However, these landscape values are by <br />no means significant in comparison with numerous other, better preserved historic <br />farmsteads in rural Hennepin County. Furthermore, none of the buildings can be <br />described as notable examples of the historic period or vernacular architecture. Although <br />they comprise an attractive rural scene, none of them possess distinguishing design <br />characteristics or exhibit extraordinary workmanship, qualities which might have <br />qualified them for the National Register of Historic Places. The authors concur with the <br />Minnesota SHPO's evaluation of this property as non-significant and therefore not <br />eligible for nomination to the National Register. <br />I
