comments/notes:
SHPO's file has not been updated and the district appears to have seen undocumented changes. The changes between the nomination and the city regarding the district's buildings appear to have been inconsistantly added over time. The city counts 37 properties in the district, but appears to do so by dividing up the original buildings (possibly counting individual addresses) which adds 14 to the original 22, although it is unknown whether or not they have actually become separate buildings. SHPO properties possibly known by alternate addresses: 830 SW 1st- 838-842 SW 1st, 85 SW Taylor, 73 SW Taylor 140 SW Yamhill- 820 SW 2nd 722-28 SW 2nd- 734 SW 2nd The city also includes these parking lots in the district: SW Yamhill SW Naito Parkway The city includes this park in the district: SE corner 1st Ave and SW Yamhill The city considers 204-218 SW Yamhill and 815 SW 2nd to be the same building (legally 815 SW 2nd) although they are listed individually in SHPO's files. The city countes 110 SW Yamhill as 4 individual entries
