Why this record matters

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q108090099. Authority coordinates are 35.087, -106.662. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
