Waypoint Repeatedly Removed - The Stone House
Title of the Wayspot: The Stone House
Location: 42.833270,-71.643471
City: Milford, NH USA
First I'll go over some of the Waypoint in-game history, then the history behind why this Waypoint should be restored.
There's a lot going on here. In the past year, a particular player moved back to the area and has given both the local Ingress and Pokemon Go communities headaches, removing Waypoints in several areas around town ranging from playgrounds to sculptures to historical buildings. Despite appeals being approved, new nominations being approved, and this player being told DIRECTLY that these Waypoints are allowed to stay in the game according to criteria, he continues to report them as invalid. Given enough report attempts, some reports of his slip through and get approved for removal. I can guess at some reasons this player is engaging in this behavior, but ultimately results are what matters more.
The Stone House, built by Benjamin Goodwin in 1818, is the first built and oldest building in this town. It is currently a multi-unit residential complex. There is much historical significance, as his Lovejoy Quarry supplied much of the Granite used to build several landmarks. The pillars seen on the back of the $10 dollar bill, for example.

Photos to support claim:
Please restore this waypoint.
Reach out to me directly and I can provide further information about this individual should further action against them be appropriate.
Ultimately we want to make sure these locations stay in Niantic games without having fear or stress. We just want to enjoy our games in peace.

Thank you for restoring it!
If you are able, can you let us know if we should expect it to stay this time? That would give us peace of mind.
That player literally right now is trying to report it again. Please do something. @NianticLC @NianticRN @NianticTintino-ING
