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 Jul 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7976824. Authority coordinates are 37.742, -92.141. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
