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 Jun 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q96384412. Authority coordinates are 42.480, -92.065. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
