This publication addresses the design guidelines for the White House and President's Park- including Lafayette Park, the White House and its adjacent grounds, and the Ellipse. It provides a framework of mutually agreed upon tenets that guide, but do not dictate, future development.

George Washington Birthplace National Monument Cultural Landscape Report, Vol. 1, addresses the physical development and character of the park landscape as it has evolved sin American Indian occupation. This information is presented in two chapters: a site physical history organized according to periods of landscape chronology, and a documentation of existing conditions.

This plan identifies a series of collections management issues facing the park and presents corresponding actions to address them.

This Historic Structure Report (HSR) was requested to coordinate and condense earlier research and to assess the present condition of the historic structure. Archival material relating to the construction and later treatment of the historic building, most of which can be found in the archives of VICK NMP, was reviewed and two investigations of the historic building were conducted in June and August of 2001 by Historical Architect, Jon Buono and Architectural Historian, Tommy Jones. Special attention was given to evidence of surviving historic fabric which would corroborate historical accounts and construction logs prepared during the various restoration projects.

This historic structure report (HSR) is a Level I report consisting of two volumes. Volume I includes the historical background and context of the building and its physical evolution and description; Volume II contains the appendices.

The purpose of treatment in a cultural landscape report is to direct management of a landscape based on the goal of preserving and enhancing its historic character within the context of other park management goals such as public access, natural resources conservation, recreation, and interpretation. Treatment is described through narrative and graphics at a conceptual level.

The scope of this study is to assess the building's condition and explore options for reducing life-safety hazards and improving levels of accessibility, while retaining the building's architectural character.

A Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) serves the National Park Service (NPS) in both documenting the history and significance of cultural landscapes and providing guidance for both dat-to-day and long-term management and interpretation. To this end, the CLR for the John Muir National Historic Site consists of a narration of landscape history, an inventory and analysis of existing conditions and landscape significance, and treatment recommendations and actions consistent with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.

This Historic Furnishings Report (HFR) consists of four parts: administrative information; analysis of historical occupancy; evidence of original furnishings; and recommended furnishings. It also includes illustrations, a bibliography and appendixes.

This report is Volume II- B of a three- volume historic structures report (HSR) for Weir Farm National Historic Site (NHS). Volumes I and IA address the Weir house, Weir studio, and Young studio, and include the historical background and context for the entire Weir Farm National Historic Site. Volume II- A addresses the Weir barn and the remaining outbuildings on the Weir complex site. Volume II- B describes the two buildings of the caretaker's complex, which was also part of the original Weir farm. While this report is intended to stand on its own, reference should be made to Volume I for more detail on the relationship of the caretaker's buildings to the site as a whole.

This report recommends restoration of historic spaces and installation of historic furnishings in three separate phases. Implementation of the historic furnishings plan in stages will allow for thoughtful review of the current use of space by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (the Conservancy) within the historic structure, and provide greater fl exibility in funding signifi cant rehabilitation and restoration projects. Ongoing implementation of the furnishings plans will also provide an opportunity to review and revise visitor circulation patterns and other aspects of the operating plan. It is anticipated that this ongoing review will be critical in managing the large numbers of island visitors in a safe and effi cient manner, while providing them with site interpretation of the highest quality.

In spite of the ephemeral nature of performed drama, playwrights such as Marlowe, Jonson, Webster, Fletcher, and Shakespeare were deeply interested in the endurance of their theatrical work and in their own literary immortality. This book re-evaluates the relationship between these early modern dramatists and literary posterity by considering their work within the context of post-Reformation memorialization. Providing fresh analyses of plays by major dramatists, Brian Chalk considers how they depicted monuments and other funeral properties on stage in order to exploit and criticize the rich ambiguities of commemorative rituals. The book also discusses the print history of the plays featured. The subject will attract scholars and upper-level students of Renaissance drama, memory studies, early modern theatre, and print history.

The purpose of the Bates Well Ranch Historic Structure Report is to evaluate the existing conditions of the district of 14 buildings, structures and features and make recommendations to guide the future maintenance, preservation, and rehabilitation efforts necessary to utilize the district for future use. The HSR establishes a baseline of information, both archival and field documentation, from which future actions can be taken. The scope of the HSR was restricted to evaluating the architectural integrity of the site, i.e., the specific historic features that characterize the site's significance as documented by the National Register of Historic Places nomination form. This report provides condition assessment, recommended preservation treatments and action priority for holistic building systems, as well as individual features of building exteriors and interiors, as they pertain to preserving the site's historic and architectural integrity.

An Administrative History of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park documents the changing NPS management of a site to the present day. It illuminates the choices that bring us to the experience of Harpers Ferry that we have today and provides the park with case studies to learn from and to inform future decisions and ways of approaching the resources of the park.

The following is a survey of the current memorial plaques, waysides and identification plaques found throughout Washington Square as of January 2006. The memorial plaques in the square include everything from plaques that honor individuals and their work, those that commemorate important events, to identifying tree genus and species. Current waysides contain history about the Square and Philadelphia, while the identification plaques consist of various informational markers. The accompanying map locates the forty-two plaques and waysides currently within Washington Square. This map is divided into quadrants and further divided into zones, with each plaque and wayside appropriately located on the map. Other information found in this survey includes dimensions of the metal plaque or stone wayside, material from which the marker is made, installation or dedication date (if known), and the inscription that can be found on the plaque or wayside. In addition, two photographs of the plaque or wayside are included, one being a close shot of the marker at the time this survey was conducted, and another photograph showing the single marker within the wider surroundings of Washington Square.
