This final study of Castle Williams, Governors Island National
Monument, provides a chronology of its physical evolution,
describes its architectural elements, and identifies its character-
defining features.
This report will focus on Aspet, the home of Augustus Saint-
Gaudens, and on his studio, known as the Little Studio. The scope
of this project as stated in its Project Agreement is limited to
providing an update to four previously compiled historic structure
reports for the main house (Aspet) and the Little Studio. The
current project had two primary purposes. The first was to update
the buildings' developmental and architectural history - i.e., to
document changes to Aspet and the Little Studio from 1977 to the
present, according to the Cultural Resource Management Guideline
(NPS- 28),1 while organizing the data in a chronology format. This
report includes a brief review of the architectural development of
the structures prior to 1977, as provided in the previous reports.
It will not restate physical descriptions as found in those
reports. However, if a feature has been added, changed, or removed,
such changes were documented. The second primary component of this
report was the determination and evaluation of the structures'
character- defining features (CDFs). Identifying the CDFs of each
building will help guide the park's decisions when future projects
that may impact the architectural appearance and integrity of Aspet
and the Little Studio are planned and implemented.
This Draft General Management Plan / Environmental Impact Statement
presents and analyzes four draft alternative future directions for
the management and use of Minuteman Missile National Historic Site
(the national historic site). Alternative 4, Cold War Symbols, is
the National Park Service's preferred alternative. The potential
environmental impacts of all alternatives have been identified and
assessed.
A clear, concise review guide for the FDNY F-60 Fire Guard
Certificate of Fitness Exam. Recently updated, this guide contains
two full-length practice exams and specific tips about the testing
format and site.
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.
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.
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 is part of the ongoing effort to
provide comprehensive documentation for the historic structures and
landscapes of National Park Service units in the Southeast Region.
The report details a summary of the treatment recommended to
preserve the Bodie Island Lighthouse and provide a safe and
enjoyable visitor experience.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed this
publication, Site and Urban Design for Security: Guidance against
Potential Terrorist Attacks, to provide information and design
concepts for the protection of buildings and occupants, from site
perimeters to the faces of buildings. The intended audience
includes the design community of architects, landscape architects,
engineers and other consultants working for private institutions,
building owners and managers and state and local government
officials concerned with site planning and design. This
publication, FEMA 430, is one of a series that addresses security
issues in high-population private-sector buildings. It is a
companion to the Reference Manual to Mitigate Potential Terrorist
Attacks Against Buildings (FEMA 426), which provides an
understanding of the assessment of threats, hazards, vulnerability,
and risk, and the design methods needed to improve protection of
new and existing buildings and the people occupying them. Chapter 2
of FEMA 426 provides guidance on site layout and design and
discusses architectural and engineering design considerations for
risk mitigation, starting at the property line, including the
orientation and placement of buildings on the site. This
publication represents an expansion of Chapter 2 and focuses in
more detail on information useful to the site security design team.
In addition, this publication expands on Instruction Unit IX, "Site
and Layout Design Guidance," in the Building Design for Homeland
Security Training Course (FEMA E155) and also summarizes some of
the concepts in Risk Assessment: A How-To Guide to Mitigate
Potential Terrorist Attacks Against Buildings (FEMA 452). Some of
the technical information on design against blast contained in the
Primer for Design of Commercial Buildings to Mitigate Terrorist
Attacks (FEMA 427) is also summarized. These publications are part
of the FEMA Risk Management Series (RMS).
An Historic Resource Study of Fort Hunt Park
The current historic furnishings report describes the building and
use of the structure and gives a plan for furnishing the living
room based on documentary photographs of about 1915. The
interpretive plan suggests restoring the bathroom to its original
appearance (but not furnishing it beyond its original fixtures) and
using the former bedroom as an exhibition space.
This Historic Structures Report is being prepared in order to
document the existing conditions and provide guidance for the
maintenance and preservation of the Fort Barry Balloon Hangar and
the adjacent Motor Vehicle Sheds.

This book is written specifically to provide park managers with
detailed information about the park's preservation history and
lessons learned while saving and restoring the landscape and
structures, interpreting the site for visitors, and addressing the
demands of modern-day visitors and neighbors.
The combination of portrait statue, monumental support, and public
lettering was considered emblematic of Roman public space even in
antiquity. This book examines ancient Roman statues and their
bases, tombs, dedicatory altars, and panels commemorating gifts of
civic beneficence made by the Augustales, civic groups composed
primarily of wealthy ex-slaves. Margaret L. Laird examines how
these monuments functioned as protagonists in their built and
social environments by focusing on archaeologically attested
commissions made by the Augustales in Roman Italian towns.
Integrating methodologies from art history, architectural history,
social history, and epigraphy with archaeological and sociological
theories of community, she considers how dedications and their
accompanying inscriptions created webs of association and
transformed places of display into sites of local history.
Understanding how these objects functioned in ancient cities, the
book argues, illuminates how ordinary Romans combined public
lettering, honorific portraits, emperor worship, and civic
philanthropy to express their communal identities.
Historic Resource Study: The Harry S Truman Grandview Farm, The
Wallace Houses, and The Noland House Sites: Grandview &
Independence, Missouri
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.
