• Roosevelt Island Light, aka Blackwell Island Light and Welfare Island Light, is in NRIS simply as "Lighthouse". While true, it's not very helpful. It was built and owned by the City of New York, so it has never had an official USCG name.

This may not be any error. But, the NRIS / Elkman system indicates both:

• Albert Smith House, Waldwick, NJ
• Albert Smith House, Waldwick, NY

Is one of these an error?

There's some kind of error here. According to the USGS GNIS database, there is no Waldwick, NY. Both listings are coded as "listed" in the raw NPS NRIS database and they have different reference numbers. But both have the same address and are identified as being part of the "Stone Houses of Bergen County TR" multiple listing (Waldwick, NJ is in Bergen County). Perhaps there's an Albert Smith House listed on the NRHP somewhere in New York, but it seems doubtful since the New York Historic Preservation Office doesn't seem to have a record of it. --sanfranman59 (talk) 03:03, 6 August 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Article now at Albert Smith House (Waldwick, New Jersey), as there's a Utah one too. The NRIS gives this as being located in both Bergen County, New Jersey and Allegany County, New York. Yeah, there is no way this is a property that spans borders, as National Register of Historic Places listings in Bergen County, New Jersey is far away from National Register of Historic Places listings in Allegany County, New York. And Waldwick is a borough not on the border, and the coords place inside the county. Seems like, flat out, an error in NRIS's records to give a secondary location for this one. --doncram (talk) 03:00, 16 March 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

My comment was "Thanks for reply, that was regarding the following note which was in the article (and which I just removed): The place is the Christ Church (Rochester, New York). It appears there was a typo in the National Register's NRIS database entry, recording this as town=Monroe and town=Rochester when it should have been just Rochester, which is in Monroe County. The NRHP document showed location as "Rochester, Monroe County" which was misinterpreted to be a list of two towns that the place is in (when in fact it is just in Rochester)."

Anyhow, NRIS (and the NYS system) shows "Monroe" incorrectly in the town/city field, whether or not it made duplicate entries for two towns, it actually is in just one, Rochester. --doncram (talk) 16:55, 14 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

For the record, it's "Avenue E", not "E Avenue", which most people would interpret as "East Avenue". That said, abbreviating "East" when that's the name of the road and not just a direction is probably unnecessary. Powers ^T 14:26, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    • Thanks for finding that. I think i had searched for such a website but was not able to find it. Also, I think the NYS system which provides PDFs of NRHP application text/photos docs was down for a while, back then, and/or i did not know how to use it then. I was able to add link to PDF for this site, to its article, just now, which also verifies that the correct address is on 106th Street. Thanks! doncram (talk) 23:08, 4 March 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Community Place, in Skaneateles, New York built in 1830, NRHP-listed in 1979. It is located south of Skaneateles Falls on Sheldon Rd. It is located south of Skaneateles Falls, New York, at 680 Sheldon Road, while 725 Sheldon Road, a quarter mile or so away, is what is reported in NRIS. The 725 Sheldon Road address was the home of the former owner of Community Place, according to people now living at 725. The 1978 NRHP document showing the incorrect address is here, in the NYSOPRHP system. Have photos of mailboxes showing house numbers of both of them. doncram (talk) 17:34, 27 September 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Lewis Mumford House is listed as being at 187 Leedsville Road in Amenia. However, since the 1999 listing the street has been renumbered (perhaps for 9-1-1) and no house exists at that number.

• Tuthill-Green House, refnum 95000066, is located per NRIS at 52 S. Main St. in Moravia, New York; however it is actually located at 59 S. Main St. The "59" can be seen in photo File:Tuthill-Green House, Moravia, United States Jul 15, 2022 08-42-16 AM.jpeg, which is house shown in NRHP document photos. The misidentification is not from NRIS data entry; the misidentification appears in the NRHP registration document. Perhaps the street was renumbered since the NRHP registration. It is located at exactly 42°42′23″N 76°25′16″W / 42.70644°N 76.42116°W / 42.70644; -76.42116 (Tuthill-Green House). The NRHP registration document is Richard Carlson (October 1994). "National Register of Historic Places Registration: Tuthill-Green House". NARA. Retrieved 2009-11-10. and includes three photos from 1994. This was confusing partly as the house actually at 52 S. Main St. is a historic house with signage. --Doncram (talk) 02:49, 19 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• House at 46 South Main Street, refnum 95000065, in Moravia, New York is in fact the house located at 63 South Main Street, as can be seen in Google Streetview.

• Albany Union Station's listing gives architect as "Sheply, Rutan & Coolidge" when the correct name is Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge. The NRHP application document includes the misspelling of Sheply rather than correct spelling Shepley, for George Foster Shepley (architect), so it is not merely an NRIS data entry error. doncram (talk) 16:53, 19 April 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Fort Stanwix National Monument, bounded by Dominick, Spring, Liberty, and James Sts., Rome, New York (National Park Service), NRHP-listed^[1]

Editor cbl62 noted, about fort stanwix: "only evidence available shows that NPS "built" reproduction of Rev War for in 1970s; that sturcture not listed; and no evidence of any involvement by NPS architects"

So this would seem to be an error in NRIS, that NPS is identified as architect/builder/engineer. --doncram 17:54, 17 October 2012 on (UTC)

NRHP inventory/nomination document for Fort Stanwix, with correspondence, does seem to clarify that there is a maintenance building but no NPS-designed or other structures worth designation there, and that the fort is a 1970s reconstruction, and that the NRHP listing is as a place or site, not at all for any archeological site aspects or any other traditional NRHP-eligible artifacts. This is an unusual case, IMHO. It seems that NPS should not be noted as architect/builder/engineer. --doncram 18:15, 17 October 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
