This Abbreviated Fort Point Historic Structure Report, produced by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, National Park Service, provides new information regarding the building's military and physical history. The document contains a comprehensive collection of historic photographs, contemporary images and floor plans that can be used as tools for future interpretation and building rehabilitation.

The Long-Range Interpretive Plan assesses where we are and where we hope to be in the near future. It describes new park themes, desired visitor experience, issues and challenges and lists action items for the park to take for the future.

These pages are a feast for the eyes. Peruse them quickly or slowly. Either way, you will marvel at the beauty, the creative genius, and the legacies of peace which the constructors of peace monuments and museums have bestowed on us, their heirs. Peace monuments and museums celebrate the end of war and the expectation of peace and prosperity. They express peaceful human aspirations such as justice, tolerance, and reconciliation. They celebrate such achievements as the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, defeat of tyrannical and murderous regimes, declaration of human rights, respect for conscientious objectors, end of apartheid, non-use of nuclear weapons, racial integration, recognition of international interdependence, reconciliation of divided nations, and struggle for gender equality. Unfortunately, peace monuments and museums are largely underappreciated because they are overwhelmed by the vastly superior number of war monuments and museums everywhere in the world. This is the first book to reveal the beauty, the variety, and the meanings of peace monuments and museums. Arranged chronologically, it shows a selection of 416 peace monuments and museums from 70 countries and from all eras as far back as the Greeks and Romans. Fortunately, more peace monuments and museums are being constructed today than ever before. This creates yet another reason to study the past -- so we can know better how to build our own peace monuments and museums. What peace achievements and events do we want to memorialize? What legacies of peace do we want to bestow on future generations?

The historiography and historical archaeology of Pecos, carried out by investigators from Adolph Bandelier to Genevieve Head, sought an understanding of the story of Pecos and the complex sequence of structural change in this nearly four-hundred-year-old group of buildings. Ultimately, a century after Bandelier first speculated on the age and plan of the church, convento, and other Spanish buildings at Pecos, we have finally begun to achieve this understanding. This report will summarize those years of work, and the conclusions to be reached from them.

The following tasks are addressed in detail in the HSR: 1. Archival Research to retrieve information related to the significance and development history of the building and site. 2. Architectural investigations to retrieve and document physical evidence of the construction chronology of the building, to assess existing conditions and to formulate the scope of required preservation and conservation work. 3. Structural investigations to assess and document the existing condition of the building's structural components, and to assess the capacity of those systems to accommodate the proposed use. 4. Statement of recommended treatment philosophy consistent with the appropriate period of significance and proposed use for the buildings. 5. Statement of recommended treatment, use(s) and interpretation of the property. 6. Statement of treatment priorities.

The report is a compilation of historic data to support the rehabilitation and stabilization of the Hot Springs Complex.

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.

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.

George Washington Birthplace National Monument Cultural Landscape Report, Vol. 1, addresses the physical development and character of the park landscape as it has evolved sin American Indian occupation. This information is presented in two chapters: a site physical history organized according to periods of landscape chronology, and a documentation of existing conditions.

This Management Plan identifies a series of collections management issues facing the park and presents actions to address them.

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 report is Volume II- B of a three- volume historic structures report (HSR) for Weir Farm National Historic Site (NHS). Volumes I and IA address the Weir house, Weir studio, and Young studio, and include the historical background and context for the entire Weir Farm National Historic Site. Volume II- A addresses the Weir barn and the remaining outbuildings on the Weir complex site. Volume II- B describes the two buildings of the caretaker's complex, which was also part of the original Weir farm. While this report is intended to stand on its own, reference should be made to Volume I for more detail on the relationship of the caretaker's buildings to the site as a whole.

The Museum Management Plan for the consolidated operation of the 3 National Parks, Eugene O'Neill, John Muir, Rosie the Riveter and the affiliated area of Port Chicago. And issues facing the parks with recommendations to address them.

The Comprehensive Design Plan: The White House and President's Park provides a framework for future management of the area that will respect past traditions and meet the needs of tomorrow. This is the first comprehensive plan for the property since 1791, when George Washington designated the site for the residence of the president.

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.

2013 Reprint of 1945 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Camillo Sitte (1843-1903) was a noted Austrian architect, painter and theoretician who exercised great influence on the development of urban planning in Europe and the United States. The publication at Vienna in May 1889 of "Der Stadtebau nach seinen kunstlerischen Grundsatzen" ("The Art of Building Cities") began a new era in Germanic city planning. Sitte strongly criticized the current emphasis on broad, straight boulevards, public squares arranged primarily for the convenience of traffic, and efforts to strip major public or religious landmarks of adjoining smaller structures regarded as encumbering such monuments of the past. Sitte proposed instead to follow what he believed to be the design objectives of those whose streets and buildings shaped medieval cities. He advocated curving or irregular street alignments to provide ever-changing vistas. He called for T-intersections to reduce the number of possible conflicts among streams of moving traffic. He pointed out the advantages of what came to be know as "turbine squares"--civic spaces served by streets entering in such a way as to resemble a pin-wheel in plan. His teachings became widely accepted in Austria, Germany, and Scandinavia, and in less than a decade his style of urban design came to be accepted as the norm in those countries.

The HFR recommends use of traditional exhibits featuring original Muir objects in spaces such as the East and West Parlors, the Dining Room, and selected bedrooms. This report also includes recommendations for wall, fl oor, lighting, and window treatments throughout the house. These recommendations are based on site-specifi c evidence where available and on documented period treatments in other cases. Photographic, physical, or written documentation specifi c to individual rooms is not available for most of the house. The 2003 Historic Structures Report provides additional detail and evidence about historic fi nishes.

Eckhard Gerber is one of the most renowned contemporary architects. Over a number of decades he has created a wide range of public and private buildings that meet the highest architectural standards, despite their simplicity. Spectacular major projects in Europe, Asia, and Arabic countries have consolidated Gerber's reputation as an architect with international acclaim. Many of his works have been awarded architecture prizes. This monograph encompasses outstanding buildings from all his creative phases and illuminates their relevance in terms of history and architectural theory. Projects not yet built and a complete index of works round off the comprehensive monograph, edited by the architecture historian Frank R. Werner.
