Lincoln Street Electric
<br />Streetlights, Twin Falls, Twin Falls
<br />County, Idaho, are ten lights on cast -
<br />iron posts along the 100 and 200
<br />blocks of Lincoln Street. Located on
<br />the east and west sides of the street in
<br />a residential neighborhood, the lights
<br />are placed close to the curb so that
<br />they have not been obscured by
<br />landscaping and thus remain an
<br />integral part of the streetscape. The
<br />lights were installed prior to 1920,
<br />before the Blue Lakes Addition was
<br />developed, the first subdivision of
<br />Twin Falls, and before electricity was
<br />available. The lights were part of
<br />developers' efforts to make the
<br />subdivision attractive. The National
<br />Register boundaries are defined by
<br />the legal definition of the city right -of-
<br />way for two blocks. Verbal boundary
<br />description: A rectangular piece of
<br />land comprising the city right -of -way
<br />for Blocks 1 and 2 of Lincoln Street,
<br />bounded by Heyburn Avenue on the
<br />north and Addison Avenue on the
<br />south as the same appears in the plat
<br />of the Blue Lakes Addition to the City
<br />of Twin Falls, Book 3 of Plats, page 29,
<br />records of the Twin Falls County
<br />Recorder. Boundary justification:
<br />The parcel is one contiguous parcel
<br />owned by the City of Twin Falls,
<br />being a platted and dedicated right -
<br />of-way for a city street, known as
<br />Lincoln Street, and constituting part
<br />of the land platted in the Blue Lakes
<br />Addition to the City of Twin Falls. It
<br />is the parcel historically associated
<br />with the subject of this nomination.

<br />Mountain Pass Tree, Pacific
<br />Northwest [location restricted], is an
<br />inscribed mountain hemlock, located
<br />at a pass in the mountains. It is
<br />situated in a stand of hemlock and
<br />subalpine fir, facing an open meadow.
<br />The tree is 86 feet tall and 29.5 inches
<br />in diameter about 5 feet above the
<br />ground. Mountain Pass Tree is
<br />associated with early efforts to
<br />develop a transportation route across
<br />the mountains. It is the only known
<br />resource remaining from the 1893 and
<br />1894 exploration, survey, and con-
<br />struction of a trail. Reasonable limits
<br />were used to define the National
<br />Register boundaries. Verbal bound-
<br />ary description: The area encom-
<br />passed by a square 200 feet on each
<br />side, centered on the tree and having
<br />sides oriented to the cardinal direc-
<br />tions. Boundary justification: This
<br />property is located within an unsur-
<br />veyed area of the public domain, with
<br />limited opportunities to establish
<br />precise natural or cultural boundaries.
<br />The area described includes portions
<br />of the adjacent timber and meadow
<br />needed to maintain the setting.

<br />George W. Johnson Park Carousel,
<br />Endicott, Broome County, New York,
<br />is a 1934 carousel in a city park. The
<br />carousel was donated to the commu.
<br />nity by George Johnson, the major
<br />employer in Endicott. The park that
<br />includes the carousel, the surround-
<br />ing working -class neighborhood, and
<br />the factory complex were all devel-
<br />oped by the Endicott Johnson Corpo-
<br />ration in the 1920s and reflect the
<br />company's influence over the history
<br />of Broome County. The boundary of
<br />the property, a circle with a radius of
<br />28 feet, contains the original 1934
<br />carousel located within the ca. 1934
<br />housing pavilion. The park, the
<br />surrounding residential working -class
<br />neighborhood, and the nearby. factory
<br />complex are all located within the
<br />designated boundaries of the Endicott
<br />Urban Cultural Park District and the
<br />Endicott Historic District. Verbal
<br />boundary description: The nomi-
<br />nated boundary encompasses only the
<br />carousel and its housing and the
<br />ground upon which they stand.
<br />Boundary justification: The nomina-
<br />tion boundary was drawn to include
<br />only the carousel itself and its hous-
<br />ing. Although the park itself may be
<br />eligible, it has not yet been evaluated
<br />due to the specific focus of this
<br />[Broome County Carousals] theme.
