Not a building but ground — a feature of the landscape that drew a claim before anyone built on it. These dossiers cover terrain where the record begins with the place itself: a rock, a hollow, a stretch of country with a reputation older than the roads around it. The filings tend toward folklore rather than eyewitness accounts, and the archive marks them accordingly — the legend is the record; there is no structure to inspect.
