The following section briefly describes the National Park Service Geologic Resources Inventory and the regional geologic setting of George Washington Birthplace National Monument and Thomas Stone National Historic Site.
Report reviews architectural details of the Life-Saving Station as one of the best preserved stations of this type remaining on the East Coast and recommendations for keeping it as it was during World War II.
The purpose of this special resource study is to evaluate the potential of adding Moton Field in Tuskegee, Alabama, to the National Park System to commemorate the role of the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II. The study applies national significance, suitability, and feasibility criteria and presents feasible management and development alternatives. This study does not include a preferred alternative.
This report will focus on Aspet, the home of Augustus Saint- Gaudens, and on his studio, known as the Little Studio. The scope of this project as stated in its Project Agreement is limited to providing an update to four previously compiled historic structure reports for the main house (Aspet) and the Little Studio. The current project had two primary purposes. The first was to update the buildings' developmental and architectural history - i.e., to document changes to Aspet and the Little Studio from 1977 to the present, according to the Cultural Resource Management Guideline (NPS- 28),1 while organizing the data in a chronology format. This report includes a brief review of the architectural development of the structures prior to 1977, as provided in the previous reports. It will not restate physical descriptions as found in those reports. However, if a feature has been added, changed, or removed, such changes were documented. The second primary component of this report was the determination and evaluation of the structures' character- defining features (CDFs). Identifying the CDFs of each building will help guide the park's decisions when future projects that may impact the architectural appearance and integrity of Aspet and the Little Studio are planned and implemented.
This Draft General Management Plan / Environmental Impact Statement presents and analyzes four draft alternative future directions for the management and use of Minuteman Missile National Historic Site (the national historic site). Alternative 4, Cold War Symbols, is the National Park Service's preferred alternative. The potential environmental impacts of all alternatives have been identified and assessed.
This report is divided into six chapters. Chapter I is the "administrative data" section, which documents the significance of the house, National Park Service involvement, and proposed use and treatment. Chapter II is an "architectural history" that describes the evolution of the house and its site, from its original construction circa 1705 to the present time. Also described is an earlier Meriam house that is believed to have been located nearby on Lexington Road, which was also standing on April 19, 1775. Chapter III is an architectural description of the existing Meriam House, its outbuildings, and other buildings on the former Meriam farm. Chapter IV provides recommendations for the future treatment of the house. Chapter V contains the appendices, including a survey of existing maintenance conditions and recommendations for repairs. Chapter VI is a bibliography of sources.
This study develops themes to explain the monument's history and to show the center as one of several land uses over time. Organized chronologically, the themes within the study include early Idaho history, prewar settlement and development, racism and discrimination, camp life, and postwar settlement and land use. The role of the federal government is recurring and dominant within these themes. The government created the wartime relocation centers deep in the American interior on federal land. However, Minidoka reaches beyond a federal land use study. Studying the site within a broader agricultural, military, and ethnic history enriches and clarifies the story.
The purpose of this report is to document the construction history of the Maurice Stephens House located at Valley Forge National Historical Park, in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
Overview how the land contributes to the Lower Columbia region.
The Mojave National Preserve Museum Management Plan identifies a series of collections management issues facing The Preserve and presents corresponding actions to address them.
The current historic furnishings report describes the building and use of the structure and gives a plan for furnishing the living room based on documentary photographs of about 1915. The interpretive plan suggests restoring the bathroom to its original appearance (but not furnishing it beyond its original fixtures) and using the former bedroom as an exhibition space.
This book is written specifically to provide park managers with detailed information about the park's preservation history and lessons learned while saving and restoring the landscape and structures, interpreting the site for visitors, and addressing the demands of modern-day visitors and neighbors.
Historic Resource Study: The Harry S Truman Grandview Farm, The Wallace Houses, and The Noland House Sites: Grandview & Independence, Missouri
This Historic Structure Report (HSR) was established with the goal of preserving and interpreting the Lincoln Home to the time period of his residency, and incorporating the neighborhood he knew and departed from to take office of President of the United States in 1861, including its relevance to a deeper understanding of Lincoln in American heritage.
The year in which the Captain William Smith House was built remains unknown. However, the archival research suggests that 1692 is the most likely date. Architecturally, the house has undergone four major changes to its exterior: circa 1742- 58; circa 1825; circa 1900- 10; and circa 1956. Despite these physical changes, the house retains much of its original fabric, and represents a fine example of late 17th- century architecture in New England.
The Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) for the Battle Road unit will be completed in two volumes. This report, Volume 1, includes a comprehensive study of the Battle Road Unit landscape from the seventeenth century to present. It identifies and documents landscape characteristics and features of the 1775 battleground landscape, as well as significant landscape features from subsequent time periods. The report is divided into three sections: site history, existing conditions, and analysis & evaluation.
The Historic Structure Report (HSR) will be readily accessible reference document for the National Park service, Lincoln Home NHS staff, and professionals working on or using the reconstructed structures. It will also be used as a tool in interpretation of the neighborhood based on historical and physical evidence. The HSR contains a bibliography of archival documentation relevant to the structure and be a resource for further research and investigation. |
