District Map

"This concentration of properties is tied together due to the numerous associations, directly or indirectly, with the Kemper Military School and College. The four buildings (36, 7, 8 and 9) making up the quadrangle of the campus are afforded primary significance, as well as #18, which has long been a part of the campus. Both #17 and #19 have been a part of the campus at various times. Primary significance is also given to #16 for the historical merit of the house, as the residence of J. Cosgrove. The two remaining residences complete the cohesive quality of the neighborhood. Therefore, these structures form a tight, cohesive unit having both architectural and historical merit. Numbers given correspond to those on the district plan. The district contains a total of 15 contributing resources and four intrusions; no demolitions have occurred since the preparation of the original nomination." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
