This historic structure report (HSR) was produced by the Historic Architecture Program (HAP) of the National Park Service's Northeast Regional Office, in order to document the development and use of the Elisha Jones House and Shed at Minute Man National Historical Park (NHP). The role of the HSR was to document the original construction, as well as known changes to the structures, and therefore record the evolution of the building. The HSR provides a written description and photographic documentation of the current physical appearance of the Elisha Jones House and Shed. Finally the HSR documents the "character- defining features" of the structure, and provides treatment recommendations for the preservation and maintenance of the Elisha Jones House and Shed.
