Project Description: Replace Bridge No. 291 on SR 1348 (Old NC 90) over Duck Creek
(previously identified as Middle Little River, revised 11-14-2016) (off -site detour
planned).
SUMMARY OF HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPES REVIEW
❑ There are no National Register -listed or Study Listed properties within the project's area of
potential effects.
❑ There are no properties less than fifty years old which are considered to meet Criteria
Consideration G within the project's area of potential effects.
❑ There are no properties within the project's area of potential effects.
❑ There are properties over fifty years old within the area of potential effects, but they do not
meet the criteria for listing on the National Register.
X There are no historic properties present or affected by this project. (Attach any notes or
documents as needed.)
Date of field visit: 23 February 2015
DESCRIPTION OF REVIEW ACTIVITIES, RESULTS, AND CONCLUSIONS: HPOWeb reviewed on 22
December 2014 and yielded no NR, SL, DE, LD, or SS properties in the Area of Potential Effects
(APE). The APE for historic architectural resources extends 900 feet from either end of the
existing bridge (E-W) and 200 feet to either side of the SR 1348 (Old NC 90) centerline (N-S) to
encompass anticipated construction activities. Alexander County current GIS mapping, aerial
photography, and tax information indicated an APE of cultivated fields, woodland, and
developed parcels with resources dating mostly to the late -twentieth century (viewed 22
December 2014). Bridge No. 291, constructed in 1921, is not eligible for the National Register
according to the NCDOT Historic Bridge Survey as it is not representative of any distinctive
engineering or aesthetic type. The presence of several pre-1960 resources dictated a field
investigation, carried out on 23 February 2015.
Four frame outbuildings associated with a circa-1972 house approximately 325 east of the
existing bridge (#1704 Old NC 90) likely date to the mid -twentieth century and are
unexceptional examples of their types. West of the bridge a circa-1946 house and its
associated frame barn (#57 Little Spring Road) also lack architectural distinction, and the house

is somewhat altered. To its north stands a circa-1940 house (#197 Little Spring Road) that is
substantially altered and also an unremarkable example of a common form. No NR-listed
properties are located along the proposed off -site detour route. A finding of "no historic
properties present or affected" will satisfy both Section 106 and GS 121-12(a) compliance
requirements.
Should any aspect of the project design change, including the addition of
improvements along the proposed off -site detour, please notify
NCDOT Historic Architecture as further review may be necessary.
