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.
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.
The ultimate treatment of the visitor center that is recommended in this HSR can be described as a rehabilitation project that includes four primary components: 1. preservation and repair of the building's existing historically significant features and material, especially on the exterior and in the Lobby, Museum, and Flight Room, which are the building's principal character- defining spaces; 2. rehabilitation of the building's mechanical and electrical systems to comply with modern building, life safety, and accessibility codes, and to meet current and future programmatic demands; 3. design and construction of a new addition that will add a greatly expanded museum component to the site and accommodate new offices and other service areas; and 4. restoration of the building's most- significant features that have been lost to unsympathetic modern alterations.
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.

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.

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 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.
This is the first historical study to place the creation of the site within the larger context of the US preservation movement and the establishment of two other important presidential homes: George Washington Birthplace in Virginia, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's home in New York. The study also incorporates substantial new research on the individual items that Rose Kennedy chose to furnish the home, including items she chose not to include. This section of the study makes clear that the John F. Kennedy Birthplace is both a product of the larger preservation movement and a very personal expression of the president's mother.
The Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) for the Battle Road unit will be completed in two volumes.
