Regarding 218-220 High Street. While the specific building is not mentioned in the form explicitly, this is a general description of the historical significance of Burlington:
The proposed historic district is a section of the original town as designed by its Quaker settlers. Although the city grew beyond its original boundaries, this core section remains a basic center of activity, politically educationally, religiously and socially for the entire community. The historic district is a tie to the city's past. As the only section with its historic integrity intact, it is a symbol for the entire city of its past cultural endeavors.
