Abstract
This project deals with the Shelton-McMurphy property as an
example of an historic/cultural landscape, which contains within it
the visible signs of countless interactions between the natural and
built environments. The history and evolution of the property, in
its cultural and geographical context, will be viewed and interpreted
in visual, aesthetic, physical, and vegetative terms.
The process will be achieved through a three-tiered plan aimed
at presenting the Shelton-McMurphy property as one of the paradigms
of the ordinary American landscape worth preserving. Throughout this
process, the bonds which link the Shelton-McMurphy property to its
two neighbors, Skinner Butte and the railroad depot, will be described
and elaborated upon as they play a central role in determining this
significance.
