The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5602321. Authority coordinates are 44.589, -87.794. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

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