This report is a combination of original research and synthesis of
previous research and management documents. Long-term park staff
members have guided the project, and the park's extensive archival
collection has been tapped. The narrative landscape summary,
synthesized from the archive's collection of documents,
photographs, and plans, is the heart of this report. The following
report, Part 1 of the CLR, presents a chronological site history of
the property and its existing conditions in 2002 with both
narrative text and illustrations. The Landscape Analysis chapter
evaluates the significance and integrity using the terms and
definitions of the National Register of Historic Places program.
