Building 32 Quartermaster's Storehouse, Fort Hancock - Historic Structure Report (Paperback): U S Department O National... Building 32 Quartermaster's Storehouse, Fort Hancock - Historic Structure Report (Paperback)
U S Department O National Park Service, Judith Q. Sullivan
R583 Discovery Miles 5 830 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

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 All historical documents, photographs, and maps available in the park archives were also examined.

In the Shadow of the United States Capitol - Congressional Cemetery and the Memory of the Nation (Paperback): Abby A Johnson,... In the Shadow of the United States Capitol - Congressional Cemetery and the Memory of the Nation (Paperback)
Abby A Johnson, Ronald M Johnson
R759 Discovery Miles 7 590 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

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.

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.
