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 All historical
documents, photographs, and maps available in the park archives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.
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.
