The presentation showed the properties organized by style. Ms. Zimmerman stated it is important to know something about these homes. Ms. Fenollosa added that the grouping by period and style may be enough to do a district data sheet so whatever information we know about the houses can be captured. She continued that presently we have an address but would like to be able to associate a style and date with the owner.
