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 Apr 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7339249. Authority coordinates are 39.357, -84.097. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
