated find and notes the presence of a burned down historic home, altered by the addition of modern architectural features during the archaeological survey. We identified 14 historic architectural resources (0050-0062) during the survey. We recommend Resources 0050, 0052.00, 0053, and 0060 eligible for the NRHP under Criterion C because they are excellent local examples various architectural styles. None of these resources will be impacted by the undertaking. Because none of the resources are from the same time period or located near each other, we feel that there is no historic district. We recommend the remaining ten historic architectural resources not eligible for the NRHP. No additional investigations of the proposed project with regard to cultural resources are warranted."
