This historic structure report (HSR) was written preparatory to the
rehabilitation of Building 32 by the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway
National Recreation Area (NRA) to accommodate several of the park's
functions. Rehabilitation work was completed in June 1996. As a
result, the current (2004) interior appearance of the structure
differs greatly from that described in this report. A more detailed
account of the work performed can be found in the appendix of this
report. It was determined that this historic structure report would
be a Level- B report, which required only secondary- source
research and nondestructive investigation of Building 32. The
research tasks included the review of all existing reports and
documents located at the Northeast Cultural Resources Center, at
the Boston Support Office, and in the park archives. All historical
documents, photographs, and maps available in the park archives
were also examined.
This report documents the evolution of the Gatehouse using both
primary and secondary sources, including public and private records
and collections, historic photographs, historic maps, personal
interviews, and an investigation of the building's existing
architectural fabric.
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.
Historic Resource Study: The Harry S Truman Grandview Farm, The
Wallace Houses, and The Noland House Sites: Grandview &
Independence, Missouri
A Poet, On Park Hill? Outside the Box. A colour edition of the
popular auto biographical book about the life and experiences of a
real resident on the infamous flats including a brand new section
starting from after the original publication until leaving the
estate to better things. What's it like to be one of the people who
live on those grim looking concrete creations from the mid 20th
century? Ever wondered what sort of person may be up there, looking
from their window wondering what sort of person you are? Well, this
is a unique insight into the mind of a long term resident of the
Sheffield Park Hill estate in the last stages of its original life
before the grand regeneration. Stories, facts and photographs
alongside varied poetry inspired by Park Hill, this tells a story
of one of the many who called these flats home, and proud to do so
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 document presents both a Preliminary Boundary Adjustment
Assessment and a Reconnaissance Study and includes information
common to both types of reports, such as Historic Context and
Existing Conditions, and then discusses each study in a separate
section, in which criteria for the evaluation are considered. While
judgments based on stated criteria are made in both studies, the
conclusions are not considered final or definitive. The studies
will attempt to determine the likelihood of meeting criteria, and
suggest areas for further investigation if warranted.
This study explores the multiple ways in which Congressional
Cemetery has been positioned for some two hundred years in "the
shadow" of the U.S. Capitol. The narrative proceeds
chronologically, discussing the burial ground during three periods:
a) The antebellum years; b) The years from the end of the Civil War
to approximately 1970, when the site progressively deteriorated; c)
The period from the early 1970s to 2007, when both public and
private organizations worked to preserve the physical site and the
memory of what it has been and continues to represent. This
monograph on Congressional Cemetery focuses on the dominant
narrative associated with the site: its legacy as the first
national burial ground in the United States. Given this emphasis,
the text presents a political and cultural analysis of the
cemetery, with particular focus on the participation of the U.S.
Congress. "This book makes historians and many others aware of a
fascinating and complicated history. Moreover, it not only details
the long history of the cemetery, but it uses it to explore the
nature of historic memorials generally in the creation of national
memory." Steven Diner, Chancellor of Rutgers University at Newark.
"The Johnsons have done an excellent job of mining a wide range of
sources and conveying the complex history of an institution that
merits documentation... It's stunning to realize what a who's who
exists in that space." Howard Gillette, Professor Emeritus at
Rutgers University at Camden. "The history of Congressional
Cemetery is intimately tied up in the changing demographics of its
locale, and its corresponding decline as the neighborhood around
Christ Church changed led to its emergence as a cause celebre for
historic preservationists." Donald Kennon, Chief Historian for the
United States Capitol Historical Society, and editor of The Capitol
Dome.
This historic structure report (HSR) is intended to serve a
planning document for the Ellis Island Historic Seawall
Rehabilitation, and as a resource for the long-term maintenance of
the structure. The seawall rehabilitation is a collaborative effort
between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District (COE);
the Denver Service Center (DSC) of the National Park Service (NPS);
and the Statue of Liberty National Monument/Ellis Island National
Historic Site (STLI/ELIS). This HSR will provide the Corps of
Engineers (which has submitted the schematic design for the
rehabilitation) and the park with a developmental history and
comprehensive description of the structure. Its objective is to aid
in design, rehabilitation, and maintenance decisions, so that the
seawall's unique structural problems can be addressed while
minimizing loss of historic material and alteration of the historic
structure.

items for the park to take for the future.
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 study recounts the more than thirty-year effort to define and
return the park to its historic appearance, culminating in the
major infrastructure development of the site during the Park
Service's "Mission 66" era; and it tells the full history of the
site's operation.
This historic structure report on the Furnace Group at Hopewell
Furnace National Historic Site provides a chronology of its
historical and physical evolution, describes its various parts,
identifies character- defining features, and evaluates the
integrity of the structures for the 1820- 40 period of
significance. It synthesizes and summarizes the information
contained in numerous NPS reports written between 1935 and 2005.
These research documents address the historical, archeological,
architectural, landscape, and administrative aspects of the many
components that make up the Furnace Group.
This historic structure report (HSR) was produced by the Historic
Architecture Program (HAP) of the National Park Service's Northeast
Regional Office, in order to document the development and use of
the Elisha Jones House and Shed at Minute Man National Historical
Park (NHP). The role of the HSR was to document the original
construction, as well as known changes to the structures, and
therefore record the evolution of the building. The HSR provides a
written description and photographic documentation of the current
physical appearance of the Elisha Jones House and Shed. Finally the
HSR documents the "character- defining features" of the structure,
and provides treatment recommendations for the preservation and
maintenance of the Elisha Jones House and Shed.
