What does the organization produce? That external organizations are willing to pay for HABS/HAER research is encouraging but it is not conclusive in judging effectiveness. Dollars received, after all, is an input measure; the output of any organization must still be assessed. In terms of HABS/HAER, the most usual output measure is that of transmittals--the number of drawings, photographs and histories that are transmitted to the permanent collection. In the last twelve years HABS/HAER has doubled the size of its collections at the Library of Congress and is well on its way to tripling what existed in 1980. HABS/HAER transmittal statistics continue at very high levels, usually at twenty or more times the level typically experienced during the 1970s. In FY 1992, this meant 573 sheets of measured drawings, 6,417 large format photographs, and 4,971 data pages. Another measure is the annual production of the organization's publications. HABS/HAER currently has twenty-four publications under development (the largest number produced to date, by far). In terms of quantity, HABS/HAER is an extremely productive government organization. 3. What is the quality of the organization's production? Production numbers, however impressive, do not indicate organizational effectiveness. Research organizations need to have their work evaluated in terms of quality and HABS/HAER is no different. One method is to assess the number of publications published by university presses and the professional press. Government publications do not provide a good indication of quality, as the Government Printing Office will print whatever it is paid to print. University presses, on the other hand, submit proposed manuscripts to peer and critical review by a publishing committee. The lack of funds requires that only the very finest of manuscripts be published -- one acquisitions editor for a press that is currently publishing a HABS/HAER manuscript told me that she rejects 400 book proposals for every one that she accepts! In this respect, HABS/HAER has forthcoming books with the Smithsonian Institution Press, the Johns Hopkins University Press, the American Society of Civil Engineers and others. The standard work on HABS/HAER recording is published by American Institute of Architects Press. In addition, HABS/HAER staff are routinely published by the professional journals dealing with historic architecture, engineering and industry. HABS/HAER needs to do more in this area, but much is already being accomplished. Reviews of these publications have been excellent. 4. How good is the research staff? Research organizations such as HABS/HAER are labor-intensive enterprises--as much of 90 percent of the annual budget goes to people. Further, this labor intensity is a very special kind--research is a mentally intense activity. This annual report is a compilation of the many, many contributions made by HABS/HAER staff to their respective fields, their awards and honors. Judging the effectiveness of this nation's public and private organizations is a priority for a country whose people are concerned about American competitiveness and long-term economic health. The HABS/HAER Division receives less direct appropriations than virtually any organization within the National Park Service and, perhaps, the Department of the Interior. Yet, the quantity and quality of the historical research produced continues at exceptionally high levels. The division's effectiveness can be assessed by reviewing this annual report to answer the above four questions. We invite you to peruse the pages of this annual report for those ends. Robert tapsch ii HABS/HAER Finalizes Senior Management Positions In 1992, HABS/HAER finalized all senior management positions for the division. Development of the new senior management team began with the formalization of Eric DeLony's position as chief of HAER. Next came the appointment and promotion of John Burns, long-term HABS architect, as HABS/HAER deputy chief. Finally came the appointment and promotion of Paul Dolinsky as chief of HABS, and Kim Hoagland as HABS senior architectural historian. This management team will stand HABS/HAER in good stead throughout the 1990s. Robert J. Kapsch, Ph.D., HABS/HAER Chief. Thirteen years as division chief and twenty-eight years of Federal service, where he served in a number of managerial positions with a variety of Federal agencies, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Center for Building Technology, departments of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Air Force, and the Central Intelligence Agency. Trained as an engineer, he has master's degrees from George Washington University in management and historic preservation. Kapsch recently completed the first draft of his dissertation, "Labor History of the Construction and Reconstruction of the White House, 1793-1817," from the University of Maryland's American Studies Program. Award of his second doctorate is expected in 1993. Kapsch was awarded his first Ph.D. in engineering and architecture from Catholic University in 1983. He was an American Political Science Association Congressional Fellow. He is a long-time member of many organizations including the American Society of Civil Engineers, a liaison member of the AIA Committee on Historic Resources, the Society of Architectural Historians, the Society for Industrial Archeology, the National Railway Historical Society and others. John A. Burns, AIA, HABS/HAER Deputy Chief. A graduate from the Pennsylvania State University with both a bachelor of architecture degree and a bachelor of arts degree in Art History, he has twenty years of Federal service, starting as an architect with HABS and rising to become principal architect of HABS before becoming deputy chief of the division in 1990. He was editor-in- chief for Recording Historic Structures and authored the pages on HABS documentation in Architectural Graphic Standards. Recently, he has specialized in computer applications in architecture and photogrammetry, successfully implementing the HABS/HAER CAD/photogrammetry laboratory. He is an active member of the American Institute of Architects, the Society of Architectural Historians, the Society for Industrial Archeology, and the Association for Preservation Technology. He has taught preservation courses at Marymount University and at Mount Vernon College. iii Eric N. DeLony, HAER Chief. A twenty-one-year veteran of HAER (and HAER's first professional employee), he first became interested in industrial archeology as a Fulbright Scholar at the Center for the Study of the History of Technology, Bath University, and Ironbridge. Well known for his interest in historic bridges, his first book on that subject will be published in spring 1993, by the American Society of Civil Engineers. A graduate of Ohio State University in architecture, DeLony is a product of Columbia University's historic preservation program. He is a long-time and active member of the Society for Industrial Archeology. DeLony is trustee and vice chairman of the James Marston Fitch Charitable Trust, a program established by the originator and first director of Columbia University's program in historic preservation, and Beyer Blinder Belle, architects. Recently, he was appointed to the Board of Architectural Review, Old and Historic District, Alexandria, Virginia. Paul D. Dolinsky, HABS Chief. A fourteen-year employee of HABS, he has directed hundreds of HABS projects at some of the nation's most prestigious sites--the White House, Monticello, historic Charleston, and numerous others. He also provided the leadership for the very successful HABS initiative in landscape architecture. A graduate of Penn State University in architecture and landscape architecture, he has led the way in implementing the CAD-photogrammetry approach to measured drawings, currently being used to document Washington, D.C.'s Lincoln and Jefferson memorials. He is an active member of the American Society of Landscape Architects and a liaison member of the AIA Committee on Historic Resources. iv.

The resulting drawing can be seen on page 77. HABS/HAER AT A GLIMPSE How to Use the HABS/HAER Collections The HABS/HAER collections contain documentation (measured drawings, large format photographs and histories) on approximately 28,000 historic structures and buildings throughout America. Not all structures and buildings are represented by all three types of documentation. All HABS/HAER documentation is reproducible, copyright free, and available to the public. With the exception of current projects, all HABS/HAER documentation is housed in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress (Room 339, James Madison Building, First and Independence Avenue, SE, Washington, D.C. 20540). The best way to use the HABS/HAER collections is to visit the Prints and Photographs Division during normal working hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). Some recently received material may not be available for review as yet; it is advisable to contact the Reference Desk at 202-707-6394 to be certain documentation has been processed. No appointment is necessary to review processed HABS/HAER material. For out-of-town users, the HABS/HAER collections have been made commercially available by the firm of Chadwyck-Healey in microfiche and are available in numerous libraries throughout the United States. There are numerous catalogs, finding guides and other publications available to the HABS/HAER user. A list of these can be obtained from the Prints and Photographs Division. "Review of 'The Historic American Buildings Survey: California and Washington, Parts One and Two': "The Historic American Buildings Survey, on microfiche, is the most comprehensive record of American architecture available. Parts One and Two are the complete collection of photographs, texts, and measured drawings for the most architecturally significant structures found in each state. Combined with the Oregon segment, already owned by the library, these materials constitute a major resource of primary documentation for research in architecture, historic preservation, art history, and history of the western United States." -- Library Notes, Vol. 8, No. 3, Spring 1992 How to Work for HABS/HAER HABS/HAER hires approximately 100-150 student architects and historians each year, most through its summer employment program. Interested individuals need to submit a U.S. Government Standard Form 171, Application for Federal Employment, a sample of their work, and letters of recommendation from a dean or someone familiar with their work to the Summer Program Administrator, HABS/HAER, National Park Service, P.O. Box 37127, Washington, D.C. 20013-7127. Competition for these positions is tough on the average--one out of every eight applicants is selected--so individuals are encouraged to submit their best work. Applications must be postmarked by the cutoff date, usually the beginning of March. HABS/HAER also hires a few temporary and term positions, and these are advertised through normal NPS procedures. Like the rest of the historic preservation field, permanent positions are not readily available and are usually filled by individuals with HABS/HAER experience. How to Start a HABS/HAER Project All proposed HABS/HAER projects must typically meet two criteria: (1) the structure or building proposed for documentation must be nationally significant or a primary unit of the National Park Service, and (2) the project sponsor must be willing to assume 100 percent of the direct costs of the project. HABS/HAER projects are usually initiated by contacting the chief of HABS/HAER, Robert J. Kapsch; the chief of HABS, Paul Dolinsky; or the chief of HAER, Eric DeLony. We also encourage donations of documentation that meet HABS/HAER standards. 1 FACTS AND STATISTICS Funding FY 1992 Compared to Category Funding 1991 1990 Base Funding (Appropriations) $ 945,000 + 2.8% -2.7% Add-On Appropriations 444,000 -11.7% -5.9% Project Funding (Public/Private) 1,533,000 + 9.4% +80.7% Total HABS/HAER Funding $2,922,000 + 3.5% +30% The overall funding for HABS/HAER in FY 1992 demonstrated a 3.5 percent increase over FY 1991 levels. Base funding (appropriations) showed a modest increase. For the last twelve years base funding of HABS/HAER, like most Federal organizations, has remained relatively flat, expressing Congress's concern for the Federal deficit. HABS/HAER congressional add-ons for specific projects decreased 11.7 percent, reflecting the 1990 Andrews Air Force Base Officers' Club agreement between the administration and Congress to pursue progressively lower yearly funding targets to balance the Federal budget -- made increasingly difficult by the subsequent recession. Other public and private funding for HABS/HAER increased 9.4 percent--a healthy increase but nowhere near the 75 percent increase experienced in FY 1991. This category now comprises two-thirds of the division's annual budget. The outlook for FY 1993 is for HABS/HAER funding to be at or below the funding levels of FY 1992. Base funding is expected to remain essentially the same, perhaps adjusted upwards for pay raises. Add-on appropriations are expected to continue to decline, reflecting the targets established in the Andrews Accords. Public-private project funding is more difficult to predict, however. FY 1993 may be the first year, after twelve years of continuing expansion, where HABS/HAER's budget will contract--perhaps significantly. 3 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 Fiscal Year base funding project funding total 2 FACTS AND STATISTICS HABS/HAER In Legislation The Department of the Interior Appropriations Bill for fiscal year 1992 included the following additional line items for HABS/HAER: * $197,000 for continuation of HAER work in support of America's Industrial Heritage Project (AIHP). Under the leadership of HAER Engineer/Historian G. Gray Fitzsimons, this is the fifth year of HAER support to the nine-county area of Pennsylvania comprising AIHP. * $494,000 for the West Virginia Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archaeology, under the leadership of its director, Dr. Emory Kemp. * In a late development in the Fiscal 1992 appropriations bill, Congress approved $247,000 to fund HABS/HAER work in Birmingham, Alabama. HAER's early work on steel and iron manufacturing in Birmingham led to National Historic Landmark designation and successful preservation of the Sloss Furnace in 1981. HAER Chief Eric N. DeLony is the program manager. Mr Bourn Left-right, Ford Peatross, curator of architectural design and engineering collection, Library of Congress; John E. Durrant, district director, district four, American Society of Civil Engineerings; Rowland Bowers, deputy associate director for cultural resources, National Park Service; and Susan Maxman, first vice president, the American Institute of Architects, testify on behalf of HABS/HAER at the oversight hearings before the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment, Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, House of Representatives, held in Philadelphia, PA, on May 11. See page 18 and Appendix Il for more information on hearings. 3 FACTS AND STATISTICS HABS/HAER Collections In 1992, the HABS/HAER collections passed the 28,000 mark for number of historic sites and structures documented. HABS/HAER transmitted documentation on 1,031 historic sites and structures to the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress. The HABS/HAER collections are primarily known for their drawings, photographs and histories, but these collections also include field notes, photogrammetric plates and other forms of documentation useful to HABS/HAER users. Collection management is under the supervision of Georgette R. Wilson. The size of the collections, as of October 1, 1992, were: HABS HAER Total No. of historic structures - 24,417 3,600 28,017 No. of sheets of drawings - 46,759 2,084 48,843 No. of large format photographs - 112,571 35,471 147,992 No. of data pages - 60,357 28,027 88,384 Use of the Collections The HABS/HAER collections at the Library of Congress are the most widely used of all of its special collections. According to an informal study done a number of years ago, authors, publishers, and doctoral candidates represented about 40 percent of the users. Another 40 percent were composed of architects, engineers, historians, planners and others who were going to undertake work on a specific site or structure recorded by HABS/HAER. The remaining users were model builders, house builders, and others. Students HABS/HAER has employed more than 2,500 architects, historians and photographers over the years, approximately one-quarter of whom were employed in the last decade (about 100 of whom were from other countries). Most were students, usually undertaking their first professional work experience. In fiscal year 1992, HABS/HAER employed 110 students, nineteen of which were from other countries (see page 15). Student employment with HABS/HAER is very competitive. During this fiscal year, for example, only one architectural student was selected for every eight who applied; for historians, one in ten. Projects Fiscal 1992 was a record-high year for HABS/HAER recording, continuing a trend established almost ten years ago. HABS/HAER projects are selected on the basis of two criteria: (1) the resource proposed for documentation must be nationally significant and useful in explaining, understanding and explicating America's architectural and engineering heritage, and (2) the cosponsor provides 100 percent of the project's direct costs. HABS/HAER projects are normally initiated through direct contact with the chiefs of HABS/HAER. A memorandum of agreement is entered into, covering the scope of the project. 4 HONORS AND AWARDS THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON December 4, 1992 I am delighted to send greetings to all those who are gathered in Washington, D.C. as the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation presents the National Historic Preservation Awards and the President's Historic Preservation Awards. America's historic buildings, grounds, and monuments embody our national identity, and we owe a special tribute to those who help to preserve them. The men and women who are being honored on this occasion, and all who participate in this vital work, serve as guardians of our heritage -- of the events, ideals, and individuals that have shaped our collective history. In safeguarding this history they perform another crucial service as well: they help to unify our people by recalling our common link to a rich and distinguished past. This year, as we commemorate both the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the 200th anniversary of the White House, I am especially pleased to salute those individuals who are committed to protecting the architectural symbols and cultural resources of our Nation and her people. Barbara joins me in sending best wishes for an enjoyable awards ceremony. Presidential letter to winners of the President's Historic Preservation Award, of which HAER was a recipient. See article on page 16. 5 HONORS AND AWARDS 1992 Peterson Prize winners at the awards ceremony are (left to right), Kevin Milstead (University of Texas at Austin), Marc Roehrle (University of Virginia), Brian Ambroziak (University of Virginia), Mira Metzinger (University of Illinois), William Meredith (University of Illinois), Michelle Brancaeleone (University of Illinois), and Timothy Sheridan (University of Illinois). Photographer: Christopher Gribbs, 1993 1992 Peterson Prize Winners The Historic American Buildings Survey and The Athenaeum of Philadelphia announced the winners of the 1992 Charles E. Peterson Prize at the November meeting of the American Institute of Architects' Committee on Historic Resources in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Peterson Prize is an annual award for the best sets of architectural measured drawings of an historic building produced by students and given to the Historic American Buildings Survey. The prize honors Charles E. Peterson, FAIA, founder of the HABS program, and is intended to increase awareness and knowledge of historic buildings throughout the United States. The drawings are deposited in the HABS Collection in the Library of Congress. First Place and a $1,500 award was won by a team of fourteen students: Michelle Brancaleone, Gary Cole, Christopher Colson, Michael Coonen, Bryan Fish, Lisa Jaracz, Sheila McCarthy, William Meridith, Mira Metzinger, Elizabeth Rutherford, Timothy Sheridan, Gerald Sullivan, Steven Turner, and John Yopp from the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois. They produced drawings of the Macoupin County Courthouse in Carlinville, Illinois. The Macoupin County Courthouse was designed in 1867 by architect Elijah Meyers, who later would design the Michigan, Colorado, and Texas state capitols. Capped by a monumental dome nearly 40' in diameter, this Renaissance Revival courthouse is the dominant architectural feature in the small town of Carlinville. Faculty sponsor for the team was Professor John S. Garner. The $1,000 award for Second Place was won by seventeen students from the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin and the College of Architecture at the University of Houston: Melissa Barnett, Carolyn Campbell, Quana Childs, Hugo Gardea, Linda Glaze, Diane Gray, Monica Griesbach, Dana Hutt, Barre Klapper, Theiu Luong, Kent Millard, Kevin Milstead, Laura Ostlind, David Payne, Matthew Rodda, Myoe Than, and Tara Travis. Faculty sponsors were Professors Wayne Bell, FAIA, and Barry Moore, AIA. The students produced drawings of the Neuhaus Complex, which includes three buildings built by a German immigrant family: a two-story fachwerk homestead, a stone general store, and a Greek Revival wood frame house. The Neuhaus Complex illustrates the contribution of one German immigrant family to the settlement of Hackberry in Lavaca County, Texas. 6 HONORS AND AWARDS The $750 award for Third Place was given to Brian M. Ambroziak, Salvatore J. Canciello, and Marc A. Roehrle of the University of Virginia's School of Architecture. The students produced measured drawings of Barclay House, the brick Federal-style home of Dr. James Turner Barclay. In 1850, Dr. Barclay founded the Disciples Church in Scottsville, Virginia. The Barclay House is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The faculty sponsor for this documentation project was Professor K. Edward Lay. In addition to the top prizes, the jury awarded three other entries Honorable Mention in the competition. They were: School: University of Southwestern Louisiana Students: Steven Becnel, John Campbell, Mark Connor, Britt Herring, Wang Qian, Chee Siew, and Steve Wright Faculty Sponsor: Professor Dan P. Branch, AIA Building: Crowell Lumber Mill, Longleaf, Louisiana School: Texas A & M University Students: Mark Brooks, Donna Kacmar, David Knapp, David Hawthorne, Ronn Phillips, and Charles Smith Faculty Sponsor: Professor David G. Woodcock, AIA, RIBA Building: Coulter House, Bryan, Texas School: University of Kansas Students: Kurt Brunner, Steve Harrington, Joseph Stramberg, Dennis McGrath, and Eric Zabilka Faculty Sponsor: Professor Barry Newton Building: Hollenberg Pony Express Station, Hanover, Kansas The Charles E. Peterson Prize is a joint program of HABS, The Atheneum of Philadelphia and the American Institute of Architects. Each year, the jury selecting the Charles E. Peterson Prize winners is composed of representatives from these organizations. The 1992 jurors were Bruce Laverty from The Athenaeum of Philadelphia; Donald Swofford, AIA, representing the AIA's Committee on Historic Resources; and Herbert Levy, FAIA, a Philadelphia architect representing HABS. It was an excellent year for the Peterson Prize competition. There were a total of twenty entries from fifteen universities. Sixteen of the entries are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The 156 students who participated produced 251 measured drawings for inclusion in the HABS collection. The monies for these prizes come from a special fund administered by Roger Moss, executive director, The Athenaeum of Philadelphia, initially established in 1983 through donations made by Friends of Charles E. Peterson, to honor his 75th birthday in 1981, and the cash award accompanying the 1983 National Trust for Historic Preservation Crowninshield Award made to HABS. The Charles E. Peterson Prize is administered by HABS/HAER Deputy Chief John A. Burns, AIA. 7 HONORS AND AWARDS 5011-71 SIGNETY ABAMONS SENSOTING MACOUPIN COUNTY COURTHOUSE SIGNIT UNDERSITY 035NIZ13M van U.P. * 00 First Prize: Macoupin County Courthouse, Carlinville, Macoupin County, Illinois.

Sanford of the University of Oregon was this year's winner of the Sally Kress Tompkins Fellowship, cosponsored by the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) and HABS/HAER. The Sally Kress Tompkins Fellowship, established in memory of the former deputy chief of HABS/HAER, permits an architectural historian to work on a HABS summer team. A SAH-HABS jury was composed of curator Ford Peatross from the Library of Congress, Judith Lanius from the Society of Architectural Historians, and senior historian Kim Hoagland from HABS/HAER. They selected Dena Sanford based on her thesis, which analyzed Finnish homesteads in Montana. Sanford worked on the HABS team in Natchez, Mississippi, documenting the antebellum house of a free black man, William Johnson. Sanford was presented with the fellowship award by HABS/HAER Deputy Chief John A. Burns, AIA, at the business meeting of the Society of Architectural Historians' annual meeting, April 1-5, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Funds for this fellowship are administered by David Bahlman, executive director, Society of Architectural Historians. Those wishing to contribute to the Sally Kress Tompkins Fund may do so by sending their checks to the Sally Kress Tompkins Fund, c/o David Bahlman, Executive Director, Society of Architectural Historians, 1232 Pine Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107-5944. Those wishing to apply for the Sally Kress Tompkins Fellowship, or desiring additional information on the program, may write to A.

Photographer: Sara Amy Leach, 1992. 11 HONORS AND AWARDS CAMM/HAER Sally Kress Tompkins Maritime Internship Immediately following the death in 1989 of HABS/HAER Deputy Chief Sally Kress Tompkins, senior members of the maritime preservation community contacted Chief Robert Kapsch and stated that they would like to have a separate program in honor of Sally's considerable contributions to maritime recording and in order to continue training of young professionals in it. What resulted was the Council of American Maritime Museums (CAMM)/HAER Sally Kress Tompkins Maritime Internship. Half of the funding is contributed by CAMM and half by HAER. The fund is administered by Peter Neill, South Street Seaport Museum, on behalf of CAMM. The first CAMM/HAER Sally Kress Tompkins Maritime Intern, selected in 1992, was Karl Bodensiek of Roger Williams College in Bristol, Rhode Island. Karl worked as a member of the HAER team that prepared drawings of the bow of the Clipper ship SNOW SQUALL, at the Spring Point Museum at South Portland, Maine. The drawings, which are archeological in character because the only remains are sections of the bow, will aid in understanding clipper ship design and construction, and will be used by the museum to curate and interpret the SNOW SQUALL bow as an exhibit. Kenneth L. Anderson Award Kenneth L. Anderson, Jr., former chief of the HABS, passed away on September 18, 1991. In his memory, HABS, in cooperation with the Department of Architecture at Texas Tech University, his alma mater, has established the Kenneth L. Anderson Memorial Fund. The fund will provide a monetary gift to a student who produces the finest set of measured drawings to HABS standards of a Texas structure, donated for inclusion in the HABS collection in the Library of Congress. The competition is open to all students from the five accredited schools of architecture in Texas. For further information, and for those wishing to make a donation, contact: Professor John White, Department of Architecture, P.O. Box 4140, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas 79409. HAER/SIA Fellowship Awarded The recipient of the HAER/Society for Industrial Archeology (SIA) fellowship was Susan Appel of Illinois State University for research, travel, writing time, and supplementary materials in preparation of a publication on the architectural history of the pre-Prohibition brewery. Her work centers on the cities of Chicago, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and St. Louis, and thus document the Midwest's contribution to this significant American building type. The award was made at the annual meeting of the SIA in Buffalo by SIA President David Salay. 12 AXONOMETRIC HONORS AND AWARDS 13 Clipper Ship SNOW SQUALL Bow. Delineator: Karl N. Bodensiek, 1992. HONORS AND AWARDS DE Dean A. Herrin Kenneth D. Rose HAER Historians Awarded Doctorates Dean Herrin, HAER staff historian, received his doctorate in American history from the University of Delaware in January 1992. He was a fellow in the Hagley Program in the History of Industrial America, a program jointly sponsored by the Hagley Museum and the University of Delaware's History Department. His dissertation was titled "Breaking the Stillness': The Coal Industry and the Transformation of Appalachian Virginia, 1880 - 1920." Herrin is currently the supervisory historian on the Mon Valley program, Wright- Patterson Air Force Base, and other projects. Kenneth D. Rose received his master's degree from the University of Washington in 1985 and, in 1986, was admitted into the doctoral program in history at the University of California, Los Angeles. He completed his doctorate in fall 1992, while working for HAER. Rose's duties have centered on the production and publication of industrial inventories of the nine-county region of the America's Industrial Heritage Project in southwest Pennsylvania. He is currently revising his dissertation, "American Women and the Repeal of Prohibition," for publication. 14 HONORS AND AWARDS US/ICOMOS and HABS/HAER In 1992, the HABS/HAER/ICOMOS intern program was once again in full swing. This year, nineteen students from fifteen countries made major contributions to this summer's documentation program. The exchange program, established by HABS/HAER and US/ICOMOS in 1984, is under the overall direction of Terry B. Morton, president, US/ICOMOS, and Russell V. Keune, vice president for programs, US/ICOMOS. Ellen Delage, program officer, US/ICOMOS, administers the intern program, which locates qualified applicants through the various ICOMOS committees in the participating countries. The program is administered at HABS/HAER by Deputy Chief John Burns. Since the program's inception in 1984, HABS/HAER has sponsored 108 interns from eighteen countries -- HABS/HAER remaining, by far, the largest sponsor of ICOMOS interns. Once they have applied, the applicants are evaluated by the same criteria as their American counterparts and must possess equivalent skills in their chosen disciplines. They are also paid a stipend equivalent to that of their American coworkers. HABS/HAER transferred approximately $79,000 to US/ICOMOS in fiscal year 1992 to support the stipends paid to these interns. 1992 US/ICOMOS-HABS/HAER Summer Interns Argentina Hungary Daniella Trettel, National University of Cordoba Atilla Kovacs, Technical University of Budapest Austria Italy Albert Aflenzer, Technical University of Vienna Elena Garlini, Graduate School of Architecture, Venice; Columbia University Bulgaria Orlin K.

Eve, Ironbridge Institute In addition, Emma Jane Dyson of the United Kingdom completed a year working in HAER, the third ICOMOS student selected to undertake a year's assignment in the HABS/HAER offices in Washington, D.C. 15 HONORS AND AWARDS HAER Historic Bridge Initiative Wins Preservation Award HAER was recently honored by a Presidential Historic Preservation Award, in recognition of its nationwide historic bridge-survey project. Deemed exceptional by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, presenter of the award under the auspices of the White House, the HAER project was recognized for identifying the importance of the prefabricated metal truss bridge as one of the nation's greatest engineering and manufacturing achievements, and compiling a visual record of it before federal and state bridge- replacement programs destroyed them. Bridges became the first category of historic resources to be comprehensively inventoried by HAER and listed in the National Register of Historic Places. As the result of the HAER project and increased public awareness of the bridges' importance, their replacement has substantially decreased. Eric DeLony, chief of HAER and an expert on historic U.S. bridges, accepted the award at a December 1992 ceremony in Washington, D.C., in the Cash Room in the U.S. Treasury Building. DeLony has compiled the volume Landmark American Bridges, to be published by the American Society of Civil Engineers later this year. " You are doing important work, and we are privileged to view it first-hand. ASCE is proud of our association with HAER, and I am particularly pleased that we have several joint projects in the works." - James E. McCarty, P.E., President, American Society of Civil Engineers in a November 17, 1992, letter to HABS/HAER Chief Robert Kapsch "Held in Common," HABS/HAER Exhibition Receives Recognition "Held in Common: Historic Architecture in America's National Parks," another current exhibition at the [National Building Museum], honors the National Park Service on its 75th anniversary. The show is a photo-and-text narrative that succinctly proves its point: Buildings in astonishing variety and number (more than 20,000 of them) make up an important aspect of the Park Service mission, which is usually thought of exclusively in terms of preserving the natural environment. It is a delightful, absorbing, compact story. One begins at the beginning, with the archaeological remains of ancient Anasazi religious structures--kivas--in the Frijoles Canyon of Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico, and arrives in our own time with the Victorian mansions and shotgun houses of the Martin Luther King National Historic Site in the Sweet Auburn section of Atlanta. In between are stops at Skagway, Alaska, site of the Klondike gold rush; the Lowell, Mass., cotton mills; the fabulous Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone; and other terrific sites. -- Benjamin Forgey, The Washington Post, December 14, 1991. The exhibition was on display at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., December 6, 1991, to February 2, 1992. Developed by HABS/HAER historian Caroline R. Bedinger, the exhibition is currently traveling to other locations by way of the Harper's Ferry Travelling Exhibit Program. 16 ACTIVITIES HISTORIC AMERICAN SURVEY HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD Dr Washington Dost - Above, HABS/HAER collections management specialist Georgette Wilson and collections management assistant Monica Paprocki set up exhibit at the National Archives, commemorating the transfer of HABS/HAER records to the archives. For more information on the transfer of records and exhibit, see page 24. Photographer: Amy Young, 1992. 17 ACTIVITIES Congressional Hearings On May 11, 1992, an oversight hearing was held before the subcommittee on Energy and the Environment of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs at the First Bank of the United States in Philadelphia on the Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record (HABS/HAER), Chairman Peter H. Kostmayer presiding. This was the first congressional oversight hearing held on HABS/HAER. In his opening statement, Kostmayer stated that the reason for the hearing was to review "the ability of HABS and HAER to respond to new projects" in light of "infrequent and small appropriation increases over the past years," and to review the "advisory boards for HABS and HAER [that] were sunsetted in the 1970s," and "the need to reestablish these noncompensated advisory boards." Oral testimony was presented by Susan Maxman, first vice president of the American Institute of Architects; Rowland Bowers, deputy director, Cultural Resources, National Park Service, accompanied by Robert Kapsch, chief of HABS/HAER; John Burns, AIA, deputy chief of HABS/HAER; and Paul Dolinsky, chief of HABS; John E. Durrant, district director, District Four, American Society of Civil Engineers, accompanied by Edward Kuchefski, director of the Fairmont Water Works Interpretative Center, Philadelphia Water Department; and Ford Peatross, curator of Architectural and Engineering Collections, Library of Congress. Additional testimony was provided by David Bahlman, executive director, Society of Architectural Historians; and Jeff Marshall, director of historic preservation, Bucks County Conservancy. Additional written testimony was provided by Congressman Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii; and James P. Cramer, executive vice president/CEO, American Institute of Architects, among others. A congressional hearing on a program as small as HABS/HAER (with a budget of less than $1 million a year) is extraordinary. Congressional hearings usually focus on much larger subjects. The single most prevalent issue throughout the hearing was the need to reestablish the HABS/HAER advisory committees. The second most important issue was the need to increase the funding level of the HABS/HAER appropriation. The proceedings of this hearing were published by the U.S. Government Printing Office and are for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, Congressional Sales Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 (ISBN 0-16-039245- 4). For the convenience of our readers, this material has been reproduced as Appendix II. "Because of their holistic approach and extraordinary vision, these programs have brought about an increased awareness of preservation needs and preservation technology. In the initial memorandum from Charles Peterson, architect with the National Park Service, to his superiors, he stated that such a survey, 'should be a list of building sites which include public buildings, churches, residences, bridges, forts, barns, mills, shops, rural outbuildings, and any other kind of structure of which there are good specimens extant and those structures which by fate or accident are identified with historic events.'" "Due to the infrequent and small appropriation increases over the past few years and the increasing costs of carrying out its mission, the ability of HABS and HAER to respond to new projects is now in serious jeopardy." --Hon. Peter H. Kostmayer (PA), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment 18 ACTIVITIES HABS/HAER Activities at Library of Congress A six-month project that expands access to HABS/HAER's data base for the staff at the Library of Congress' Prints and Photographs Division was initiated in August 1992. The project, developed and implemented by Collections Management Specialist Georgette R. Wilson, will facilitate the processing of HABS/HAER drawings, photographs, and histories transmitted to the Prints and Photographs Division. The increased application of HABS/HAER's data base will benefit researchers and the interested public by providing library staff with the ability to conduct data-base searches, print updated reports, and implement time-saving steps for processing materials. After six months, the project will be reviewed and evaluated, and final procedures will be instituted. In FY 1992, the collections management section increased transmittals to the Prints and Photographs Division by 51 percent over FY 1991 numbers. This extensive documentation was reviewed, edited and collated by Kathryn Jackson, HABS/HAER administrative assistant. This past year, the Prints and Photographs Division increased its staff, so that it is now possible for the collection to become available to researchers more quickly. HABS/HAER benefitted from this through the assignment of processing assistants Megan Keister and Greg Marcangelo to maintain the HABS/HAER collections, with temporary part-time help from Vickie Crawley, Kurt Helfrich, and Alberta Prosser. Under the supervision of Helena Zinkham, head of the processing section, and in consultation with C. Ford Peatross and Cristina Carbone, curators of the Architecture, Design, and Engineering (ADE) Collections, and Marilyn Ibach, reference specialist in architecture, this team processed eleven states and accessioned four batches of HABS/HAER transmittals consisting of photographs, drawings, histories, and field notes on more than 100 structures. Chadwyck-Healey continued to copy the material onto microfiche for distribution. On July 8, HABS/HAER conducted a tour of the HABS Harpers Ferry summer team and the CAD photogrammetry laboratory to familiarize the library staff with manual and automated recording technologies. Those attending were Cristina Carbone, curator, Curatorial Division; Karen Chittenden, cataloger, Processing Section; Vicki Crawley, processing assistant, Processing Section; Kurt Halfich, summer intern; Tracy Meeleib, processing assistant, Processing Section; Anne Mitchell, processing assistant, Processing Section; Diane Tepfer, research assistant, Curatorial Division; Megan Keister, and Greg Marcangelo. They were accompanied by Robert Kapsch and Caroline R. Bedinger of HABS/HAER. The Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, under the leadership of Chief Stephen Ostrow, and Assistant Chief Elisabeth Parker, has made immense advances in staffing and in processing record numbers of HABS/HAER documentation being sent to the library. It hasn't been too many years since Mary Ison and C. Ford Peatross were the sole Prints and Photographs staff responsible for HABS/HAER records. The increase in staffing should eliminate the backlog of transmittals dating from the 1980s. 19 ACTIVITIES HAER and SHOT Establish a Cooperative Agreement for Fellowship Program HAER and the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) established a cooperative agreement in 1992. The principal purpose of this agreement is to forge a closer working relationship with SHOT, an international organization composed of leading scholars in technological history. Specifically, HAER and SHOT will initiate a history fellowship program which will provide funds for historical studies concerned with material culture. A HAER/SHOT committee will be established to evaluate proposals from graduate and post-graduate students for funding consideration. The committee will encourage studies that encompass not merely descriptive material on specific industrial sites or technologies but that analyze and link such material to broader contextual issues of technology and society. Based either in the HAER Washington, D.C., office or the field, each fellow will receive $2,500 per month, with funding available from one to eight months. A call for proposals will be issued through SHOT and selections will be made in FY 1993. The HAER staff involved in the HAER/SHOT agreement includes historians Gray Fitzsimons and Dean Herrin, and Chief Eric DeLony, as well as Chief Robert Kapsch. SHOT members Martin Reuss, Carroll Pursell, and Jeffrey Stein greatly assisted in establishing this program. All look forward to many years of fruitful work on a variety of history projects. Individuals interested in this program should write to Eric DeLony, Chief, Historic American Engineering Record, National Park Service, P.O. Box 37127, Washington, D.C. 20013-7127. CAD/Photogrammetry Lab Update Over the past two years, HABS/HAER has built a capability for both photogrammetry and computer-aided drafting, or CAD. The HABS/HAER CAD/Photogrammetry Laboratory started with five computer work stations linked in a network, with a high-resolution digitizing table and photogrammetric software loaded on one of the stations. Four of the work stations are Hewlett-Packard Vectra 486/25T computers, while the fifth is a 486/33T. All have 8MB RAM, 80MB hard drives, 1.2MB 5.25" floppy drives, and 20" high resolution monitors. The file server is a Compaq Deskpro 386/20 with a 300MB hard drive. A 300MB tape backup and an uninterruptible power supply help to protect the system. The operating language is MS-DOS 5.0, the network software is Novell Netware, Version 2.2, and the CAD program is AutoCAD, Release 11, all National Park Service standards. A Versatec "B" size (11" X 17") laser plotter is used for small plots, while the final, archival plots of the measured drawings are made on a laser plotter by a reprographics service. With the exception of the photogrammetric cameras and digitizing software, all the hardware and software are readily available, off-the-shelf products. The photogrammetric camera system consists of two Linhof Metrika 45 cameras, one with a 90mm lens and the other with a 150mm lens. The Metrikas are semi-metric cameras that produce negatives meeting HABS/HAER standards (they produce 4" X 5" negatives on 5" roll film). The 90mm lens is considered a wide angle, the 150mm a normal focal length. Both lenses have click stops on their focusing rings, so they can be locked at known focal distances. A glass plate with a reseau grid (a pattern of cross hairs) is held against the film by a vacuum at the moment of exposure so that the grid is superimposed on the negative. The optical characteristics of the lenses and reseau grids are measured and plotted so that the optical distortions in the camera do not compromise the accuracy of measurements taken from the photographs. This camera calibration data is part of the survey control. They were the first cameras of their type sold in the United States. The photogrammetric software is Desktop Photogrammetry's Photocad-Multi for three- dimensional measurements and Photocad-Single for two-dimensional (planar) measurements. Both programs operate from a pull-down menu within AutoCAD and the resulting drawings are AutoCAD files. The software uses mathematical algorithms to locate the known points in three-dimensional space. Once the three- 20 ACTIVITIES dimensional model is established and verified, other points can be digitized and measured from the photographs and a CAD drawing produced. For three-dimensional use, a structure is photographed from a minimum of three camera stations, usually from left-of-center, center, and right-of-center. Targets are placed in the field of view as common reference points among the photographs. At least one known dimension must also be visible in common among the three views, as well as a minimum of seven other common points. Dimensions are extracted by digitizing from enlargements of the photographs. Drawings are generated by connecting a series of points identified on the photographs with lines. For curved elements, the closer the points are spaced, the higher the ultimate resolution and accuracy, and the smoother the curved lines of the drawing. An Altek AC30 Datab 24" X 36", high resolution (0.001" resolution with +0.003" absolute accuracy), continuously variable backlit digitizing table, with a bullseye reticle pickup sensor and 5X magnifier, is used to digitize the enlargements. For two- dimensional use, only a single photograph is needed as long as you have known coordinates in real space for the four points in the plane to be digitized. The two-dimensional program is ideal for extracting dimensions in a single plane and for low-relief surfaces because the drawing is generated by tracing outlines and edges in that plane rather than by connecting a series of points as in the three-dimensional program. We have found that CAD/Photogrammetry drawings that include decorative features, such as the relief carvings in the frieze of the Lincoln Memorial, require an enormous amount of memory because one is essentially plotting topographic lines by connecting a series of points with short lines. The ornament carving for a single stone of the Lincoln Memorial frieze requires 2MB of memory, making the drawing file for the whole elevation enormous, which slows down the CAD program. The result is that we are producing CAD files far larger than architects normally produce (i.e., orthographic drawings) and more like civil engineering CAD files that include topographic data. The problem is especially acute when drawing files increase beyond 6MB in size. We are exploring software solutions such as freezing portions of the drawings, turning off layers, etc. We are also increasing the RAM memory to 16MB in each work station. However, these improvements will provide only incremental increases in computational speed, so we are purchasing a Hewlett-Packard Apollo 900 Model 730 UNIX workstation with a 66MHz DPA-RISC processor, 64MB RAM, 84 MB of disk space, and a 19" color graphic display. Two Hewlett-Packard HP700/RX terminals with 19" color monitors, and a Series 6400 Model 2000DC tape backup that uses Digital Audio Technology (DAT) to store up to eight gigabytes of compressed data files, will complete the new UNIX system. The increase in computing power from an MS-DOS 486/33 to a UNIX machine is significant. We expect that most CAD needs will continue to be met by our existing 486/25 and 486/33 computers with the additional 16MB of RAM. The capabilities of the UNIX stations will be most apparent with the largest and most complex drawing files requiring the most computational power. We will upgrade the DOS stations to AutoCAD 12 when we add the UNIX version of AutoCAD to the new work stations. We are also upgrading the network to Novell Netware version 3.11 with a Novell NFS to link the UNIX system to our existing network. 21 ACTIVITIES West Virginia University Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archaeology The Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archaeology at West Virginia University is an interdisciplinary professional and academic institute supporting public and private research, educational programs and projects concerned with the history of technology, industrial archaeology, and the preservation of engineering works. Since its inception in 1989, the institute has been the recipient of annual federal appropriations administered through a cooperative agreement between the institute and HABS/HAER. Additionally, the institute undertakes public and private contract research in a variety of areas. This year's federal appropriation of $494,000 is currently supplemented by $314,106 in sponsored contract work. An advisory committee involving leading agencies concerned with cultural resource management issues approves the institute's congressionally appropriated budget and work plan. Members of the committee are Katherine H. Stevenson, associate regional director, Mid-Atlantic Regional Office, NPS; Randy Cooley, director, Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission (formerly America's Industrial Heritage Project); Steven Lubar, curator, Division of Engineering and History, Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution; Martin Reuss, senior historian, Office of History, Corps of Engineers; William M. Drennen, commissioner, Division of Culture and History, State of West Virginia; Brent D. Glass, executive director, Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission; David A. Simmons, Timeline, Ohio Historical Quarterly; Gerald E. Lang, dean, College of Arts and Sciences, West Virginia University; Ronald L. Lewis, chair, Department of History, West Virginia University; William W. Reeves, secretary, West Virginia University Research Corporation; and Robert J. Kapsch, chief, HABS/HAER, NPS. Professionally, the institute employs a cadre of historians, delineators, engineers, architects, drafting specialists and landscape specialists, several of whom are veterans of HABS/HAER summer teams. The work of the Institute continues a long tradition of cooperation between West Virginia University and HABS/HAER, which began with Emory Kemp's involvement in 1972. Kemp, founder and director of the institute, has worked on a number of HABS/HAER projects since that time. This tradition of cooperation continues to the present, exemplified in the fact that the institute had dedicated $114,651 to HABS/HAER documentation over the past three years. Specifically, it sponsored 1990 documentation of nineteenth-century industry in Wheeling and Fairmont, West Virginia, historic nineteenth-century cast and wrought-iron bridges in Pennsylvania in 1991, and a similar historic bridge project in Ohio in 1992. Studies in the history of technology are one area of emphasis for the institute. A monograph series in the history of technology is ongoing, and the first installment, The Alexandria Canal: Its History and Preservation, has just been published. Other important projects technology include a video production airing on Public Broadcasting Service on covered bridges of the Virginias; a National Register of Historic Places nomination and landscape survey of Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park, and a historic furnishing report for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway's depot at Thurmond, West Virginia. One of the institute's major successes of 1992 involved the first-ever field school in the techniques of industrial archeology. This six-week summer course, conducted in West Virginia's eastern panhandle, was taken by nine students for graduate credit through the WVU Department of History. Under the auspices of Emory Kemp and Billy Joe Peyton (HAER Alumnus), institute staffers John Nicely, Lee Maddex [HABS/HAER alumnus], and Edward Winant instructed students in the preparation of work to HABS/HAER standards. Components of the course included mapping and surveying, preparation of field sketches and measured drawings, large format archival photography, and researching local history. After one-and-a-half weeks in the field, each student prepared measured drawings and large format archival photographs of select 22 ACTIVITIES remains of water-powered industry on Virginius Island in Harpers' Ferry National Historical Park and the historic Boteler/Shepherdstown Cement Mill in Shepherdstown. The experience proved intensive and challenging, while it offered real-life experience in the world of historic-site recording and prepared participants for potential work in the field. Final results were excellent, and plans are being made for the next field school, to be held in 1994. Perhaps the major accomplishment in the industrial archeology recording arena for 1992 is a book being published by Krieger Publishing Company. Prepared by the Institute and field tested and critiqued by field school students, it contains eleven essays prepared by leading professionals in the field on techniques of industrial archeology. Student drawings from the class are also included as illustrative material. The book is intended to be suitable for use by professionals and amateurs alike. A pioneering project dealing with the preservation of engineering works is also underway at the Institute. This multi-year project is being accomplished in cooperation with the Constructed Facilities Center at West Virginia University's College of Engineering, and involves non-destructive testing of historic building materials. Current technology allows accurate testing of physical properties of building materials through destructive testing only. For this reason, the institute is extremely interested in developing non-destructive techniques which can be portable in nature and used in the field. Miniaturized field-testing equipment is now under development which can be used to investigate and determine the physical properties of wood, cast and wrought iron, steel, and masonry structures. Thus far, results on historic cast and wrought iron have proved encouraging and compare favorably with traditional destructive testing methods. Initial field tests on nineteenth-century wooden covered bridges in West Virginia have been completed. More tests are being considered on the Wheeling Suspension Bridge, a National Historic Landmark and the world's longest suspension bridge when built, as well as the 1859 Wheeling Custom House, a structure that utilizes an all-ircn framing system. After further field testing, it is anticipated that the equipment will eventually be marketed to the preservation community for use in a wide variety of structures. As witnessed by its wide range of activities, the Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archaeology is now coming of age as a national center in the history of technology, industrial archeology, and the preservation of engineering works. As time passes, and the institute continues to grow and mature, and it is anticipated that the level of cooperation with HABS/HAER will reach new heights. As it does, the mutual benefits to each organization will increase accordingly. 23 ACTIVITIES Historically Black Colleges and Universities Initiative HABS/HAER transferred funds to the National Trust for Historic Preservation to further minority careers in the field of historic preservation. The Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and Howard University in Washington, D.C., received funds to assist with the expenses relating to the development and implementation of HABS measured-drawings courses. Howard's program, under the instruction of Edward D. Dunson, AIA, associate pofessor of achitecture, offered the course in the spring semester of 1992. Ten students are currently enrolled in the course. Tuskegee offered the course in summer of 1992, taught by HABS Alumna Kim Harden, AIA. Howard University Internship Program Since October 1991, HABS/HAER has offered two internships each year for minority students enrolled in the architecture program at Howard University. Albert Debnam, Nichole Duren, Crystal Willingham, and Sanford Garner have worked in the HABS/HAER offices, gaining practical experience in documentation skills. Under the auspices of their cooperative agreement, HABS/HAER and Howard University are proud to offer this opportunity to architecture students again in 1993. National Archives Establishes Record Group for HABS/HAER Records After several months work, HABS/HAER has been assigned its own record group at the National Archives, and many administrative files have been deposited in it. July 1, 1992, Assistant Archivist Trudy Huskamp Peterson established Record Group 515, through the efforts of HABS/HAER Collections Management Specialist Georgette Wilson. She and the division were greatly assisted by archivist Jerry Wallace of the National Archives. Transfer of administrative files to the National Archives was organized by HABS historian Monica M. Paprocki. These materials included HABS and HAER publications, photographs of individuals associated with the programs, posters, administrative records, copies of the database, awards and certificates, and other information pertinent to the history of the programs. In addition, twenty boxes of early HABS records stored in a government warehouse since the 1960s were released to the National Archives for inclusion in it. Although several people have undertaken histories of the HABS and/or HAER programs (e.g., Wilton Corkern's dissertation, "Architects, Preservationists, and the New Deal: The Historic American Buildings Survey, 1933-1942" [George Washington University, 1984]; John Burns' "Architects and the Historic American Buildings Survey, 1933-1990" [AIA, 1990], and Elise Vider's thesis, "The Historic American Buildings Survey in Philadelphia, 1950-1966: Shaping Postwar Preservation" [University of Pennsylvania, 1991), these records have not largely been previously available to scholars interested in the history of the HABS and HAER programs. HABS/HAER currently has plans to expand Record Group 515 through donations of missing materials. HABS and HAER measured drawings, large format photographs, and histories will remain in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress. In conjunction with the assigning of a record group number, an exhibit of photographs, copies of original documents, and drawings reflecting the establishment of the HABS and HAER programs was developed by Georgette Wilson, Monica Paprocki and Caroline Bedinger. The exhibit was on display at the National Archives October 5-9, 1992. To commemorate this milestone, a ceremony and reception was held at the National Archives on October 7, in which HABS founder Charles E. Peterson presented to Archivist of the United States Don W. Wilson his original hand-written memorandum establishing the program. In his comments, Peterson stated that the memorandum was drafted on a Sunday afternoon on a government legal pad. "Maybe I shouldn't have taken that pad home, but I did," said Peterson. The draft memo had been 24 ACTIVITIES stored in a safe in Philadelphia over the last several decades. Its transfer to the National Archives was facilitated by Roger Moss, executive director, The Atheneum of Philadelphia. Also speaking were Jerry L. Rogers, associate director for cultural resources, NPS; Kapsch, and Trudy Peterson. It is extremely unusual for the National Archives to establish individual record groups for government organizational units less than bureau size--for the Department of the Interior, this would mean a single record group for the National Park Service, but not for components of the National Park Service. Establishment of Record Group 515, therefore, honors the contributions of HABS/HAER over the years and it represents a very important step toward preserving the administrative records of HABS/HAER. Officials in attendance at the National Archives ceremony were, left to right, Jerry L. Wallace, National Archives; Robert J. Kapsch, Chief of HABS/HAER; Jerry L. Rogers, Associate Director for Cultural Resources; Charles E. Peterson, FAIA, founder of HABS; Don W. Wilson, Archivist of the United States; and Trudy H. Peterson, Assistant Archivist, National Archives. Photographer: Amy Young, 1992 25 ACTIVITIES National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) Identifies HABS/HAER Data Base for Preservation The National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), under contract to the National Archives, reviewed more than 9,000 existing federal electronic data bases to identify the most important ones to preserve in perpetuity. Of the 789 identified for preservation, the HABS/HAER database used to index 27,000 historic structures documented by HABS/HAER over the last 60 years was one of those selected. Annually thereafter, HABS/HAER will transfer a tape containing an updated copy of that database to the National Archives to be included as part of Record Group 515, Records of the Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record. Should a cataclysmic collapse of the HABS/HAER database ever occur, the National Archives copies would be available to reconstruct a new operating system. Eastern Office of Design and Construction's Photographs Added to the HABS/HAER Collection During 1992, the collections management section transmitted drawings, photographs, and histories on more than 1,000 structures to the HABS/HAER collections in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress. Included in this transmittal are photographs from the Eastern Office of Design and Construction's (EODC) photographic collection. EODC, a division within the National Park Service that once included the HABS program, restored or otherwise studied an enormous body of significant historic structures during the period of 1952-66. For this reason, the Park Historic Architecture Division, NPS, (temporary repository of the EODC photographs) and HABS/HAER entered into an agreement for the purpose of integrating these important photographs into the HABS/HAER collection on June 1, 1992. The EODC photographic transmittal project commenced. HABS/HAER summer historian Brian Cary worked on this project under the supervision of Collections Management Specialist Georgette R. Wilson, in cooperation with other Washington staff. More than 7,000 images of structures, landscapes, artifacts, and personnel from 155 of the National Park Service areas made up the collection. During the 12-week project, 1,140 photographs and negatives of 118 structures were selected for inclusion in the HABS/HAER collection. The transmittal packet for each structure consisted of a data entry sheet, master index card, cover sheet, caption sheet, prints and negatives. Images were processed according to HABS/HAER specifications. The EODC photographs were useful in expanding and enhancing the existing HABS/HAER collections. The entire EODC collection eventually will be housed at the Harpers Ferry Center in Virginia. Randall J. Biallas, Chief Park Historic Architect, was instrumental in establishing this arrangement, so as to get this important material into the publicly accessible HABS/HAER collections. 26 ACTIVITIES HAER Mon Valley Office Burns The HAER Homestead, Pennsylvania, field office narrowly averted disaster on April 10, 1992, when the building next door was set on fire by an arsonist. The HAER office was heavily damaged by smoke and water, but through the quick action of HAER supervisory historian Joel Sabadasz and HAER supervisory architect Christopher Marston, both of whom carried records to safety, nothing valuable was lost. With the help of the Steel Industry Heritage Corporation, cosponsor of the HAER project and whose offices suffered even more damage, HAER was operating from a new location in Homestead within two weeks.

These heritage corridors/areas use Federal funds to leverage other public funds and private moneys. The oldest such program is Lowell National Historic Park, originated by former Senator Paul Tsongas. Tsongas envisioned a public/private, Federal/state/local cooperative effort that would revitalize that historic textile community. The concept has been embraced by the National Park Service. HABS/HAER Chief Robert Kapsch served on a National Park Service task force that developed this idea as a major program of the NPS. This proposal was presented to the National Park Service's 75th anniversary conference in Vail, Colorado, and was approved for further implementation. HABS/HAER's role in heritage corridors/heritage areas is to identify and document significant historic resources of those areas. Usually, HABS/HAER teams are the first Federal presence in a given heritage corridor or area. Because most of these heritage corridors and areas emphasize industrial and engineering resources, HAER tends to be used extensively since it contains the bulk of the National Park Service's expertise on historic industrial and engineering resources. The following is a current list of active heritage corridors and areas and the Federal funding they were appropriated in 1992: * America's Industrial Heritage Area, Pennsylvania (AIHP) - $11,670,000 Including the nine counties of southwestern Pennsylvania, HABS/HAER has been active in support of AIHP since 1987. * Augusta Canal National Historic Landmark, Georgia - $74,000 Funding to support planning. HAER documented the Augusta Power Canal, textile mills and associated industries in 1977. * Birmingham District National Heritage Area, Alabama - $248,000 Funding to support the second year of HABS/HAER documentation in Birmingham. HAER documented Sloss Furnace, now a NHL, in 1976 and was instrumental in its designation as a national historic landmark and its subsequent development as a major industrial museum. * Blackstone River Valley Heritage Corridor Commission - $347,000 The Blackstone flows through eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This commission funded HAER to record in 1991 Slater Mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the oldest textile mill in the United States. * Calumet National Historic Landmark District, Michigan - $0 HAER documented structures associated with copper mining of the Upper Peninsula in the late 1970s. * Dayton Aviation Heritage Commission, Ohio - $50,000 A new heritage commission, initial funding is for planning. HAER has not worked directly on these resources but is currently involved in a multi-year documentation program of the most historic areas of Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton. 28 ACTIVITIES * Delaware and Lehigh Navigational Canal Commission - $347,000 Located in the eastern part of Pennsylvania, HAER has documented the Ashley Breaker (1991) and the Beth Forge Plant of Bethlehem Steel (1990) for this commission. * Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor Commission - $248,000 The second-oldest heritage corridor, behind Lowell, HABS/HAER did extensive work for this commission along the I & M Canal running southwest of Chicago for 110 miles, in 1985-87. * Lackawanna Heritage Valley, Pennsylvania - $422,000 A new heritage area. * Lowell Historic Preservation Commission, Massachusetts - $726,000 The granddaddy of heritage areas/corridors, HABS/HAER has undertaken extensive documentation of the historic resources in Lowell since the early 1970s. * Mississippi River Corridor Heritage Commission - $149,000 Undoubtedly the longest heritage corridor. * New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail - $205,000 The New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail is more a series of self-guided tours and interpretative devices along the Jersey Coast. HABS/HAER has conducted extensive research here, in the areas of vernacular architecture, agriculture, ship-building and other subjects. * Steamtown National Historic Site, Pennsylvania - $12,893,000 Probably the most controversial heritage area, Steamtown is headquartered in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The Scranton yards of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad were recorded by HAER in 1989. * Steel Industry Heritage Task Force, Pennsylvania - $0 Centered on the Homestead works near Pittsburgh, the task force was not successful in receiving its $2 million request for 1992. HAER has maintained a field office in support of the Steel Industry Heritage Task Force since 1989. * Wheeling National Heritage Area, West Virginia - $2,304,000 A HABS/HAER team documented both architectural and engineering sites in Wheeling in 1990. Other additions could probably be made to this list. The heritage corridor/area concept is one that has developed a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm by its supporters. Heritage corridors/areas are said to develop tourism, encourage development, preserve important historic resources, and develop Americans' interest in their industrial and engineering heritage. From the National Park Service point of view, the concept integrates numerous outreach programs, builds a broader constituency for the preservation mission of the Service, and can be an effective tool for limiting new park acquisitions when financial support doesn't seem to be sustainable. We at HABS/HAER are proud to be part of the effort. 29 ACTIVITIES International Activities HABS historian Elizabeth Barthold participated in the US/ICOMOS summer internship program and spent three months working for the Wessex Region of England's Natinal Trust at the Kingston Lacy Estate in Dorset. She researched aspects of the estate's landscape. Barthold will also be giving a paper on the L'Enfant-McMillan Plan of Washington, D.C., a multi-year HABS project, at the International Symposium on the Conservation of Urban Squares and Parks in spring 1993, to be held in Montreal, Canada. HABS/HAER Deputy Chief John A. Burns delivered a speech, "The Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record," at the Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies, University of York, York, England, on September 25, 1992. He similarly spoke before the Royal Commission on Historic Monuments, England, and English Heritage in London, September 28. Spain hosted the 8th International Congress for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage (TICCIH), September 13-18, 1992. Approximately 200 delegates from around the world met in Madrid for three days of formal sessions pertaining to industrial heritage. HAER Chief Eric DeLony, representing the National Park Service, co-chaired the session on fieldwork with Steve Hughes of the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of Wales. Prior to the formal working sessions in Madrid, delegates met in Barcelona and toured Catelonian textile mills and other industrial works. The United States shares a preeminent role as one of the world's leaders in industrial heritage, along with other industrialized nations. Though the lead in these matters rests with industrialized nations, less-industrialized countries have not suffered the loss of heritage as have the more developed countries. These countries view their industrial heritage as unique and worthy of preservation. The next international conference, in 1994, will be hosted by Canada. Paul D. Dolinsky, HABS chief, was one of nine Americans selected to participate in an international conference at Ditchley Park in Oxfordshire, England. The topic of the conference was "Preserving the Architectural Heritage" and focused on preservation priorities, patterns of support and tourism. Ditchley House, Oxfordshire, England, c. 1722.

Dolinsky, 1992 30 ACTIVITIES White House Exhibit and the First Lady In October 1991, the White House celebrated the 200th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone. To convey its architectural history, the American Architectural Foundation (AAF) and the White House Historical Association organized the exhibition "White House: Images in Architecture 1792-1992." The assembly of drawings, photographs, documents, and artifacts was opened by First Lady Barbara Bush, and remained on display at the Octagon and the American Institute of Architects (AIA) headquarters through April 1992. Curator of the exhibit was Betty Monkman, associate curator of the White House. Displayed in the AIA gallery were HABS measured drawings that documented the White House as part of the continuing restoration effort.

Boucher, 1992 First Lady Barbara Bush is greeted at the opening of the HABS-White House exhibit by (left-right) Robert J. Kapsch, chief of HABS/HAER; Paul D. Dolinsky, chief of HABS; and James P. Cramer, Hon. AIA, executive vice president/CEO, American Institute of Architects. Photographer: Jack E. Boucher, 1992 31 ACTIVITIES Congressman Neil Abercrombie Visits HABS/HAER On March 30, 1992, Congressman Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii), a member of the Interior Authorization Committee, visited HABS/HAER offices at 1100 L Street -- the first congressman to do so in recent memory. Abercrombie's interest in HABS/HAER is based on his observation of the HABS summer 1991 Kalaupapa project, also acclaimed by Senator Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) and Congresswoman Patsy Mink (D-Hawaii). Independence Hall Drawings At a May 11 public ceremony outside of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, a multi-year effort to produce the first comprehensive set of measured drawings of Independence Hall was culminated. Independence National Historical Park Superintendent Martha B. Aikens formally presented forty-five sheets of HABS drawings, photographs, and field records of Independence Hall to HABS/HAER Chief Robert J. Kapsch, for deposit in the HABS collection in the Library of Congress. Also participating in the ceremony were Congressman Peter H. Kostmayer, chairman of the House Interior Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment; Congressman Thomas M. Foglietta, in whose district Independence Hall is located; and Congressman Lucien E. Blackwell. In assessing the stewardship responsibility of the National Park Service to care for Independence Hall, which is owned by the city of Philadelphia, park historical architect Penelope Hartshorne Batcheler discovered that, while there were dozens of drawings and hundreds of photographs of the building, there was no single consistent, comprehensive and accurate set of measured drawings. Paradoxically, the most pristine parts of the structure--the exterior brickwork, the central hall, and the tower stairhall--had never been recorded in measured drawings because they had never required extensive restoration work. The most intact and historic parts of the building were most at risk because they were inadequately documented. Thus began an intensive, long-term effort to produce III comprehensive photogrammetric documentation of Independence Hall for public information and interpretation, for day-to-day preservation maintenance and ongoing restoration, and as a form of protection against catastrophic loss. Left to right, Peter H. Kostmayer (R.Pa) and Martha B. Aikens, Superintendent, Independence National Historical Park, presents documentation on Independence Hall to HABS for inclusion in the HABS collection at the Library of Congress. Photographer: Thomas L. Davies, 1992. 32 ACTIVITIES Stereophotogrammetry was the technique chosen to produce the measured drawings of Independence Hall. The project was sponsored by the park under the direction of Batcheler and William D. Brookover, with technical support from HABS/HAER Deputy Chief John A. Burns. The recording was begun in June 1985 by Dennett, Muessig, Ryan and Associates, Ltd. The forty-five measured drawings were completed in April 1990. Three sets of 6.5cm X 9cm glass plate stereopairs were made, with 290 pairs in each set (105 exterior and 185 interior). The original drawings and one set of the plates were transferred to HABS/HAER. Photomylar duplicates of the drawings and the second set of plates were retained by the park, and another set of photomylars was sent to the Technical Information Center, Denver Service Center, NPS. A third set of plates was retained by the contractor. NORTH ELEVATION SCALE INDEPENDENCE HALL Independence Hall. Delineator: Marie A. Neubauer, 1986-1987. Plotted by: Bruce A. Harms, 1986 33 ACTIVITIES University of Maryland In 1992, HABS/HAER entered into a cooperative agreement with the University of Maryland. The cooperative agreement permits the University of Maryland Historic Preservation program to offer two long courses and two short courses related to HABS/HAER. The long courses to be offered include "HABS/HAER Measured Drawings," to be taught by Judith Capen, and "Historians Field Methods," to be taught by Peter Kurtze. HABS/HAER staff will assist in teaching these courses. The short courses will include "Architectural Photography" by HABS photographer Jack E. Boucher and HAER photographer Jet Lowe, and "Heritage Areas," by HAER Chief Eric N. DeLony and the HAER staff. In addition, the cooperative agreement permitted the funding of two University of Maryland interns, Virginia Carter and Dwayne Scheid who, under the direction of HABS/HAER collections management specialist Georgette Wilson, are organizing the architectural and engineering library. Finally, the cooperative agreement facilitated the establishment of the University of Maryland-HABS/HAER lecture series. Lectures in 1993 include: February 2 - "The Living in the Dead: Making Monuments out of Human Action," Bernard L. Herman, associate director of the Center for Historic Architecture and Engineering, University of Delaware; February 16 "World Heritage: A Legacy for All," Terry B. Morton, president, U.S. Committee of the International Council on Monuments and Sites; March 2-"Historic Preservation in Maryland and/or the Politics of Preservation," J. Rodney Little, director, Maryland Division of Historical and Cultural Programs; March 30 - "National Park Service: Future Directions in Historic Preservation," Jerry L. Rogers, associate director for Cultural Resources, National Park Service; April 20 - "The Pioneer Generation of Architectural Historians and Their Role in Preservation," Charles B. Hosmer, Jr., professor of history, Principia College. The cooperative agreement was facilitated by the leadership of professors James Flack, David Fogle, Mary Sies, and Joan Zen Zen who served as course coordinator, all of University of Maryland. HAER Cosponsors Historic Bridge Conference In August 1992, HAER cosponsored the International Historic Bridge Conference in Columbus, Ohio, hosted by the School of Engineering at Ohio State University, and by the Ohio Historic Preservation Office-Ohio Historical Society. This was the fourth in a series of regional conferences convened by the two institutions to bring together engineers and historic preservation specialists to discuss historic bridges. So successful was the first meeting, held eight years ago and attracting more than 100 attenders, the two organizations decided to hold the meetings on a bi-annual basis. Continuous interest resulted in the sponsorship of an international conference. Engineers and bridge scholars from around the world were invited to share their experiences in researching and saving historic bridges. A significant number of engineers attended the three-day meetings, due in part to the event's sponsorship by one of the country's most prestigious engineering schools. In conjunction with this conference, the Transportation Research Board, National Academy of Sciences, sponsored a historic-bridge rehabilitation workshop the previous day. HAER Chief Eric DeLony and Abba Lichtenstein co-chaired the sessions attended by more than fifty participants. A. G. Lichtenstein & Associates is one of the country's foremost consultants on bridge rehabilitation. 34 AIA/CHR Resolution: HABS 60th Anniversary The American Institute of Architects' Committee on Historic Resources (AIA/CHR) passed a resolution beginning the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Historic American Buildings Survey at their winter meeting in San Antonio, Texas, on March 1, 1992. The text of the resolution is below. A number of activities are planned, in cooperation with the AIA and other professional interest groups, especially for November 17th, the actual day the HABS program was approved in 1933. WHEREAS, the Historic American Buildings Survey of the National Park Service was the first national historic preservation program and has through the years, been of immeasurable benefit to the scholarship and appreciation of historic structures; WHEREAS, some three thousand student architects and others engaged in the Survey have become acquainted with the interest and importance of our historical heritage; and WHEREAS, the Survey has continued in operation, increasing in scale and scope; and WHEREAS, this unique and pioneering program is fast approaching the advent of its 60th year in 1993; NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the American Institute of Architects form an ad-hoc committee to help the National Park Service plan an appropriate formal commemoration of this milestone in Washington, at the AIA convention in Chicago, and across the United States, in 1993. 35 ACTIVITIES HABS/HAER Moves to 800 North Capitol Street On the evening of August 3, the General Services Administration (GSA) began moving the offices of HABS/HAER from 1100 L Street, NW, to its new space at 800 North Capitol St., NW. The move itself was reminiscent of an ancient curse about one's office being moved by the lowest bidder. Initially planned for one evening, the move extended through most of the week. The HABS/HAER copier was stolen in the process and no copiers were available in the new building. Furniture was damaged, some beyond use. Yet HABS/HAER survived through the tireless efforts of its staff, many working long into the night. The new offices are a great improvement. In some sense they had to be. HABS/HAER was greatly overcrowded in its former location, although we weren't so sensitive to that fact until we overheard members of the GSA's Inspector General's office touring 1100 L Street say to each other, "Can you imagine people work like this?" Space planning of the new HABS/HAER space was undertaken by John Burns and Paul Dolinsky. Utilizing an open-space planning concept, Burns and Dolinsky were able to provide more space to HABS/HAER staff without exceeding the total GSA-authorized space by minimizing circulation space and grouping historians, architects, and collections activities together. The move to 800 North Capitol allowed us to consolidate HABS/HAER offices in one building. The CAD/photogrammetry laboratory had been in the Pension Building/National Building Museum, thanks to Robert Duemling, president and director of the museum. One great advantage in relocating was, for the first time, the provision of darkroom space to HABS/HAER photographers, where they will do their own processing and printing. We expect to be at 800 North Capitol through the year 2003. Other HABS/HAER homes in the Washington, D.C. area have included 1721 North Lynn St., Arlington, Virginia; 801 19th St., NW; 1100 L Street, NW (twice), and the Pension Building at 440 G St., NW. Our favorite location was, of course, the Pension Building. Our mailing address remains P.O. Box 37127, Washington, D.C. 20013-7127. 800 North Capitol Street-new home of HABS/HAER. Photographer: Jack E. Boucher, 1993 36 ACTIVITIES HABS/HAER Annual Summer Celebration Seneca Creek State Park July 31-August 2, 1992 This year, two days of special events preceded the annual HABS/HAER picnic held Sunday, August 2. The activities were chosen to promote social interaction between the Washington-based staff and summer hires. The picnic committee consisted of HABS architects Mellonee Rheams and Robert R. Arzola, and HABS historian Kimberly R. Sebold. On July 31, the HABS/HAER staff, summer team members, and friends of HABS/HAER were invited to a reception at the National Building Museum, location of the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials team's CAD laboratory. The reception offered an opportunity for summer employees to meet the Washington staff, learn how the Washington office operates, as well as to observe a CAD demonstration. Each visiting team, as well as the long-term Washington-based documentation projects, presented T-shirts, pencilings of drawings, fieldnotes, photographs and drafts of historical reports. A spokesman from each team gave short presentations on each project. There were approximately fifteen informative presentations, and though the recording season had not culminated, remarkable examples of documentation were shown. The gathering concluded with refreshments. On Saturday, the group enjoyed a tour of buildings of architectural and/or historic interest, including the Scottish Rite Temple/House of the Temple, the National Building Museum/Pension Building, and a behind-the- scenes tour of the Jefferson Memorial. Lunch took place along the Tidal Basin near the Jefferson Memorial. Day three, Sunday, was the annual HABS/HAER picnic at Seneca Creek State Park in Gaithersburg, Maryland, which offered canoes, rowboats, paddle boats, a disc golf course, and hiking trails. Prizes, consisting of HABS/HAER publications, were awarded to the winners of volleyball and disc golf tournaments. Approximately 100 HABS/HAER employees, friends and family members attended. Summer teams responded from as far away as Independence, Missouri. Approximately seven designs were entered into the new annual summer-teams T-shirt competition. Competition was stiff and lots of fun, especially for those who used picnic tables as runways. The first place design was modeled by Brian Cary of the HABS/HAER collections management section; second place went to Paul G. Homeyer of the HABS White House documentation team. 37 ACTIVITIES 72 65 66 52 53 54 9 3 13 21 24 12 33g 5 18 51 13 8 20 27 17 23 31 46 26 36 40 45 47 2 11 16 48 30 4 10 15 19 39 24 44 25 43 22 35 28 38 42 34 38 ACTIVITIES 1992 HABS/HAER Picnic [1] Emily Burns, [2] John Burns [HABS/HAER Deputy Chief], [3] Amy McGroarty [HAER], [4] Robert Arzola [White House], [5] Charlie FitzSimons, [6] Neal FitzSimons [HAER Co-Founder], [7] Dana Lockett [Lincoln/Jefferson Memorials], [8] Isabel Yang [Monticello], [9] Sarah Heald [HAER Alumna], [10] Alison Isenberg [New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail], [11] Orlin K.

'Kim' Hoagland's first summer with HABS was spent in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, in 1978. The following summer, she worked in the Washington office, and she has been there ever since. As a HABS historian and subsequently HABS senior historian, she has supervised projects from Virginia to Hawaii, as well as transmittals from here to the Library of Congress. In 1984, she received a Quality Performance Award for her participation as supervisor of the Reduction and Transmittal (RAT) Project, for which, in 1983-84, a record number of documentation was transmitted to the library. In recent years, she has also directed the HABS portion of the documentation in the America's Industrial Heritage Project region of southwestern Pennsylvania. Her particular interest has been Alaska, where she first represented HABS in 1982; she has written a book on Alaska for the Society of Architectural Historians' Buildings of the United States series (Oxford University Press), slated for publication in spring 1993. Kim received her undergraduate degree in American civilization from Brown University and her master's degree from George Washington University in American studies with a concentration in historic preservation. Hoagland currently serves on the board of directors of the Vernacular Architecture Forum. HAER historian Dean Herrin joined the HAER staff as a historian in 1990, with particular interests in coal mining, iron and steel, and the impact of American industrialization on "traditional" people. A 1981 graduate of Brown University, he received his M.A. from the Winterthur Program in early American culture at the University of Delaware in 1984, and his doctoral degree from the Hagley Program at the University of Delaware in 1992. His dissertation was titled, "Breaking the Stillness': The Coal Industry and the Transformation of Appalachian Virginia, 1880-1920." Herrin was a predoctoral fellow at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History in 1988. At HAER, in addition to supervising historians on summer projects, he has been project leader for HAER's multi-year documentation of the industrial resources of the Monongahela Valley, outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and of the two-year documentation of early aeronautical engineering features of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. He is currently the president of the Washington, D.C., (Montgomery C. Meigs) chapter of the Society for Industrial Archeology. 43 PEOPLE Promotions, cont'd. HABS historian Sara Amy Leach joined HABS/HAER in 1988. Before joining HABS, she worked as an historian with the National Capital Region-NPS ND POTO researching and writing National Register nominations ROCK on Civilian Conservation Corps-built campgrounds and Washin on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. She served itinerantly as a field historian for HABS during summer 1986 on the Illinois & Michigan Canal documentation project, as a graduate fellow at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History to conduct thesis research on the detached colonial kitchen, and as a freelance writer. Leach earned her M.A. in architectural history and a certificate in historic preservation from the University of Virginia in 1986. She received a B.A. in journalism and B.F.A. in art history from Ohio Wesleyan University. Her work as a project leader at HABS/HAER has focused on establishing standards for documenting urban and road- related landscapes--such as the L'Enfant-McMillan Plan of Washington, and the Merritt and Rock Creek & Potomac parkways--as well as directing other recording projects. Federal Service Milestones R. Marlene Bergstrom, field program administrator, celebrates 16 years of Federal service. She left a life of serenity as a homemaker to join the National Park Service in 1976 when she was hired by HABS/HAER to type historical-data manuscripts. Later, she worked on transmittals, compiling and organizing materials for transfer to the Library of Congress. Bergstrom became a permanent member of the staff and three years later was named photographic services assistant, a position created to provide administrative support to the staff photographers and archival-records management functions. In 1987, she assumed the responsibility of summer program administrator, a full-time position coordinating the administrative activities associated with an ever-expanding summer program. In 1950 Bergstrom received an associate of arts degree from Towson State Teachers College (now Towson State University) in Maryland, where she was in the first graduating class of the newly established junior college. Jack E. Boucher, HABS architectural photographer, marked thirty years of Federal Service on July 26, all with HABS. Boucher's Federal career began in 1958 at the HABS office in Philadelphia under the supervision of founder Charles E. Peterson. His initial assignment was to record the unearthing of the original flagpole base at Fort McHenry, working with architect Lee Nelson. In late 1966, having long been active in historic preservation, he continued to work for HABS under contract. With the inception of the HAER program in 1969, Boucher returned to "the fold" to work for both programs. His tenure with HABS has taken Boucher to forty-nine of the fifty States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands photographing structures-- "from privies to palaces," he says. He has amassed approximately half of the photographs in the HABS collection in the Library of Congress--more than 50,000 of an estimated 7,500 structures. Throughout the years, Boucher has received many awards and recognitions, including the Interior Department's Meritorious Service Medal, the 44 PEOPLE Medal of the American Institute of Architects, and others. He is the author of five books and numerous articles. He is the contributor of thousands of published photographs in books, magazines and journals. John A. Burns, AIA, Deputy Chief, HABS/HAER - Twenty years. See page iii. Eric DeLony, Chief of HAER - Twenty years. See page iv. Jean P. Yearby, Publications Specialist, completed thirty-five years of Federal service in 1992. She began her career in 1958 as a clerk-typist in the Office of Information, U.S. Department of Agriculture, responsible for the production and distribution of press releases concerning departmental matters, and then as secretary to two economists. In 1962, she moved to the State Department as a secretary in the Far East Bureau, Agency for International Development, a position that afforded her the opportunity to travel nationwide and abroad. When not traveling, she was often detailed to the White House to serve as secretary to the consultant to the president on Vietnam affairs, and assisted in the White House Correspondence Branch, answering presidential correspondence. In 1967, Yearby joined the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, Department of the Interior, as a secretary, followed by the same position in the Audit Operations Division, Office of the Secretary. Beginning in 1969, she spent four years with the now-defunct White House Fellow program. In 1973, Yearby joined the National Park Service as division secretary for HAER (now HABS/HAER), responsible for the day-to-day administrative efforts of the office and for the HAER summer recording teams. In 1985 she became publications specialist for the division. She has published several articles and compiles the annual report each year.

University and other established presses use peer review, reach large audiences, have greater professional credibility and are high in quality compared to some government publications. The disadvantage of using university and other established presses is that it is difficult to have a title accepted for publication. These publishing projects are undertaken through cooperative agreements with, usually, royalties paid to HABS/HAER. Current projects include the following: Buildings of Alaska, by Alison K. Hoagland, senior historian, HABS. To be published by Oxford University Press, spring 1993. In an ambitious project conceived by William Pierson and Adolf Placek, the Society of Architectural Historians is sponsoring Buildings of the United States, a series of guidebooks to all the states. HABS veteran and University of Missouri professor Osmund Overby is editor-in-chief for the series. Alaska is one of the first four volumes, all of which will be published this spring. With several seasons of HABS work in Alaska to her credit, Hoagland took a leave of absence in FY90 to write this volume, contracting with HAER photographer Jet Lowe to provide many of the photographs. Large-format photographs taken for this book will go into the HABS collection. The 320-page book (containing 200 half-tones, 24 line drawings, 35 maps) will sell for $29.95 and can be obtained from Oxford University Press, 200 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10016. Landmark American Bridges, by Eric DeLony, HAER chief. To be published by the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Bulfinch Press of Little, Brown Publishing Company of Boston, in May 1993, this book represents the best of HAER bridge documentation collected over the last twenty years. The brainchild of ASCE Executive Director Edward Pfrang and HABS/HAER Chief Robert Kapsch (the two worked together at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Center for Building Technology) the book, as described by ASCE, "could well be the definitive pictorial treatise on U.S. bridge-building." The book includes ninety-four bridges illustrated in more than 200 photographs and drawings. Curtis Deane was the ASCE program manager and Zoe Foundotos was the ASCE acquisitions editor. The 160-page book will sell for $40.00, from Marketing Services A237, American Society of Civil Engineers, 345 East 47th Street, New York, NY 10017-2398. Request publication No. ISBN 0-87262-857-4. 52 HABS/HAER IN PRINT AND FILM SECTION Landmarks of Prince George's County, by Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission and the HABS/HAER staff. 144 pages with 125 photographs by Jack E. Boucher. To be published by Johns Hopkins University Press in spring 1993. This publication is the result of a model documentation project developed by Robert J. Kapsch, HABS/HAER chief, and Gail Rothrock, Prince George's County historic preservation coordinator, to demonstrate how HABS/HAER can work with local governments to comprehensively record the historic structures. HABS photographer Jack E. Boucher and HABS historian Catherine C. Lavoie documented forty-two historic structures throughout Prince George's County through the use of large format photography; approximately 900 photographs were taken and will be transmitted to the Library of Congress. They were assisted by Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission historian Susan Pearl. The book, representing the best of this documentation, was developed by Diane Maddex, president, Archetype Press. George Thompson, acquisitions editor, and James Johnston, vice president, Johns Hopkins University Press, greatly facilitated the project. The book will also include essays by Rothrock, Pearl, Lavoie, Kapsch, and Boucher. It will sell for $29.95 and can be obtained by writing to The Johns Hopkins University Press, Sales Department, 701 West 40th St., Baltimore, MD 21211-2190, or by calling 410-516-6936. A Quest for Grandeur, by Sally Kress Tompkins, former deputy chief of HABS/HAER; photographs by Jack E. Boucher. To be published spring 1993 by Smithsonian Institution Press. The genesis for this book began following Tompkins' death in 1989, and the realization that her thesis, on Charles Moore and the development of the Federal Triangle in Washington, D.C., was an important contribution to our knowledge of the development of the Federal city. The Smithsonian Institution Press was ably represented by acquisitions editor Amy Pastan and production editor Rebecca Browning. HABS/HAER historian Caroline Bedinger served as the project leader. Richly illustrated with seventy-six illustrations, this 181-page book will make an important contribution to our knowledge of Washington, D.C. The cost is $34.95 and can be obtained from local bookstores or by calling the Smithsonian Institution Press warehouse at 1-800-782- 4612. Old Missouri: The Piaget-van Ravenswaay Collection of Architectural Photos in the Library of Congress, by Frank L. Peters, Jr. To be published by the Patrice Press in spring 1993. Four years before his death in 1990, Charles van Ravenswaay arranged with HABS/HAER Chief Robert Kapsch, through Ford Peatross, Library of Congress architectural and engineering curator, to accession into the HABS collection the 1,800 photographs comprising the Piaget-van Ravenswaay collection and therefore preserve this unique collection, which spans sixty years of Missouri architectural photography. Gregory Franzwa, publisher of Patrice Press, became interested in publishing a catalog to this unique collection. Financially assisted by donations arranged by Charles E. Peterson, Franzwa hired Pulitzer-prize winning author Frank L. Peters, Jr., to work ,with HABS senior architectural historian Kim Hoagland to produce the richly illustrated catalog. Monticello: Drawings of the Historic American Buildings Survey, text by restoration director William Beiswanger, Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, and Paul Dolinsky, HABS chief; drawings by Isabel Yang, HABS architect, and others. To be published by Thornwillow Press, summer 1993. Thornwillow is a small New York City press dedicated to producing small runs of high-quality books, headed by Luke Pontifell. In an agreement between Dan Jordan, executive director of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, and HABS, Pontifell is publishing the drawings for the 250th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson, in 1993. He intends to recreate the appearance and feel of fine eighteenth-century architectural publications: approximately 10 copper plates will be engraved from the HABS drawings, imprinted onto individual sheets of 100 percent rag mold-made paper and enclosed in a large format, gold-tooled, lined, leather portfolio. The 30-page limited edition will be sold for an estimated $650.00 and can be purchased from the Thornwillow Press, 57 W. 58th St., New York, NY 10019, Tel.: 212-838-5644. 53 HABS/HAER IN PRINT AND FILM SECTION PRESENTATIONS/PAPERS PRESENTED BY HABS/HAER STAFF * On February 7, 1992, HABS/HAER Chief Robert Kapsch gave a presentation to the faculty and students at the College of Architecture and Planning, Morgan State University, titled "The Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record -- An Overview." * Three HABS historians participated in the Society of Architectural Historians meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico, April 1-5, 1992.

"America on Record: The Work of HABS/HAER" This exhibition explaining the HABS/HAER process of recording historic structures made its debut in December 1989 at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. Organized by the museum and HABS/HAER, the exhibition, "America on Record: The Work of HABS/HAER," containing photographs and measured drawings of structures documented by HABS/HAER in 1989, remained on display from December 1989 through February 1990. It has been converted into a travelling exhibition, available from the National Building Museum. A documentary video, sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders (see page 57), recorded teams during the documentation process at Scotty's Castle in Death Valley, CA, and Avery Island Salt Works in Louisiana, complements the exhibition. This exhibition has appeared at the National Trust for Historic Preservation Annual Meeting in San Francisco, California, and at the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, Rhode Island.

AMERICA'S INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE PROJECT (AIHP) (Multi-year Project) Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Field Office Projects Connellsville and Klondike Coke Region: Fayette and Westmoreland Counties, Community, Coal and Coke Works Pennsylvania Project Leaders: G. Gray Fitzsimons, HAER Engineer/Historian Richard J. O'Connor, HAER Historian Project Historian: Frederic L. Quivik, Historian, University of Pennsylvania In 1991, HAER embarked on a study of the Connellsville coke region, one of world's prominent metallurgical coking districts in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Frederic Quivik undertook the first part of this study, conducting research of primary and secondary sources, surveying various abandoned beehive coke works, and interviewing a number of local residents who were involved with the industry. The study focused on the business strategies and technologies employed by one of the nation's largest coke producers, the H. C. Frick Coke Company, as well as one of Frick's competitors, the W. J. Rainey Company. Quivik prepared a draft report on his research and outlined a series of issues and questions for a second phase of the research and writing. In the summer of 1992, Quivik returned to the project, refining and expanding his earlier work. This included a section on the Frick Company's works at Shoaf, one of the early mechanized beehive coke operations in the Connellsville district. Quivik's study demonstrates that Frick and others in the Connellsville district, though choosing to continue with beehive rather than the technologically advanced by-product coke production, nevertheless adopted some new techniques for manufacturing coke and experimented with different types of ovens, plant layouts, and 62 HABS/HAER PROGRAMS kinds of equipment for charging, quenching and drawing coke from the ovens. Further, Connellsville coke makers like Frick attempted to standardize their production processes, particularly after 1900. Quivik shows that the Connellsville coke industry was not as technologically stagnant as other studies have suggested and that such coke producers as the Frick Company adopted new techniques and invested large sums of capital in more modern beehive coke processes. The next phase of the study, to begin in 1993, will examine labor in the Connellsville region's coal and coke industry, and will look at the response of workers to this new technology. Jeannette Glass and Flat Glass Contextual Study Jeannette, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. Project Leaders: G. Gray Fitzsimons, HAER Engineer/Historian Richard J. O'Connor, HAER Historian Team Member: Amy C. McGroarty, The Catholic University of America Begun in the summer of 1991, a series of drawings depicting the process for producing flat glass, as carried out at the nationally important Chambers-McKee Window Glass Company in 1890s and early 1900s, was completed in 1992. Completed by Amy McGroarty, these drawings focus on the three major processes -- hand production, the Lubbers cylinder, and the Fourcault machine used at Jeannette, and provide the reader with an understanding of the size and scale of each operation, as well as the layout of equipment and interaction of worker with machine, in Jeannette's largest glass plant. Related to the Jeannette glass study, Richard O' 'Connor commenced a survey of other flat glass manufacturers throughout western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana. The aim of the study is to place Jeannette's industry in a larger context and identify physical remains from other plants operating during the 1880s through the 1920s. HAER Inventory Publications for Washington, D.C. Westmoreland, Somerset and Indiana Counties Project Leaders: G. Gray Fitzsimons, HAER Engineer/Historian Kenneth D. Rose, HAER Historian Team Members: Patricia Summers, Virginia Polytechnic Institute Caroline Brucken, George Washington University During 1992, the HAER inventory of Somerset County was completed by historical consultant Scott C. Brown. This manuscript was reviewed and edited by Patricia Summers. Kenneth Rose and Gray Fitzsimons revised several parts of the manuscript and prepared it for publication in FY 1993. Readied for printing was the manuscript, Indiana County, Pennsylvania: An Inventory of Historic Engineering and Industrial Sites, and revisions continued on the massive HAER Inventory of Westmoreland County. Caroline Brucken prepared HAER inventory material for transmittal to the Library of Congress. All of the HAER inventories in western Pennsylvania will be published through the offices of America's Industrial Heritage Project in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. For copies of previously printed inventories or upcoming publications contact Judy Torres at 814-539-2016. 63 HABS/HAER PROGRAMS Under the HABS component of AIHP during 1992, three projects were undertaken: the publication of Norvelt and Penn-Craft, Pennsylvania: Subsistence Homestead Communities of the 1930s, the continuation of a study of company housing in refractories company towns, and the transmittal of all completed HABS/AIHP projects to the Library of Congress and to the AIHP Archives at Indiana University of Pennsylvania in Indiana, Pennsylvania. Norvelt, Westmoreland County, and Penn-Craft, Fayette County Project Leader: Alison K. Hoagland, HABS Senior Historian The town of Norvelt, originally named Westmoreland Homesteads, was built in 1934-37 by the U.S. Division of Subsistence Homesteads as part of New Deal relief efforts in the southwestern Pennsylvania coal fields. Grounded in the philosophies of self-help and back-to-the-land, much of the impetus for the subsistence homesteads movement came from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), founded by the Society of Friends in 1917. The AFSC raised private funds and sponsored construction of a homesteads community named Penn-Craft in western Fayette County (1936-42). The curvilinear town plans, generous lot sizes, and variety of house plans make both these towns conspicuous in a regional landscape dominated by more regimented company town plans. HABS historian Margaret M. Mulrooney began work on this project in 1989. She conducted research and fieldwork and drafted histories of both towns. After Mulrooney left HABS to begin graduate work at the College of William and Mary, HABS senior historian Alison K. Hoagland continued work on the project in 1991. She completed an overview essay on the subsistence homesteads movement and assembled the work for publication. HABS architect Isabel Yang produced simple floor plans and elevations of prototypical designs for each community, and David Ames, Center for Historic Architecture and Engineering, University of Delaware, produced large format photographs. Refractories Company Towns Project Leader: Alison K. Hoagland, HABS Senior Historian Project Historian: Kim E. Wallace, HABS Historian As part of its documentation of the coal, steel, and transportation industries in the AIHP region of Pennsylvania, HABS/HAER has produced histories of towns dominated by coal mines, steel mills, and the Pennsylvania Railroad. This study moves beyond these primary and more visible industries to examine the refractory brick industry, which produced materials to build steel furnaces, coke ovens, and locomotive boilers and fireboxes. It focuses on eight towns with company housing that survives from the heyday of the refractory brickyards during the first decades of the twentieth century. The towns are scattered across the region and represent a spectrum of refractories companies, company housing policies, and company town development. They include Bolivar and Salina in Westmoreland County, Robinson in Indiana County, Blandburg in Cambria County, Sproul and Claysburg in Blair County, Mt. Union in Huntingdon County, and Kistler in Mifflin County. Although this study is sponsored by HABS and is focused on company housing, 64 HABS/HAER PROGRAMS it will include a history of the refractories industry and brick-making technology, to place the company housing in the context of the industry and to provide a more complete view of these company towns. Preliminary research for this project was conducted by HABS historians Margaret M. Mulrooney in 1989 and by Nancy Spiegel in 1990. Project historian Kim E. Wallace completed the research and design of the project and undertook the writing and preparation of a publication in 1991-92, under the direction of HABS senior historian Alison K. Hoagland. HABS architect Isabel Yang drew maps of the towns, plus sketches and floor plans of selected company houses. Jet Lowe and David Ames provided large-format photographic documentation of the towns. The large format photographs, drawings, and historic photographs will be published with Wallace's text in 1993 as Brickyard Towns: A History of Refractories Industry Communities in South-Central Pennsylvania. AIHP/HABS Transmittal Project Project Leader: Alison K. Hoagland, HABS Senior Historian Team Members: Ann Deines, Historian, George Washington University Chris Madrid, Historian, University of Utah Flor de Maria Argueta Pineda, Architect, Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala, Guatemala [ICOMOS] Kim E. Wallace, Historian, HABS/HAER Office Since 1988, HABS has completed AIHP eleven projects, ranging from documentation of individual buildings to neighborhoods and cities. Six of the large-scale projects were published in cooperation with AIHP and a number of these publications are now in their second printing. With the publication process completed, the documentation materials were prepared for transmittal to the Library of Congress. HABS/HAER historians arranged to transmit copies of the documentation and research materials to an archive at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, established to house the records of AIHP. This effort resulted in over 400 individual transmittals to the Library of Congress. 65 HABS/HAER PROGRAMS Huntaville Statement 2 WALKER C Original Builders Jasper Alabama Chattanooge Grear 2 3 Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis Southern Illinois Central 8 Louisville Neshville Charlanoga South North Alabama Seaboard Line 5 Central Georgia 6 Atlanta Burmingham. & Atlantic 3 7 Mobile Ohio 9 Southern 8 Georgia Pacific Semboard Air Line 8 10 Alabama Tennessee Rivers JEFFERSON Birmingham C Terminal Station Bessemer TUSCALOOSA Atlants.

DeLony, Chief, HAER Project Manager: Robbyn L. Jackson, HAER Architect Field Leader: Craig N. Strong, HAER Architect During the summer of 1992, HAER undertook the first part of a multi-year effort to document the industrial heritage of the Birmingham District, an area rich in the history of iron and manufacturing. The documentation produced by HAER will define the heritage area visually and verbally, and will serve as the foundation for preservation and interpretive plans. The nineteen-member team, made up of architects, architecture technicians, historians, and a photographer, conducted four separate recording projects, in support of local efforts to establish an Industrial Heritage District in a five-county area. Sponsored by the Birmingham Historical Society and funded by congressional appropriation, the team documented the railroad infrastructure of the district, the Hardie-Tynes foundry and machine shop, the Republic Steel Corporation's Thomas by- product coke works, and a series of smaller, less traditional sites. For the most part, the sites were selected because they tie into historical themes that distinguish the district as an important iron and steel region. 66 HABS/HAER PROGRAMS Hardie-Tynes Machinery Manufacturing Company Birmingham, Alabama Team Members: Evelyn L. Green, Supervisory Architect, Southeastern Louisiana University Tanya A. English, Historian, Ironbridge Institute, United Kingdom, [ICOMOS] Zvonimir Franic, Architect, Institute for the Preservation of the Historical Monuments and Nature of Dubrovnik, Croatia, [ICOMOS] Laura H. Letton, Architecture Technician, Miami University Hardie-Tynes is a study in adaptability, having begun as a builder of steam engines, air compressors and mining equipment, and now doing specialized contract work for the Defense Department, major dam projects, and a variety of other customers. The company first supplied local mines and industries, but later produced components for the Panama Canal, the Hoover Dam and other major national and international projects. The Hardie-Tynes HAER team produced drawings which show how the plant changed over time in response to changing markets and major fires. Also, the team produced drawings that depict how Hardie-Tynes made a major piece of mining equipment. The drawings illustrate the manufacture of a mine hoist drum, highlighting key stages in the process; and such tasks as melting cast iron in a cupola and pouring it into custom-made molds in the foundry. They also show selected machine tools that performed the finishing work in the machine shop. Koppers By-Product Coking Operation Thomas, Alabama Team Members: Craig N. Strong, Supervisory Architect, HAER Washington Office Jack R. Bergstresser, Project Historian, Auburn University Joseph R. Bruno, Architecture Technician, Syracuse University Steven C. Byington, Architect, Texas Tech University Elena Garlini, Architect, Graduate School of Architecture, Venice; Columbia University, Italy [ICOMOS] William E. Heintz, Architect, Harvard University The Thomas Coke Plant is a battery of sixty-four Koppers-Becker Coke Ovens which produced a range of coal by-products and coke used as fuel for the Republic Steel Corporation's Thomas blast furnaces. The HAER team produced documentation that illustrated the production of coke and the distillation of by-product gas. The Thomas by-product coke ovens and plant are significant not only because they provide a well-preserved example of how blast furnace fuel and its byproducts were produced, but also because they can be used to demonstrate that American blast furnace companies were finely tuned iron-making systems in which mines, quarries, coke ovens and blast furnaces worked in close harmony. The drawing of the Birmingham Industrial District, ca. 1950, produced by the Thomas Coke Works recording team, illustrates the proximity of the mines, quarries, coke ovens and blast furnaces in the district. 67 HABS/HAER PROGRAMS Railroad Survey of the Birmingham District National Heritage Corridor Birmingham, Alabama (Multiyear project) Team Members: Mark M. Brown, Supervisory Historian, University of Pittsburgh Scott C. Brown, Historian, University of Pennsylvania Nichole N. Duren, Architect, Howard University The HAER team studied the railroad infrastructure of the Birmingham District, mapping the trunk and industrial rail routes. Rail transportation was key to the movement of raw materials and finished products between interrelated sites in the district. In addition to recording the routes of major trunk lines and smaller industrial short lines in the district, the railroad recording project has looked at the question of vertical integration and how it might have applied in such a compact geographical area. Their work shows that Woodward Iron Company, a Wheeling, West Virginia, transplant in the 1880s and the leading local foundry pig iron producer, had achieved full vertical integration well before Carnegie and other major northern producers. While most local blast furnace companies were not able to achieve complete company-controlled rail linkage between their holdings, dubbed its "straight line production" model, all had well defined, compact transportation routes. Roving HAER Survey Birmingham, Alabama Team Members: Kyle M. D'Agostino, Supervisory Architect, Syracuse University David H. Diesing, Photographer, University of Dayton Catherine I. Kudlik, Architecture Technician, The Catholic University of America Robert C. Martin, Architecture Technician, Auburn University Joseph L. Shannon, Jr., Historian, University of Alabama in Birmingham The HAER team traveled the woods and more isolated areas of the Birmingham District, recording important small-scale industrial sites before finishing the season doing field sketches of the workers' housing at the Thomas Furnaces site. The roving team marks a departure from the traditional HAER documentation project. In an innovative move, HAER's unique documentary skills were adapted to record a series of small sites that were tied to the larger story of vertically integrated iron-making systems. Individually, none of the sites would have been substantial enough to occupy a HAER team for the whole summer, but most were crucial to the overall significance of the district. One, for instance, was the company housing of Republic Steel's Thomas blast furnace and coke works. The Thomas housing illustrates the living conditions of southern industrial workers and their close but distinct relationship to northern counterparts. The team also documented the foundation remnants and other surface-viable archeological remains of two nineteenth-century coal mines. The Brookside coal mine reveals the pioneering role the district played in developing American metallurgical coal washing practice. It contains perhaps the best preserved archeological remains of a Robinson-Ramsay inverted cone coal washing plant that was perfected in the Birmingham District and became the first widely used metallurgical coal washing system in the country. The Billy Gould mine site includes the retaining walls of the early battery of eleven non-by-product coke ovens that date to the 1860s-70s. Both are tied to important blast furnace companies; Brookside to Sloss and Billy Gould to the experimental Eureka Furnace at Oxmoor that proved the viability of making coal pig iron 68 HABS/HAER PROGRAMS from the Birmingham District's coal and iron ore. In addition to their historical significance, both are potential recreational sites. The HAER drawings, photographs and historical reports on these sites have saved them from the overgrowth and isolation of their wooded locations and brought their historical significance to light. "The importance of HAER to the Birmingham Industrial Heritage District is multi-dimensional. At the core are the legions of youthful architects and historians who descend upon unknown but treasured sites, endow them with vigorous, enthusiastic analysis and convince many of their worthiness for future preservation." --Marjorie White, Director, Birmingham Historical Society COKE OVEN GAS FLOW - 1952 General information This drawing . reconsing - drawings and records provided by The Viede Sand and the of the Bontingham By-Product Public Every and the of the of Alobama Sea the HAER Plant Ammonia library Prestorical amounted Absorber was - Turbo Exhausters Exhausion Tar 7 Precipitators Beaster Gas Cleaner Primacy Coolers Final Benzol Cooler Gas Fuel Gas Benzol Washer 10 Hölder 11 Washers Plant Ammania Starage Scale 1/16" 1'-0" Tank Coke Oven Gas Stages Coke aven is on excessent but before 8 be The and recovery Flushing Liquor Decanter Tanks Storage Tank 2 to Downcomer , The and is through of s 5 Flee The gas the ges to Collecting be Main . the = Beversing Room from Gas Guns 10 the Bleeder Coke Stack Ovens Coke Plant " Encare Coke Oven Gas Flow - 1952.

Behrens, Architecture Technician, The Catholic University of America Mellonee Rheams, Architect, HABS Office On September 23, 1989, the residents of Charleston, South Carolina, were faced with the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo. The damage to buildings, as a result of Hugo, were severe. None of the historic structures around the Battery were totally lost, as was the case elsewhere in the city. However, if a building had been lost, drawings did not exist to adequately reconstruct the structure. HABS/HAER, in cooperation with the Historic Charleston Foundation, undertook a documentation project of the Battery to produce a photogrammetric and photographic record of the streetscapes along South and East Battery in Charleston. These homes are considered the most vulnerable of the city's historic resources. This documentation is intended to provide a baseline documentation for catastrophic replacement. Photogrammetric documentation was chosen because it is the most cost effective way of rapidly collecting data for a large number of structures, enabling the recording team to photographically document twenty-six houses in eight days. The photographic images will be archived until scaled drawings are needed, at which time the graphic information can be digitized into drawings, using AutoCAD and PhotoCAD software and a digitizing table. The photogrammetric camera system was the Linhof Metrika 45 with a 90mm lens. The Metrika is a semi-metric camera that produces 4" X 5" negatives on 5" roll film. It is a specialized camera that was manufactured in Germany and is the first of its kind to be used in the United States. 72 HABS/HAER PROGRAMS The East Battery along the bay in Charleston, South Carolina.

Vazquez, Architecture Technician, University of Miami Summer Employee Crystal N. Willingham, Architecture Technician, Howard University The Historic American Buildings Survey's inaugural computer-aided drafting and photogrammetry project continued apace in 1992. After spending most of 1991 working on the plans of these important buildings, 1992 was devoted primarily to measuring and drawing elevations and sections. This work was abetted by the erection of scaffolding, consisting of five movable towers of the Lincoln Memorial and three movable towers at the Jefferson Memorial. Used in conjunction with a team of consultant architects engaged by the Denver Service Center to undertake a detailed stone-by-stone survey of the two buildings, the scaffolding towers provided the HABS team access to normally inaccessible areas for measuring and photographic purposes. In order to record in detail the elaborately carved bas-relief ornamentation, extensive use was made of the project's photogrammetric camera. Frequently, the camera was mounted onto a specially designed 11' long boom attached to one of the towers, and then swung out into space for better positioning than was available from the scaffolding itself. In addition, the camera proved useful for documenting several inaccessible locations in the buildings where scaffolding was not available, such as the 40' high basement ceiling in the Lincoln Memorial. Measurement of the dome of the Jefferson Memorial was made possible using a mountaineering harness attached to a system of ropes, enabling team members to rappel up and down the walls. The HABS drawings produced so far have already seen extensive use as base drawings for the ongoing multi-year restoration project at both memorials. 76 WISCONSIN CALIFORNIA MII MDCCCXLVIII MDCCCL IV Cornice, Lincoln Memorial.

Yang, HABS Architect With most of the fieldwork and the preliminary construction of the plans and sections completed in the past three years, 1992 was spent inking these highly detailed drawings of Monticello and placing them in final HABS format. This necessitated photographically reducing the large original drawings (plans are 54" X 72" and sections are 42" X 72" at 1/2" = 1'-0" scale) down to 1/4" = 1'0" scale to fit onto the standard 34" X 44" HABS mylar. In addition, dimensions, room labels, and titles were added. Besides the plans and sections, select molding details were constructed and inked at half-size (6" = 1'0" scale). In 1992, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation (TJMF) expanded its memorandum of agreement with HABS to document the four exterior elevations of the main residence. These were begun in fall 1992 and are scheduled to be completed by the middle of 1993. To commemorate 1993 as the 250th anniversary of Thomas Jefferson's birth, the TJMF is planning an exhibit and a book featuring the drawings. 78 MONTICELLO EAST ELEVATION FEET DAVID SCHLEMBER ANDREW & STONE HABS/HAER PROGRAMS Delineators: Isabel C.

Each inventory contains a systematic description of extant structures and equipment at each facility, select large format photographs of structures and equipment, and written histories of each facility. In addition, a set of measured drawings depicting Press Shop No. 1 at the Homestead Works and the Blast Furnace Plant at the Duquesne Works have been included in the respective inventories. With the support of the Steel Industry Heritage Corporation, new projects were undertaken in Brownsville in Fayette County. Led by Christopher Marston and Joel Sabadasz, the HAER teams documented the Dunlap Creek Bridge, built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers between 1936-39, and the first cast-iron arch bridge in the United States; the plant of the former Hillman Barge and Construction Company, where river coal and tank barges are still manufactured; and the shops and other support structures of the Monongahela Railway, an important local coal line. HAER's work was presented to the public in two meetings, in July and in November. In 1993, HAER will finish the steel works inventories and turn its attention to the coal and coke industry of the region, complementing work that has been done in America's Industrial Heritage Project (AIHP). 80 HABS/HAER PROGRAMS PRISTED BMA 20 $12 - W Vd 21.21 PENNSYLVANIA FAYETTE COUNTY - - - WATER STREET AND SEVENTEENTH STREET RECORDING PROJECT 133.46 MONONGAHELA RAILWAY COMPANY SHOPS MONONGAHELA VALLEY Mark Pierson 1992 10 3 10FT 3 3M M 2 - 0 5 Scale 3/16 3/16°-1'-0" 3 10 as 10000 88888 .........

Dolinsky, Chief, HABS Cosponsor: Rock Creek Park, National Capital Region, NPS Team Member: Shelley M. Homeyer, Architect, Washington, D.C. The documentation of Pierce Mill in Rock Creek Park, Washington, D.C., began during summer 1990. Pierce Mill, erected in 1829 by Isaac Pierce, a Quaker millwright, is the only extant grist mill in Washington, D.C., as well as an outstanding example of vernacular stone construction: granite stone bearing walls on the exterior, and heavy timber beams and columns on the interior. The mill employed the first generation of Oliver Evans' patented revolutionary elevator/conveyor automated industrial milling process. It is currently operated by the National Park Service for interpretation of the history of grist mills. Rock Creek Park was created in 1890 and incorporated Pierce Mill and other mills situated in Rock Creek in the new park. The main shaft of the mill broke in 1897. The mill machinery was then gradually dismantled and Pierce Mill became a teahouse. In 1935, the mill was restored to a working mill by the National Park Service, with T. T. Waterman as project architect. It was also restored to its original 19th century appearance; however, some changes to the machinery, waterwheel and structure have occurred since 1936. During summer 1990, the team members documented the structure and existing machinery, as well as the milling process. The majority of the fieldwork and drawings were accomplished this first summer, and the project was completed in the Washington office during summer 1992. In 1936, HABS produced photographic and written documentation on the grist mill, to which the 1990 and 1992 documentation will serve as an addendum. The 1990 drawings were also used in restoration work on the mill. 82 HABS/HAER PROGRAMS E.R GROUND EXPLODED ISOMETRIC ATTIC SECOND FLOOR FIRST FLOOR BASEMENT REDUCED TO SCALE - PIERCE MILL ROCK CREE PARK TREM STREE Pierce Mill.

Arzola, Architect, Texas Tech University Patrick B. Guthrie, Architect, California Polytechnic State University Scot C. McBroom, AIA, Architect, Texas Tech University Summer Personnel Paul Homeyer, Architect, University of Texas As part of the exterior restoration project, the Executive Residence and the National Capital Region-Office of the White House Liaison, NPS, began a five-year documentation project in 1988 to systematically record and update existing drawings on the exterior stonework. The White House, built of soft Aquia Creek sandstone (1793 to 1800), was always intended to be painted. Over the past 200 years, thirty to forty layers of paint had been applied that collectively obscured the stone's detail and ornament and, in many places, was uneven and peeling. As the exterior was restored, the old paint was removed and the damaged stone was repaired or replaced and repainted. During this process, HABS recorded the structure with photographs and measured drawings. These records show the exterior elevations with the exposed stone graining and the previously hidden detail. This was the last summer of the exterior recording project. This year's efforts were combined with the interior project, and with the delineation of the stone coursing and graining patterns of the exposed stone onto the base drawings that were produced during past summers. The final inked drawings were formatted to HABS standards and the exterior photographs were correlated with the interior photographs into one comprehensive set for the transmittal to the Library of Congress. The HABS recording project of The White House for the 200th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of The White House was probably the most important permanent activity that we had undertaken in 1992. -Rex W.

This project was combined with the exteriors project and the resulting drawings and photographs were used to illustrate the book The White House: The History of an American Idea by William Seale, published by the AIA Press. The project has also contributed to several exhibitions on the architectural history of the White House. The White House interior has continuously evolved to fit the needs of each new occupant, with major and minor changes executed at least every four years since its construction. Through this project, HABS has produced an accurate, up-to-date set of drawings and large format photographs of the historic main house, as it currently exists. The documentation will be used as the base for future renovation, maintenance, and interpretation. In this, the final year of the project, the team continued its efforts to develop and format to HABS standards the final inked plans, sections and details. The photographs, field notes, and other documentation materials have been correlated and indexed for transmittal to the Library of Congress. 86 HABS/HAER PROGRAMS - - 1 * THE WHITE HOUSE * - 000 R o FEET 1/8 r.o" METERS 96 -- R N-WIVE -- IIIC xin = ON 00 + 00110 00 a be -- ⑆ 3 ...

Dyson, Historian, Ironbridge Institute, United Kingdom [ICOMOS] Amy E. Slaton, Historian, University of Pennsylvania In the summer of 1991, HAER placed a team of six architects, two historians, and a photographer on Wright- Patterson Air Force Base to research and record the historic aeronautical engineering features of the most historic section of the base, the old Wright Field, now known as Area B. HAER was initially invited to Wright-Patterson by the base's Office of Environmental Management and its historic preservation officer. The project has been sponsored by that office and the Aeronautical Systems Center of Area B. HAER was given additional funding in September 1991 to continue its documentation of Area B in 1992. When the project is complete, HAER will have comprehensively documented the site through the production of fifty-two sheets of drawings, 250 photographs, two brochures, and a published historical overview and inventory of structures. Wright Field was constructed in 1926, and was the home of the Army Air Corps' fledgling Materiel Division. Even though aeronautical engineering activities have continued on the base to the present, HAER was most interested in structures and machinery dating from the early days of aeronautical engineering, the 1920s through the 1940s. HAER's architects and historians examined buildings, laboratory, equipment, and the organization of the site, using as a reference a historic structures inventory prepared by the base in association with the Ohio Historic Preservation Office. HAER historians and architects together documented the complicated testing equipment developed by the Army Air Corps. Immensely powerful propeller whirl rigs and wind tunnels (most of which are no longer intact) were used at Wright Field before and during World War II. In the final form, these were unlike any found elsewhere, but part of HAER's analysis of this equipment was to determine which aspect had been borrowed from existing aeronautical technologies, and which were devised to suit the specific needs of Wright Field's projects. This analysis placed Wright Field's facilities in their historical scientific context, and also illuminated the budgetary and administrative constraints operating on Air Corps engineers at different times. HAER's documentation of the site offers substantial data for historians of the military, architecture, and engineering of the country during this period. 88 Key to Isometric I Electric switches, relay switches, rheostat boxes, and accelerator resistors 2.

Hughart, Architecture Technician, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Robert P. Neely, Architecture Technician, University of Kansas Vita Ruskyte, Architect, Institute of Monuments Restoration and Design, Lithuania [ICOMOS] Jack E. Boucher, Photographer, HABS/HAER Office Harpers Ferry was only a wilderness in the early 1700s, situated on a point of land at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers and dominated by the Blue Ridge Mountains in West Virginia. The first European settler on this land was Peters Stephens, a trader, who arrived in 1733 and set up a primitive ferry service at the junction of the two rivers. Fourteen years later, Robert Harper, a millwright and the man for whom the town is named, settled there and took over Stephens' ferry operation. By the mid-nineteenth century, Harpers Ferry had developed from a tiny village to become an important industrial and arms- producing center, as well as a transportation link between the East and West. The arrival of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in the 1830s assured Harpers Ferry of its economic success. However, in October 1859, John Brown's raid broke the tranquility of this peaceful community and the eighteen-month civil war that followed wreaked havoc on the town's economy. The armory, built by Congress in the 1790s at the urging of President George Washington, and arsenals were burned in 1861 to keep them from falling into Confederate hands. Because of the town's geographic location and its railway system, both Union and Confederate troops travelled through or occupied the town intermittently throughout the war. The largest military operation against Harpers Ferry occurred when General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's Confederate troops seized the town and captured Colonel Dixon Miles' 12,000-man Union garrison-- the largest surrender of U.S. troops during the Civil War. Many townspeople moved away, discouraged by continual war damage and the lack of employment. After the war, some returned, hoping to begin life anew and to revive the economy of the town. In the late 1800s, chances for economic recovery were destroyed with a series of devastating floods. For years, buildings remained empty, and the once-thriving industrial sites were reclaimed by nature. The 1992 HABS team prepared measured drawings of the Frederick A. Roeder Store, the Frederick Roeder House, White Hall Tavern, and the Armorer's Dwelling in Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. These structures were previously documented by HABS in the late 1950s and early 1960s, but have undergone numerous restorations and renovations since. The team recorded these buildings with greater precision, using more accurate field techniques and up-to-date standards to show the structures as they presently stand. The buildings were also re-photographed by Jack E. Boucher, duplicating views that he had originally produced in 1958 and 1962. All new material will be transmitted to the Library of Congress as addenda to earlier records in the collection. 90 .if or : KITCHEN 13.8019.5 r r It's 18.02" ON r. 14'40' 19.5" ROOM 7 RUNS or ADDITION BULT CJ832-1852 DESTROYED OR REMOVED BY FLOOD, PROBABLY IN 1936 into "I = "i | 20 FIRST FLOOR PLAN SCALE SECOND FLOOR PLAN THIRD/ATTIC FLOOR PLAN D FEET 1/4"+1'-0" 3 METERS Armorer's Dwelling House.

Cutone, Architecture Technician, Syracuse University Xuan-Hong Thi Ho, Architecture Technician, Mississippi State University HABS added to its collection of sites associated with presidents of the United States by documenting three homes at the Harry S Truman National Historic Site in Independence, Missouri. The Frank Wallace House was built in 1915 for Frank Gates Wallace, brother of Bess Wallace Truman. The house is located at 601 West Truman Road, adjacent to the Truman home, as part of the family compound. The small bungalow of wood frame construction, clad in wood shingles, is typical of the neighborhood. The modest structure is enhanced with many typical twentieth century detalls: hardwood floors, wood baseboards, a brick fireplace, decorative wood ceiling beams in the living and dining rooms, 3-over-1 double-hung windows, and locally- made brass hardware. The original rear porch was remodeled as an extension to the kitchen. The George Wallace house was built in 1916 for George Porterfield Wallace, another brother of Bess Truman. It is located at 60 West Truman Road, adjacent to the Truman Home. The structure, a small bungalow, is also of wood frame construction, clad in wood shingles. The structure includes a 1920s bedroom and bathroom addition and is enhanced with many typical twentieth century details: hardwood floors, wood baseboards, a brick fireplace with built-in bookcases, decorative wood ceiling beams in the living room, 9- over-1 double-hung windows, and locally-made brass hardware. The Noland/Haukenberry house was built in the mid-nineteenth century and purchased in 1908 by Joseph Tilford Noland and Margaret Ellen Truman Noland, aunt and uncle of Harry S Truman. It was later owned by their granddaughter, Ardis Ragland Haukenberry. The house is located at 216 North Delaware Street, directly across from the Truman home. The two-story Victorian house, of wood-frame construction with clapboard siding, has been expanded over the years. The original section of the house is a two-story structure with a gable roof and an L-shaped front porch with a spindle frieze. A two-story rear addition was built in 1920, and later additions include a one-story rear kitchen wing and an enclosed south-facing porch. The house is enhanced with hardwood floors, wood baseboards, ornate hardware, and a number of colored glass windows. These properties were recently acquired by the National Park Service as part of an historic district adjacent to the home occupied by the Trumans during his presidency. The Wallace houses are early twentieth-century bungalows of the type found throughout the Midwest and the West, and the Noland-Haukenberry is a late nineteenth-century Victorian.

The Johnson house and kitchen building were built by 3 free black businessman before the Civil War. The HABS drawings and photographs will enable systems engineers and maintenance workers to plan the imminent installation of a new HVAC system. and to repair or replace existing electrical, plumbing, structural and ornamental materials at Melrose. The Johnson-MeCallum House drawings will aid National Park Service architects in stabilizing two structures that, at this time, rely on each other for lateral support. The urban archaeological work is also reflected in the HABS documentation and. as with the Melrose drawings. will aid in future interpretation of the site. 04 TOP POST 37'.0° XXXXXXXXX ********** ********* ********** - MARA TOP ROOP CUPOLA 47.10" TOP OF CORNICE 41'-7" ATTIC FLOOR 39'.3" STATEMENT CERTIFY 10'-1" SECOND FLOOR CEILING sear STAIR AMOUNT 31' 4" SECOND FLOOR 33'-6" FIRST FLOOR CEILING 20'-8" t ETAIR LARDHING or FIRST FLOOR FIRST FLOOR r.ir 7'.11" BOTTOW JOB BOTTOM JOIST . 1 6'-7" BASEMENT FLOOR BASEMENT FLOOR a 0'.0" 0.0 NOTE ORADE APPROXIMATELY $ BELOW FIRE FLOOR AT SECTION CUT SECTION 8-8 FEET 145°1'-0" RHHJ WETERS " MATERIALS STRUCTURE FINISH FLOORS BADEMENT ONICE AND CONCRETE FIRST FLOOR WOODEN WOODEN BOARD B.

Rock Harbor Lighthouse is the oldest of four at Isle Royale National Park. It is no longer a functioning light, but is currently used as an exhibition space to interpret Great Lakes shipping history and the lives of light keepers. Passage Light Station is operated by the U.S. Coast Guard, which maintains the fog signal and the light. This project presented logistical and operational challenges to the team, whose work at these remote sites needed to proceed in spite of Lake Superior storms, frost, and dependence on the availability of Park Service boats for transportation.

Boucher, HABS Washington Office Aerial Photography/Mapping: Air Survey Corporation of Sterling, Virginia During this second and last year of the pilot project to document Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, an expanded team of historians and delineators prepared comprehensive written and graphic materials that will fulfill two planned goals, to help establish HABS/HAER guidelines for recording such a site, and to provide baseline information for park managers. The project as a whole falls under the aegis of HABS, which assessed the overall landscape and two adjacent service stations, while ten vehicular and pedestrian bridges are cataloged as HAER sites. This parkway--also designated Reservation No. 360 in the system of National Capital parks--was selected as the model for study because of its uncontested historic significance, integrity, size, and proximity to the HABS/HAER Washington office. The documentation was timed to conclude before the NPS initiates rehabilitation, which is slated to begin in 1996. The methodology for drawing the parkway and its features was new for the division. As no complete set of as-is drawings were available, about 25 percent of the project budget was spent on aerial photography and digitized mapping. Produced at a generous scale of 1"=40', depicted are l' contours, individual trees with canopy and trunk, the creek, bridge crossings, and more. The plans were redrawn by the summer team on 34" X 44" mylar--fourteen sheets for the entire 2.5-mile parkway, from the Lincoln Memorial to the National Zoo tunnel. An overlay system using pin-bar registration permitted the vegetation to be drawn on separate sheets. In addition, bridge elevations and landscape sections were made; there are forty-nine sheets in all. The historians produced a comprehensive overview of the parkway from pre-construction to present day, as well as individual reports on related bridges and filling stations. Photography - from roadside and air -- capture the parkway and its features from all angles. 100 BRIDGES OF ROCK CREEK AND POTOMAC PARKWAY, 1897-1964 CALVERT STREET BROGE XIV FEET 20 8 50 TAFT XIII MEMORIAL BRIDGE MASSACHUSETTS X1 METERS 240 AVENUE BRIDGE 16 STREET BRIDGE IX STREET BRIDGE vin STREET BRIDGE CURRENT GROUND VI ALIGNMENT PENNSYLVANIA PARKWAY AVENUE BRIDGE HISTORIC GROUND K STREET BRIDGE ALIGNMENT WHITEHURST FREEWAY ROCK CREEK BROGE RAMP 3 LEGEND 150 306 NOTE BRIDGE DRAWINGS AND DIMENSIONS ARE MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE BRIDGE, 1939-41 BASED ON ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEER BRIDGE LOCATION KEY ING DRAWINGS SOURCE NATIONAL ARCHIVES HAER No DC-22 ALL DRAWINGS ARE SOUTH ELEVATION VIEWS CATHEDRAL AVE ROCK CREEK AND POTOMAC PARKWAY PARKWAY 82 150 TOTAL LENGTH 1341 WILLIAM H.

Eve, Historian, Ironbridge Institute, United Kingdom [ICOMOS] Lee Ann Jackson, Architecture Technician, Auburn University Bald Mountain was one of two projects conducted during summer 1992 under HAER's Hard Rock Mining Initiative. This initiative was launched at the Hard Rock Mining Workshop held in Death Valley National Monument in January 1989. Since then, HAER has focused one of its documentation arms on historic gold mining and other hard-rock mining resources. Aside from the work done in Joshua Tree National Monument, this particular project was the first venture cosponsored by the mining industry since the initiative was launched. The Bald Mountain Gold Mill is located in the gold fields of the Black Hills of South Dakota, on lands owned by Wharf Resources, a Canadian mining group. In addition to histories and photographs, the team produced a series of process drawings that explain the counter current decantation process for refining gold and other precious metals. This was particularly challenging, as much of the mill had collapsed. However, enough of it remained that the combination of ruins, original drawings, and eyewitness accounts by the last mill manager allowed the team to recreate the process on mylar.

Payne, Supervisory Architect, Columbia University Joseph A. Boquiren, Architecture Technician, University of Maryland Joseph Elliott, Photographer, Sellersville, Pennsylvania Attila Kovacs, Architect, Technical University of Budapest, Hungary [ICOMOS] William M. Lawrence, Historian, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign The team documented twelve cast and wrought-iron metal-truss bridges within Ohio that are representative of an important phase in the history of bridge engineering in the United States in general, and in the state in particular. The replacement of wood with iron in such structures during the nineteenth century was one of the first significant results of the Industrial Revolution. The architects measured and produced record drawings on three of the bridges. A historian conducted research on the structures, relying on documents compiled by David Simmons of the Ohio Historical Society. Large format photographs were produced of all twelve bridges. Upgrading the nation's highway infrastructure has accelerated the risk to historic bridges of all types, but the rarest is the composite cast and wrought-iron. Of the hundreds built between 1840-80, only sixty-four survive. To mitigate the threat to these engineering resources, Emory Kemp of the Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archaeology at West Virginia University and HAER Chief Eric DeLony initiated a concerted program to document the survivors. Ohio was a major center for bridge fabrication during this period and, as a consequence, has a remarkable number of these types of bridges extant. n the HAER team in Ohio proved to be a real winner this summer. The drawings look great and Mike's histories show much thought and in-depth research. David A.

DeLony, Chief, HAER G. Gray Fitzsimons, HAER Historian/Engineer Cosponsors: Friends of the Folsom Powerhouse Office of Historic Preservation, California Department of Parks and Recreation Team Members: Laurence Shoup, Historian Brian Grogan, Photographer Folsom Powerhouse was the first hydroelectric plant in the United States to transmit high-voltage alternating- circuit electricity over a long distance. The date was July 13, 1895, and the distance was twenty-two miles from Folsom to the city of Sacramento. The ultimate goal of this project was to deliver electricity by way of high-tension transmission lines at low cost to the industries and residential neighborhoods around San Francisco, Oakland, and the Bay area. Now a California state park, Folsom Powerhouse was the flagship of Pacific Gas and Electric, a major public utility of the Golden State, and is a designated national historic landmark, a historic mechanical engineering landmark, and a national historic civil engineering landmark. Part one of this two-summer project consisted of locating and copying primary source materials, such as drawings, photographs, plant and equipment inventories, original reports, specifications and correspondence pertaining to planning, construction, development and operation of this hydroelectric complex. Accompanying this information is a twenty to thirty-page annotated bibliography on Folsom and early hydroelectric development. In addition, recommendations for future research will be included. This initial phase of the project also encompasses large format photography of Folsom. As a result of findings during phase one and, pending the availability of funding, the second summer will produce a complete documentation package consisting of measured and interpretive drawings, historical reports, and large format photographs. 106 Exciter (foreground) and generator (top of picture), Folsom Power House.

Kiernat, Architecture Technician, Arizona State University Lester Ross, Historical Archeologist, San Bernardino County Museum, California Karl W. Stumpf, Architect, Falls Church, Virginia Richard Vidutis, Historian, Takoma Park, Maryland The Lost Horse Gold Mill was documented under HAER's Hard Rock Mining Initiative because it is a prime interpretive site of turn-of-the-century gold-mining practices in the southern California deserts. It is significant because of the efficiency of its operation and is one of the few surviving ten-stamp gold mills in the United States. Its location, directly over the mine shaft, negated the need for transporting ore to a central collection point for processing and cut down markedly on operating costs, while increasing productivity and profit. Last summer, HAER documented the Wall Street Mill and the Pinto Wye Arrastra. Since 25 percent of the mining complex is still standing, the team reconstructed the site on mylar through field measurements, archival research, and interviews with local informants knowledgeable of the Lost Horse Gold Mine. The architects produced twelve sheets of measured and interpretive drawings. The historian's documentary research and interviews aided the architects in their reconstruction of the Lost Horse milling operation. Because of the significance of archeological features in understanding and interpreting western mining sites, a fourth component of archeology was included, supplementing traditional HAER drawings, photographs, and histories. HAER drawings were annotated to include archeological features. Archeological reports were included as part of the written documentation. Documentation of the Lost Horse Gold Mill, and the Wall Street Mill and Pinto Wye Arrastra accomplished in 1991, developed a considerable interest in early gold mining in Southern California. Tom Mulhern, associate regional director for Park Historic Preservation, NPS Western Regional Office, currently plans to publish the work of these teams. Publication is to be undertaken by the Denver Service Center's Graphics Division, Dick Morishegla, chief. There was one unexpected event. The team was rudely awakened the Sunday morning after the project started by an earthquake centered near Yucca Valley, approximately twenty-two miles from the site and forty-four miles from the field office. Neither site was damaged nor was the team harmed. 108 HAER PROJECTS The 'stamp' consists of a in the mortar, ore rock IS fed stem, shoe, boss and tappet from the ore feeder to be Each stamp weighs between processed A mixture of 750 and 800 pounds water, ore rock and mercury Battery are mixed and crushed to a Bull or @ Frame fine sand-like consistency (pulp) which IS forced Fly Wheel through the screen onto the amalgamation table The amalgamation table IS coated with mercury The mercury adheres to the gold Stem particles to form an amalgam S 6 Cam Shaft 1 @ 4 Cam Tappet Wood Guide/ Splash Cover € Mortar Single Discharge @ 6 'Fraser & Chalmers @ Water Chicago, ILL Pipe Chute or No 33' Feed Throat Screen and Screen Frame Bettery Plete Boss Amalgamation Table D Mercury Trep Trough Die Shoe 3FL 2 0.5 Two - Five Stamp 05 0.5 , 15 Battery Axonometric Scale 12 Scale 1'-0" - Martine Cash, 1992 HISTORIC MINING INITIATIVE RECORDING PROJECT LOST HORSE GOLD MILL 1893 I HISTORIC AMERICAN 14 3/4 MILES BOUTH SOUTHWEST TWENTYHINE PALMS and I TWENTYHINE PALMS VICINITY RIVERSIDE COUNTY CALIFORNIA CA 120 Lost Horse Gold Mill - 1893.

Esperdy, Historian, City University of New York Devon Perkins, Architect, Yale University Corinne Smith, Engineer, Cornell University Todd Thibodeau, Historian, Arizona State University Joanne McAllister-Hewlings, Landscape Architect, Sheffield University, United Kingdom [ICOMOS] Jet Lowe, HAER Staff Photographer HAER's Merritt Parkway documentation project, like the HAES Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway project, combined aspects of both division programs (HABS/HAER) to encompass landscape, roadway, bridges, and buildings. The Merritt is one link in a much longer arterial "express through-route" that begins in New York City and continues across Connecticut's Housatonic River as the Wilber Cross Parkway. It was singularly created to ease congestion on the Boston Post Road/U.S. Route 1, and in doing so opened up Fairfield County for suburbanization. Architect George Dunkelberger (1891-1960) designed every bridge exterior, service station, and toll plaza for the Merritt, as architect with the Connecticut Highway Department's Bureau of Engineering and Construction. Most notable are the dozens of Art Moderne and Art Deco bridges with exaggerated pylons, intricate sgraffito, and metal detailing. All built between 1935-40, the bridges define the Merritt as the nation's only non-rustic-style parkway. The project was sponsored by Connecticut Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration officials in anticipation of preparing a preservation plan for the parkway, and ultimately restoring its landscape and bridges. The multi-disciplinary team of architects, landscape architects, historians, and an engineer prepared comprehensive written and graphic information, including an extensive historical overview, ca. seventy individual bridge and building reports, and twenty-one sheets of drawings depicting the highly ornamental bridges and landscape features, and several hundred contemporary and historic photographs. "I would like to commend Ms. Sara Leach and the rest of the (HABS/HAER) study team for the outstanding job done on the historic documentation of the Merritt Parkway. I have always appreciated the beauty and unique character of the Merritt Parkway. This appreciation has been greatly enhanced by the information the HABS/HAER study has presented. I have also observed that since the staff of the Connecticut Department of Transportation has reviewed the HABS/HAER information on the Merritt Parkway, they have undertaken the necessary transportation improvements to this facility in a much more sensitive manner and with an enlightened appreciation of its signi- ficance. The work of HABS/HAER has helped clarify this focus on the bridges and the landscape, and will continue to aid our efforts in these areas. I believe that the progress the Department has made in dealing with the sensitive issues associated with the Merritt Parkway has been significantly enhanced by the work of the HABS/HAER team." --Emil H.

Croteau, Supervisory Architect, HAER Washington Office Julie A. Dickson, Landscape Architect, University of Virginia Bryan D. Fish, Architecture Technician, University of Illinois Jet Lowe, HAER Staff Photographer Richard H. Quin, Historian, Middle Tennessee State University Daniella Trettel, Architect, National University of Cordoba, Argentina [ICOMOS] The multi-year National Park Service Roads and Bridges Recording Project continued in 1992 with the documentation of Mount Rainier National Park's road system. This year the team studied the development of road and bridge construction from the first wagon road to the present, with a particular interest in road landscapes. In 1891, James Longmire, first settler of the area, constructed a rough wagon road to Longmire Springs, known for its healing mineral waters. Mount Rainier National Park was established in 1899, and soon after, the Army Corps of Engineers was commissioned to survey, design and construct the first government road into the wilderness. The Corps' "Road to Paradise," built across mountainous terrain, was hailed as the first road in America to reach a glacier and provided access to the bounty of wildflowers in the subalpine meadows. With the establishment of the National Park Service in 1916, new road proposals were surveyed and constructed to satisfy the demand for access. The Park Service adopted a "lay lightly on the land" policy and established the rustic style of park design, using native stones, logs and other indigenous materials to harmonize with natural landscape. In 1925, the NPS and the Bureau of Public Roads (BPR) reached an agreement that shifted design and construction to BPR management. Today, many fine examples of historic bridges and other related structures remain in use, though threatened by safety codes, traffic increases, and the harsh glacial environment of Mount Rainier. In addition to standard HAER documentation, an illustrated interpretive brochure was produced for distribution to the visitors of Mount Rainier National Park. "I was very impressed by the accomplishments and professionalism of these young people Hopefully, the devotion expressed by the team has fostered an appreciation that will be reflected in future design and construction technologies that integrate design components into the whole landscape with as much success as the original designers achieved. The efforts of the HAER team are extremely timely, as the park administration prepares Mount Rainier National Park to enter its second century, which begins on March 2, 1999. The documentation of the historic bridges and road-related structures through measured and interpretive drawings, large-format photographs, and written data will be extremely beneficial for us in this endeavor.

HAER PROJECTS SNOW SQUALL [Bow of the Clipper Ship] Portland, Maine Project Leader: Robbyn L. Jackson, HAER Architect Cosponsor: Spring Point Museum Council of American Maritime Museums (CAMM) Team Members: Dale O. Waldron, Supervisory Architect, Rhode Island School of Design Karl N. Bodensiek, Architect, Roger Williams College, Sally Kress Tompkins Maritime Intern Molly J. Horvath, Curator, Spring Point Museum David C. Switzer, SNOW SQUALL Project Director The clipper ship SNOW SQUALL was the third of four vessels built by Cornelius Butler at his yard on Turner's Island in Cape Elizabeth (now South Portland), Maine. It was launched into the Fore River on July 14, 1851, and for thirteen years flew the flag of New York merchant Charles R. Green in the Pacific and South American trades, carrying general cargoes out and bringing tea, spices and coffee in. On her final voyage in 1864, bound from New York to San Francisco, she ran aground in the Straits of LeMaire near Cape Horn, and was sailed to Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands, where she was condemned and abandoned after transshipment of her cargo and sale of her gear. SNOW SQUALL lay as a hulk at the Falkland Islands Company jetty for more than a century, subject to harm by natural and human causes. Photographs taken ca. 1880 reveal wood stripped from her upper hull for use as building material. Storms and rot caused further damage, tons of stone jetty blocks shattered and covered her midsection, and a sinking barge crushed her stern. By the mid 1980s, the only intact accessible remains of this ship consisted of her bow, from the keel up to 'tweendeck level. Four archeological expeditions, sponsored by Harvard University's Peabody Museum of Archeology and Ethnology, achieved preliminary documentation of SNOW SQUALL's bow between 1982 and 1986, recovering all above-water structural members. In 1987, the final expedition conducted by Spring Point Museum retrieved the bow's 36'-long underwater section. SNOW SQUALL's bow survives today as the sole remaining example of the hundreds of American-built clipper ships that made record-setting voyages carrying goods and passengers to and from Gold Rush-era California, Australia, and the Far East. A clipper was very narrow in proportion to length, with a sharp hollow bow; it was square-rigged, typically with an enormous spread of canvas. Vessels of this type developed in the 1840s were designed for speed rather than large cargo capacity in a boom time of high freight rates. By the late 1850s, economic conditions favored slower ships of greater cargo capacity and smaller crews, so clipper construction was abandoned. This HAER project produced measured drawings, a written historical report and large-format photographs of the bow. 114 HAER PROJECTS Top to bottom, HAER architect Dale Waldron and HAER intern Karl Bodensiek assist SNOW SQUALL project director David Switzer in attaching station lines to the bow section of the clipper ship in preparation for their measurement of the curvature of the hull's starboard side.

The five National Park Service regional offices charged with external historic preservation responsibilities administer the HABS/HAER mitigative documentation program. The actual work is usually conducted by contractors and supervised by the responsible Federal agency.

The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 10:00 a.m., at 1st Bank of the United States, Independence National Historic Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Hon. Peter H. Kostmayer (chairman of the subcommittee)] presiding. Present: Representative Kostmayer. OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN PETER H. KOSTMAYER Mr. KOSTMAYER. The subcommittee will come to order. The Sub- committee on Energy and the Environment meets today in Phila- delphia in this historic building, the architectural drawings of which are now preserved in the Library of Congress. We meet for an oversight hearing on the Historic American Building Survey, HABS, and the Historic American Engineering Record, HAER. America has a long and rich architectural heritage in historic buildings and engineering structures which still remain as evi- dence of how earlier Americans lived, worked, and worshipped. Since the establishment of HABS in 1933 and HAER in 1969, sur- veys have been completed and documentation has been recorded on more than 27,000 structures all of which are now in the Library of Congress for research and are accessible to the American public. Because of their holistic approach and extraordinary vision, these programs have brought about an increased awareness of pres- ervation needs and preservation technology. In the initial memo- randum from Charles Peterson, architect with the National Park Service, to his superiors, he stated that such a survey, "should be a list of building sites which include public buildings, churches, resi- dences, bridges, forts, barns, mills, shops, rural outbuildings, and any other kind of structure of which there are good specimen extant and those structures which by fate or accident are identified with historic events." HABS operates under congressional authorization and a tripar- tite agreement among the Department of Interior, the Library of Congress, and the American Institute of Architects. HAER oper- ates under an agreement between Interior, the Library of Congress, and the American Society of Civil Engineers. Due to the infrequent (1) 2 3 and small appropriation increases over the past few years and the increasing costs of carrying out its mission, the ability of HABS firm's project involves the restoration of historic buildings and and HAER to respond to new projects is now in serious jeopardy.

I am an architect, and I currently serve as 1st Vice Presi- dent president of the of American the Institute of Architects. and I will become 4 5 funds available for travel, equipment, supplies, material, and repro- ductions. As a result, HABS ability to respond to new projects is in very serious jeopardy. THE AMERICAN INSTITI TEOF ARCHITECTS The President has recommended only $2.1 million for HABS and its engineering counterpart, the Historic American Engineering Record for fiscal year 1993. The AIA testified earlier this year before the House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee that this money should be augmented with the $1 million for emergency and high priority recording projects, for a total of $3.1 million. The AIA also believes that the HABS Advisory Board, as out- lined in the Tripartite Agreement, should be reestablished. The Carter Administration saw fit to reorganize the Federal preserva- tion programs and, in effect, abolished the HABS Advisory Board. It had consisted of 11 noncompensated representatives of the three organizations as well as nationally competent experts to set policy and guide HABS' effort. The AIA is currently discussing various options with Secretary Statement of Lujan's office and hope that he will take action soon. I would like to submit for the hearing record a copy of the 1962 Tripartite Susan A. Maxman, FAIA Agreement for Continuing the Historic American Buildings Survey, as well as pertinent correspondence and newspaper articles. on behalf of Given the increasingly difficult financial situation of the HABS program, the Advisory Board could provide much needed technical The American Institute of Architects assistance with documentation projects as well as raising the visi- bility of the program. It would allow the private sector to assist in before the the Federal government's efforts lending valuable and free exper- tise to the HABS professional staff. I can only wonder why the Ad- U.S. House of Representatives ministration is so hesitant to take advantage of such a golden op- Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs portunity. During the late 1980s, the AIA completed an in-depth study of the future of the architectural profession and the construc- Subcommittee on Energy and Environment tion industry. This study indicates that a very significant percent- age of the structures that America will be using in the 21st Centu- ry already exist today. So you see, preservation is not really a May 11, 1992 luxury; it is a necessity. We must ensure that our nation's preservation programs are adequately funded and efficiently organized to meet what will be a growing demand for education, cultural research, and materials technology. The AIA believes that HABS can play an important role in meeting the challenges that the future presents. I would like to take this opportunity to recognize Charles Peter- son for his courage and conviction in protecting our nation's rich architectural heritage. I am proud to be his colleague in the archi- tectural profession. In closing, I would like again to quote Wolf Von Eckardt who said, and I quote, "HABS and HAER are essential brain cells in America's memory. Without them, it would be almost impossible to maintain continuity for the tangible aspect of our culture." Thank you again for this opportunity to testify, and if you have any ques- tions, I would be very happy to answer them.

[The prepared statement of Mr. Bowers follows:] The goal of the collections is to provide architects, engineers, scholars, and interested members of the public with comprehensive documentation of buildings, sites, structures and objects significant in American history and the growth of the built environment. HABS/HAER documentation is a compilation of both graphic and written records that explain and illustrate the significant characteristics of an historic building, eite, structure or object. Compiled over the past five decades, the documentation is the basis of an encyclopedic record of the hietoric built environment of the United States. Architectural and engineering documentation broadens the American historical experience. Historic buildings, sites, structures and objects are frequently the only tangible evidence of history. They can open new avenues through which later observers can understand the past. One technique of studying history is by examining artifacts from the past. Historic buildings, sites, structures and objects are physical evidence that can provide insights into past 12 13 2 cultures, activities, practice, evants, or persons. 3 The two programs have consistant etandards concerning the eize and HABS/HAER Programs: HABS/HAER documentation is produced in three ways: format of documentation as well as its reproducibility.

Membership, held by more than 3086 110,000 individual professional engineers, is about equally divided among engineers in private practice; engineers working for Feder- al, State, or local governments; and those employed in research and I would be pleased to answer any questions. academia. The Society's goals are to develop engineers who will im- prove technology and apply it to further the objectives of society as a whole, to promote the dedication and technical capability of its members, and to advance the profession of civil engineering. In addition to my responsibilities with ASCE, I currently serve as Chief of the Materials Testing Laboratory here at the Philadelphia Water Department. I brought along with me today Edward Ku- chefski, who is the Director of the Fairmount Water Works Inter- pretive Center for the Philadelphia Water Department, as he would have an interest in the hearing today. ASCE has a deep and longstanding interest in the Historic Amer- ican Engineering Record. America's vast size, plentiful natural re- sources and regional differences have contributed to the nation's rich and diverse history of technical invention and innovation. His- torical structures not only testify to the creativity and imagination of America's engineers and builders, but also illustrate the nation's physical development and document its technological heritage. The Historical American Engineering Record was established in 1969 by an agreement among the Department of the Interior, the Library of Congress, and ASCE. This accord, also known as the tri- partite agreement, was later ratified by four other engineering so- cieties: the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Insti- tute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and the American Institute of Mining, Met- allurgical and Petroleum Engineers. Under the tripartite agreement, the Interior Department's Na- tional Park Service administers the HAER program with funds ap- propriated by Congress and supplemented by donations from out- side sources. The National Park Service sets qualitative standards, organizes and staffs recording projects, and selects sites for docu- mentation. The Library of Congress curates the records, makes them available for study, and provides reproductions to the public. ASCE and other engineering societies provide professional counsel through their national memberships. HAER performs a valuable role by documenting the nation's his- toric industrial and engineering heritage. HAER surveys and docu- ments America's historic industrial, engineering, and transporta- tion resources, and records the working and living conditions of the 18 19 people associated with them. HAER conducts a nationwide pro- gram of documentation in cooperation with state and local govern- ments, private industry, professional societies, universities, and ASCE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF preservation groups, as well as other Federal agencies.

Documentation is America's great contribution to historic preservation.

These records are in the form of over 49,000 original measured drawings, 145,000 large format photographs, and over 96,000 pages of written archi- tectural and historical information, in addition to field documenta- tion and service copies. Today these collections are counted among the Library's best - 4 - known and most widely used and disseminated. Over 100 libraries and archives, both in this country and abroad, now have copies of these materials in their collections. These records have provided the basis for countless publications, exhibitions, and special studies; for the analysis, appreciation, repair, restoration, and even rebuild- ing of the nation's heritage of historic sites and structures; and as source materials for almost four generations of students, scholars, and professionals in architecture, engineering, design, historic pres- ervation, history, genealogy, and many other subjects. From their inception, both the Historic American Building Survey and the Historic American Engineering Record have oper- ated under tripartite agreements among the Department of the In- 24 25 terior, the Library of Congress, and the organizations representing the professions of architecture and engineering. A critical feature of each of these agreements was the provision of Advisory Boards STATEMENT OF C.

THE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS WASHINGTON. DC. 20540 Sincerely, July The James Librarian H. Billington of Congress May 8, 1992 The Honorable Peter H. Kostmayer Chairman Subcommittee on Energy and Environment Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs Dear Mr. Chairman: U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D. C. 20515-6201 I appreciate your invitation to present testimony at the oversight hearing to examine the Issues surrounding the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER). I regret that prior commitments prevent my attendance. C. Ford Peatross, Curator of Architecture, Design, and Engineering Collections in our Prints and Photographs Division, will state the position of the Library of Congress in my stead. The Library of Congress helped to initiate both of these excellent programs and remains responsible for the preservation, organization, and service to the public of the documentation which they produce. Since the first HABS records arrived at the Library of Congress in 1934, these collections have grown to be among our largest and most widely known and used. Today, thousands of historic sites and structures throughout the nation bear bronze plaques stating that their HABS or HAER documentation in preserved in the Library of Congress. The Library is proud of this achievement and takes seriously its responsibilities as a party to the tripartite agreements under which the Historic American Buildings Survey and the Historic American Engineering Record operate. It is in this light that I support the reactivation of the two advisory boards which serve as the principal mechanisms for the proper functioning of these agreements and as outstanding models of the benefits of cooperation between both government agencies and the public and private sectors. In addition, I would like to recommend that you consider the possibility of making available 10 these programs the resources necessary to allow emergency recording of endangered historic sites or structures, a long-standing need. 31 Mr. Kostmayer.

This Agraement was reeffirmed in 1962 and legally remains in effect. The Tripertite Agreement has baen a longetanding contract of co- operatioo among the Librery of Congress, the Exacutive, and the public constitusocy through the AIA. Howsvar, Mr. Chris r. Dela- porta, Dirsctor of HCRS and the Exacutiva's rapresentetiva in the Agreement, has chosen to trest this Agreement casually by failing to inform or consult with the other partiee of the Agreement. The Tripertite Agreement is e legel document thet requires consultation and must not be ignored. It preecribad a means of consultstioo through an eppointed Advisory Board. Since the creetion of HCRS, cooperetion among tbs parties of the Agraement has ceased to exist, and the Advisory Boerd has been purportedly termsd by Hr. Delaporte to be "technically dsed". Vecencies on the.Advisory Board have not been fillsd, and meatings have not baen bald. In May, 1978, shortly after the Department of the Intarior's creation of the MCRS, the AIA received e response to its inquiry regarding the future of HABS within the newly asteblished HCRS. In his response Mr. Deleporte essured us thet an important consideration in this re- organization was the AIA's interasts. However, the AIA has haard nothing further from Mr. Deleporte.

That external organizations are willing to pay for\nHABS/HAER research is encouraging but it is not conclusive in judging effectiveness. Dollars\nreceived, after all, is an input measure; the output of any organization must still be assessed. In terms\nof HABS/HAER, the most usual output measure is that of transmittals--the number of drawings,\nphotographs and histories that are transmitted to the permanent collection. In the last twelve years\nHABS/HAER has doubled the size of its collections at the Library of Congress and is well on its\nway to tripling what existed in 1980. HABS/HAER transmittal statistics continue at very high levels,\nusually at twenty or more times the level typically experienced during the 1970s. In FY 1992, this\nmeant 573 sheets of measured drawings, 6,417 large format photographs, and 4,971 data pages.\nAnother measure is the annual production of the organization's publications. HABS/HAER currently\nhas twenty-four publications under development (the largest number produced to date, by far). In\nterms of quantity, HABS/HAER is an extremely productive government organization.\n3.\nWhat is the quality of the organization's production? Production numbers, however impressive,\ndo not indicate organizational effectiveness. Research organizations need to have their work evaluated\nin terms of quality and HABS/HAER is no different. One method is to assess the number of\npublications published by university presses and the professional press. Government publications do\nnot provide a good indication of quality, as the Government Printing Office will print whatever it is\npaid to print. University presses, on the other hand, submit proposed manuscripts to peer and\ncritical review by a publishing committee. The lack of funds requires that only the very finest of\nmanuscripts be published -- one acquisitions editor for a press that is currently publishing a\nHABS/HAER manuscript told me that she rejects 400 book proposals for every one that she accepts!\nIn this respect, HABS/HAER has forthcoming books with the Smithsonian Institution Press, the Johns\nHopkins University Press, the American Society of Civil Engineers and others. The standard work\non HABS/HAER recording is published by American Institute of Architects Press. In addition,\nHABS/HAER staff are routinely published by the professional journals dealing with historic\narchitecture, engineering and industry. HABS/HAER needs to do more in this area, but much is\nalready being accomplished. Reviews of these publications have been excellent.\n4.\nHow good is the research staff? Research organizations such as HABS/HAER are labor-intensive\nenterprises--as much of 90 percent of the annual budget goes to people. Further, this labor intensity\nis a very special kind--research is a mentally intense activity. This annual report is a compilation of\nthe many, many contributions made by HABS/HAER staff to their respective fields, their awards and\nhonors.\nJudging the effectiveness of this nation's public and private organizations is a priority for a country whose\npeople are concerned about American competitiveness and long-term economic health. The HABS/HAER\nDivision receives less direct appropriations than virtually any organization within the National Park Service\nand, perhaps, the Department of the Interior. Yet, the quantity and quality of the historical research produced\ncontinues at exceptionally high levels. The division's effectiveness can be assessed by reviewing this annual\nreport to answer the above four questions. We invite you to peruse the pages of this annual report for those\nends.\nRobert tapsch\nii\nHABS/HAER Finalizes Senior Management Positions\nIn 1992, HABS/HAER finalized all senior management positions for the division. Development of the new senior\nmanagement team began with the formalization of Eric DeLony's position as chief of HAER. Next came the\nappointment and promotion of John Burns, long-term HABS architect, as HABS/HAER deputy chief. Finally came\nthe appointment and promotion of Paul Dolinsky as chief of HABS, and Kim Hoagland as HABS senior architectural\nhistorian. This management team will stand HABS/HAER in good stead throughout the 1990s.\nRobert J. Kapsch, Ph.D., HABS/HAER Chief. Thirteen years as\ndivision chief and twenty-eight years of Federal service, where he\nserved in a number of managerial positions with a variety of Federal\nagencies, including the National Institute of Standards and\nTechnology's Center for Building Technology, departments of\nHousing and Urban Development, the U.S. Air Force, and the\nCentral Intelligence Agency. Trained as an engineer, he has\nmaster's degrees from George Washington University in\nmanagement and historic preservation. Kapsch recently completed\nthe first draft of his dissertation, \"Labor History of the Construction\nand Reconstruction of the White House, 1793-1817,\" from the\nUniversity of Maryland's American Studies Program. Award of his\nsecond doctorate is expected in 1993. Kapsch was awarded his first\nPh.D. in engineering and architecture from Catholic University in\n1983. He was an American Political Science Association\nCongressional Fellow. He is a long-time member of many\norganizations including the American Society of Civil Engineers, a\nliaison member of the AIA Committee on Historic Resources, the\nSociety of Architectural Historians, the Society for Industrial\nArcheology, the National Railway Historical Society and others.\nJohn A. Burns, AIA, HABS/HAER Deputy Chief. A graduate from\nthe Pennsylvania State University with both a bachelor of\narchitecture degree and a bachelor of arts degree in Art History, he\nhas twenty years of Federal service, starting as an architect with\nHABS and rising to become principal architect of HABS before\nbecoming deputy chief of the division in 1990. He was editor-in-\nchief for Recording Historic Structures and authored the pages on\nHABS documentation in Architectural Graphic Standards. Recently,\nhe has specialized in computer applications in architecture and\nphotogrammetry, successfully implementing the HABS/HAER\nCAD/photogrammetry laboratory. He is an active member of the\nAmerican Institute of Architects, the Society of Architectural\nHistorians, the Society for Industrial Archeology, and the\nAssociation for Preservation Technology. He has taught\npreservation courses at Marymount University and at Mount Vernon\nCollege.\niii\nEric N. DeLony, HAER Chief. A twenty-one-year veteran of\nHAER (and HAER's first professional employee), he first became\ninterested in industrial archeology as a Fulbright Scholar at the\nCenter for the Study of the History of Technology, Bath University,\nand Ironbridge. Well known for his interest in historic bridges, his\nfirst book on that subject will be published in spring 1993, by the\nAmerican Society of Civil Engineers. A graduate of Ohio State\nUniversity in architecture, DeLony is a product of Columbia\nUniversity's historic preservation program. He is a long-time and\nactive member of the Society for Industrial Archeology. DeLony is\ntrustee and vice chairman of the James Marston Fitch Charitable\nTrust, a program established by the originator and first director of\nColumbia University's program in historic preservation, and Beyer\nBlinder Belle, architects. Recently, he was appointed to the Board\nof Architectural Review, Old and Historic District, Alexandria,\nVirginia.\nPaul D. Dolinsky, HABS Chief. A fourteen-year employee of\nHABS, he has directed hundreds of HABS projects at some of the\nnation's most prestigious sites--the White House, Monticello,\nhistoric Charleston, and numerous others. He also provided the\nleadership for the very successful HABS initiative in landscape\narchitecture. A graduate of Penn State University in architecture\nand landscape architecture, he has led the way in implementing the\nCAD-photogrammetry approach to measured drawings, currently\nbeing used to document Washington, D.C.'s Lincoln and Jefferson\nmemorials. He is an active member of the American Society of\nLandscape Architects and a liaison member of the AIA Committee\non Historic Resources.\niv.\nTable of Contents\nPage\nHABS/HAER At a Glimpse\n1\nFacts and Statistics\n2\nHonors and Awards\n6\nActivities\n17\nPeople\n43\nHABS/HAER in Print and Film\n47\n1991 Recording Projects\nHABS/HAER Programs\n61\nHABS Projects\n90\nHAER Projects\n102\nMitigative Documentation Program\n118\n1993 Calendar of Events\n119\nHABS/HAER Staff Roster\nInside back cover\nAPPENDIX I - HABS/HAER 1991 Transmittals\n120\nAPPENDIX II - Hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment of the Committee\non Interior and Insular Affairs\n135\nOM\nHABS Architect Mark Schara and HAER photographer Jet Lowe are captured in a photogrammetric image taken by the Linhof\nMetrika camera at the cornice level of the Lincoln Memorial.

The resulting drawing can be seen on page 77.\nHABS/HAER AT A GLIMPSE\nHow to Use the HABS/HAER Collections\nThe HABS/HAER collections contain documentation (measured drawings, large format photographs and histories)\non approximately 28,000 historic structures and buildings throughout America. Not all structures and buildings are\nrepresented by all three types of documentation. All HABS/HAER documentation is reproducible, copyright free,\nand available to the public. With the exception of current projects, all HABS/HAER documentation is housed in\nthe Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress (Room 339, James Madison Building, First and\nIndependence Avenue, SE, Washington, D.C. 20540). The best way to use the HABS/HAER collections is to visit\nthe Prints and Photographs Division during normal working hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00\np.m.). Some recently received material may not be available for review as yet; it is advisable to contact the\nReference Desk at 202-707-6394 to be certain documentation has been processed. No appointment is necessary to\nreview processed HABS/HAER material. For out-of-town users, the HABS/HAER collections have been made\ncommercially available by the firm of Chadwyck-Healey in microfiche and are available in numerous libraries\nthroughout the United States. There are numerous catalogs, finding guides and other publications available to the\nHABS/HAER user. A list of these can be obtained from the Prints and Photographs Division.\n\"Review of 'The Historic American Buildings Survey: California and Washington, Parts One and Two':\n\"The Historic American Buildings Survey, on microfiche, is the most comprehensive record of American architecture\navailable. Parts One and Two are the complete collection of photographs, texts, and measured drawings for the most\narchitecturally significant structures found in each state. Combined with the Oregon segment, already owned by the\nlibrary, these materials constitute a major resource of primary documentation for research in architecture, historic\npreservation, art history, and history of the western United States.\"\n-- Library Notes, Vol. 8, No. 3, Spring 1992\nHow to Work for HABS/HAER\nHABS/HAER hires approximately 100-150 student architects and historians each year, most through its summer\nemployment program. Interested individuals need to submit a U.S. Government Standard Form 171, Application\nfor Federal Employment, a sample of their work, and letters of recommendation from a dean or someone familiar\nwith their work to the Summer Program Administrator, HABS/HAER, National Park Service, P.O. Box 37127,\nWashington, D.C. 20013-7127. Competition for these positions is tough on the average--one out of every eight\napplicants is selected--so individuals are encouraged to submit their best work. Applications must be postmarked\nby the cutoff date, usually the beginning of March. HABS/HAER also hires a few temporary and term positions,\nand these are advertised through normal NPS procedures. Like the rest of the historic preservation field, permanent\npositions are not readily available and are usually filled by individuals with HABS/HAER experience.\nHow to Start a HABS/HAER Project\nAll proposed HABS/HAER projects must typically meet two criteria: (1) the structure or building proposed for\ndocumentation must be nationally significant or a primary unit of the National Park Service, and (2) the project\nsponsor must be willing to assume 100 percent of the direct costs of the project. HABS/HAER projects are usually\ninitiated by contacting the chief of HABS/HAER, Robert J. Kapsch; the chief of HABS, Paul Dolinsky; or the chief\nof HAER, Eric DeLony. We also encourage donations of documentation that meet HABS/HAER standards.\n1\nFACTS AND STATISTICS\nFunding\nFY 1992\nCompared to\nCategory\nFunding\n1991\n1990\nBase Funding (Appropriations)\n$ 945,000\n+ 2.8%\n-2.7%\nAdd-On Appropriations\n444,000\n-11.7%\n-5.9%\nProject Funding (Public/Private)\n1,533,000\n+ 9.4%\n+80.7%\nTotal HABS/HAER Funding\n$2,922,000\n+ 3.5%\n+30%\nThe overall funding for HABS/HAER in FY 1992 demonstrated a 3.5 percent increase over FY 1991 levels. Base\nfunding (appropriations) showed a modest increase. For the last twelve years base funding of HABS/HAER, like\nmost Federal organizations, has remained relatively flat, expressing Congress's concern for the Federal deficit.\nHABS/HAER congressional add-ons for specific projects decreased 11.7 percent, reflecting the 1990 Andrews Air\nForce Base Officers' Club agreement between the administration and Congress to pursue progressively lower yearly\nfunding targets to balance the Federal budget -- made increasingly difficult by the subsequent recession. Other\npublic and private funding for HABS/HAER increased 9.4 percent--a healthy increase but nowhere near the 75\npercent increase experienced in FY 1991. This category now comprises two-thirds of the division's annual budget.\nThe outlook for FY 1993 is for HABS/HAER funding to be at or below the funding levels of FY 1992. Base\nfunding is expected to remain essentially the same, perhaps adjusted upwards for pay raises. Add-on appropriations\nare expected to continue to decline, reflecting the targets established in the Andrews Accords. Public-private project\nfunding is more difficult to predict, however. FY 1993 may be the first year, after twelve years of continuing\nexpansion, where HABS/HAER's budget will contract--perhaps significantly.\n3\n2.5\n2\n1.5\n1\n0.5\n0\n1987\n1988\n1989\n1990\n1991\n1992\nFiscal Year\nbase funding\nproject funding\ntotal\n2\nFACTS AND STATISTICS\nHABS/HAER In Legislation\nThe Department of the Interior Appropriations Bill for fiscal year 1992 included the following additional line\nitems for HABS/HAER:\n*\n$197,000 for continuation of HAER work in support of America's Industrial Heritage Project\n(AIHP). Under the leadership of HAER Engineer/Historian G.

HAER's early work on steel and iron\nmanufacturing in Birmingham led to National Historic Landmark designation and successful\npreservation of the Sloss Furnace in 1981. HAER Chief Eric N. DeLony is the program\nmanager.\nMr Bourn\nLeft-right, Ford Peatross, curator of architectural design and engineering collection, Library of Congress; John E.\nDurrant, district director, district four, American Society of Civil Engineerings; Rowland Bowers, deputy associate\ndirector for cultural resources, National Park Service; and Susan Maxman, first vice president, the American\nInstitute of Architects, testify on behalf of HABS/HAER at the oversight hearings before the Subcommittee on Energy\nand the Environment, Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, House of Representatives, held in Philadelphia, PA,\non May 11. See page 18 and Appendix Il for more information on hearings.\n3\nFACTS AND STATISTICS\nHABS/HAER Collections\nIn 1992, the HABS/HAER collections passed the 28,000 mark for number of historic sites and structures\ndocumented. HABS/HAER transmitted documentation on 1,031 historic sites and structures to the Prints and\nPhotographs Division of the Library of Congress. The HABS/HAER collections are primarily known for their\ndrawings, photographs and histories, but these collections also include field notes, photogrammetric plates and\nother forms of documentation useful to HABS/HAER users. Collection management is under the supervision\nof Georgette R. Wilson. The size of the collections, as of October 1, 1992, were:\nHABS\nHAER\nTotal\nNo. of historic structures\n-\n24,417\n3,600\n28,017\nNo. of sheets of drawings\n-\n46,759\n2,084\n48,843\nNo. of large format photographs\n-\n112,571\n35,471\n147,992\nNo. of data pages\n-\n60,357\n28,027\n88,384\nUse of the Collections\nThe HABS/HAER collections at the Library of Congress are the most widely used of all of its special\ncollections. According to an informal study done a number of years ago, authors, publishers, and doctoral\ncandidates represented about 40 percent of the users. Another 40 percent were composed of architects,\nengineers, historians, planners and others who were going to undertake work on a specific site or structure\nrecorded by HABS/HAER. The remaining users were model builders, house builders, and others.\nStudents\nHABS/HAER has employed more than 2,500 architects, historians and photographers over the years,\napproximately one-quarter of whom were employed in the last decade (about 100 of whom were from other\ncountries). Most were students, usually undertaking their first professional work experience. In fiscal year\n1992, HABS/HAER employed 110 students, nineteen of which were from other countries (see page 15).\nStudent employment with HABS/HAER is very competitive. During this fiscal year, for example, only one\narchitectural student was selected for every eight who applied; for historians, one in ten.\nProjects\nFiscal 1992 was a record-high year for HABS/HAER recording, continuing a trend established almost ten\nyears ago. HABS/HAER projects are selected on the basis of two criteria: (1) the resource proposed for\ndocumentation must be nationally significant and useful in explaining, understanding and explicating America's\narchitectural and engineering heritage, and (2) the cosponsor provides 100 percent of the project's direct costs.\nHABS/HAER projects are normally initiated through direct contact with the chiefs of HABS/HAER. A\nmemorandum of agreement is entered into, covering the scope of the project.\n4\nHONORS AND AWARDS\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nDecember 4, 1992\nI am delighted to send greetings to all those who\nare gathered in Washington, D.C. as the Advisory\nCouncil on Historic Preservation presents the\nNational Historic Preservation Awards and the\nPresident's Historic Preservation Awards.\nAmerica's historic buildings, grounds, and\nmonuments embody our national identity, and we\nowe a special tribute to those who help to\npreserve them. The men and women who are being\nhonored on this occasion, and all who participate\nin this vital work, serve as guardians of our\nheritage -- of the events, ideals, and individuals\nthat have shaped our collective history. In\nsafeguarding this history they perform another\ncrucial service as well: they help to unify our\npeople by recalling our common link to a rich and\ndistinguished past.\nThis year, as we commemorate both the National\nHistoric Preservation Act of 1966 and the 200th\nanniversary of the White House, I am especially\npleased to salute those individuals who are\ncommitted to protecting the architectural symbols\nand cultural resources of our Nation and her\npeople.\nBarbara joins me in sending best wishes for an\nenjoyable awards ceremony.\nPresidential letter to winners of the President's Historic Preservation Award, of which HAER was a recipient. See\narticle on page 16.\n5\nHONORS AND AWARDS\n1992 Peterson Prize winners at the\nawards ceremony are (left to right),\nKevin Milstead (University of Texas at\nAustin), Marc Roehrle (University of\nVirginia), Brian Ambroziak (University\nof Virginia), Mira Metzinger (University\nof Illinois), William Meredith\n(University of Illinois), Michelle\nBrancaeleone (University of Illinois),\nand Timothy Sheridan (University of\nIllinois).\nPhotographer: Christopher Gribbs,\n1993\n1992 Peterson Prize Winners\nThe Historic American Buildings Survey and The Athenaeum of Philadelphia announced the winners of the\n1992 Charles E. Peterson Prize at the November meeting of the American Institute of Architects' Committee\non Historic Resources in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Peterson Prize is an annual award for the best sets\nof architectural measured drawings of an historic building produced by students and given to the Historic\nAmerican Buildings Survey. The prize honors Charles E. Peterson, FAIA, founder of the HABS program,\nand is intended to increase awareness and knowledge of historic buildings throughout the United States. The\ndrawings are deposited in the HABS Collection in the Library of Congress.\nFirst Place and a $1,500 award was won by a team of fourteen students: Michelle Brancaleone, Gary Cole,\nChristopher Colson, Michael Coonen, Bryan Fish, Lisa Jaracz, Sheila McCarthy, William Meridith, Mira\nMetzinger, Elizabeth Rutherford, Timothy Sheridan, Gerald Sullivan, Steven Turner, and John Yopp from\nthe School of Architecture at the University of Illinois. They produced drawings of the Macoupin County\nCourthouse in Carlinville, Illinois. The Macoupin County Courthouse was designed in 1867 by architect\nElijah Meyers, who later would design the Michigan, Colorado, and Texas state capitols. Capped by a\nmonumental dome nearly 40' in diameter, this Renaissance Revival courthouse is the dominant architectural\nfeature in the small town of Carlinville. Faculty sponsor for the team was Professor John S. Garner.\nThe $1,000 award for Second Place was won by seventeen students from the School of Architecture at the\nUniversity of Texas at Austin and the College of Architecture at the University of Houston: Melissa Barnett,\nCarolyn Campbell, Quana Childs, Hugo Gardea, Linda Glaze, Diane Gray, Monica Griesbach, Dana Hutt,\nBarre Klapper, Theiu Luong, Kent Millard, Kevin Milstead, Laura Ostlind, David Payne, Matthew Rodda,\nMyoe Than, and Tara Travis. Faculty sponsors were Professors Wayne Bell, FAIA, and Barry Moore, AIA.\nThe students produced drawings of the Neuhaus Complex, which includes three buildings built by a German\nimmigrant family: a two-story fachwerk homestead, a stone general store, and a Greek Revival wood frame\nhouse. The Neuhaus Complex illustrates the contribution of one German immigrant family to the settlement\nof Hackberry in Lavaca County, Texas.\n6\nHONORS AND AWARDS\nThe $750 award for Third Place was given to Brian M. Ambroziak, Salvatore J. Canciello, and Marc A.\nRoehrle of the University of Virginia's School of Architecture. The students produced measured drawings\nof Barclay House, the brick Federal-style home of Dr. James Turner Barclay. In 1850, Dr. Barclay founded\nthe Disciples Church in Scottsville, Virginia. The Barclay House is listed in the National Register of Historic\nPlaces. The faculty sponsor for this documentation project was Professor K. Edward Lay.\nIn addition to the top prizes, the jury awarded three other entries Honorable Mention in the competition. They\nwere:\nSchool:\nUniversity of Southwestern Louisiana\nStudents:\nSteven Becnel, John Campbell, Mark Connor, Britt Herring, Wang Qian,\nChee Siew, and Steve Wright\nFaculty Sponsor:\nProfessor Dan P.

Peterson Prize is a joint program of HABS, The Atheneum of Philadelphia and the American\nInstitute of Architects. Each year, the jury selecting the Charles E. Peterson Prize winners is composed of\nrepresentatives from these organizations. The 1992 jurors were Bruce Laverty from The Athenaeum of\nPhiladelphia; Donald Swofford, AIA, representing the AIA's Committee on Historic Resources; and Herbert\nLevy, FAIA, a Philadelphia architect representing HABS.\nIt was an excellent year for the Peterson Prize competition. There were a total of twenty entries from fifteen\nuniversities. Sixteen of the entries are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The 156 students who\nparticipated produced 251 measured drawings for inclusion in the HABS collection.\nThe monies for these prizes come from a special fund administered by Roger Moss, executive director, The\nAthenaeum of Philadelphia, initially established in 1983 through donations made by Friends of Charles E.\nPeterson, to honor his 75th birthday in 1981, and the cash award accompanying the 1983 National Trust for\nHistoric Preservation Crowninshield Award made to HABS.\nThe Charles E.

Sanford of the University of Oregon was this year's winner of the Sally Kress Tompkins Fellowship,\ncosponsored by the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) and HABS/HAER. The Sally Kress Tompkins\nFellowship, established in memory of the former deputy chief of HABS/HAER, permits an architectural\nhistorian to work on a HABS summer team. A SAH-HABS jury was composed of curator Ford Peatross from\nthe Library of Congress, Judith Lanius from the Society of Architectural Historians, and senior historian Kim\nHoagland from HABS/HAER. They selected Dena Sanford based on her thesis, which analyzed Finnish\nhomesteads in Montana. Sanford worked on the HABS team in Natchez, Mississippi, documenting the\nantebellum house of a free black man, William Johnson. Sanford was presented with the fellowship award\nby HABS/HAER Deputy Chief John A. Burns, AIA, at the business meeting of the Society of Architectural\nHistorians' annual meeting, April 1-5, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Funds for this fellowship are\nadministered by David Bahlman, executive director, Society of Architectural Historians.\nThose wishing to contribute to the Sally Kress Tompkins Fund may do so by sending their checks to the Sally\nKress Tompkins Fund, c/o David Bahlman, Executive Director, Society of Architectural Historians, 1232 Pine\nStreet, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107-5944.

What resulted was the Council of American Maritime\nMuseums (CAMM)/HAER Sally Kress Tompkins Maritime Internship. Half of the funding is contributed by\nCAMM and half by HAER. The fund is administered by Peter Neill, South Street Seaport Museum, on behalf\nof CAMM.\nThe first CAMM/HAER Sally Kress Tompkins Maritime Intern, selected in 1992, was Karl Bodensiek of\nRoger Williams College in Bristol, Rhode Island. Karl worked as a member of the HAER team that prepared\ndrawings of the bow of the Clipper ship SNOW SQUALL, at the Spring Point Museum at South Portland,\nMaine. The drawings, which are archeological in character because the only remains are sections of the bow,\nwill aid in understanding clipper ship design and construction, and will be used by the museum to curate and\ninterpret the SNOW SQUALL bow as an exhibit.\nKenneth L. Anderson Award\nKenneth L. Anderson, Jr., former chief of the HABS, passed away on September 18, 1991. In his\nmemory, HABS, in cooperation with the Department of Architecture at Texas Tech University, his alma\nmater, has established the Kenneth L. Anderson Memorial Fund. The fund will provide a monetary gift\nto a student who produces the finest set of measured drawings to HABS standards of a Texas structure,\ndonated for inclusion in the HABS collection in the Library of Congress. The competition is open to all\nstudents from the five accredited schools of architecture in Texas.\nFor further information, and for those wishing to make a donation, contact: Professor John White,\nDepartment of Architecture, P.O. Box 4140, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas 79409.\nHAER/SIA Fellowship Awarded\nThe recipient of the HAER/Society for Industrial Archeology (SIA) fellowship was Susan Appel of Illinois\nState University for research, travel, writing time, and supplementary materials in preparation of a publication\non the architectural history of the pre-Prohibition brewery. Her work centers on the cities of Chicago,\nMilwaukee, Cincinnati, and St. Louis, and thus document the Midwest's contribution to this significant\nAmerican building type. The award was made at the annual meeting of the SIA in Buffalo by SIA President\nDavid Salay.\n12\nAXONOMETRIC\nHONORS AND AWARDS\n13\nClipper Ship SNOW SQUALL Bow. Delineator: Karl N.

Rose\nHAER Historians Awarded Doctorates\nDean Herrin, HAER staff historian, received his doctorate in American history from the University of\nDelaware in January 1992. He was a fellow in the Hagley Program in the History of Industrial America, a\nprogram jointly sponsored by the Hagley Museum and the University of Delaware's History Department. His\ndissertation was titled \"Breaking the Stillness': The Coal Industry and the Transformation of Appalachian\nVirginia, 1880 - 1920.\" Herrin is currently the supervisory historian on the Mon Valley program, Wright-\nPatterson Air Force Base, and other projects.\nKenneth D. Rose received his master's degree from the University of Washington in 1985 and, in 1986, was\nadmitted into the doctoral program in history at the University of California, Los Angeles. He completed his\ndoctorate in fall 1992, while working for HAER. Rose's duties have centered on the production and\npublication of industrial inventories of the nine-county region of the America's Industrial Heritage Project in\nsouthwest Pennsylvania. He is currently revising his dissertation, \"American Women and the Repeal of\nProhibition,\" for publication.\n14\nHONORS AND AWARDS\nUS/ICOMOS and HABS/HAER\nIn 1992, the HABS/HAER/ICOMOS intern program was once again in full swing. This year, nineteen\nstudents from fifteen countries made major contributions to this summer's documentation program. The\nexchange program, established by HABS/HAER and US/ICOMOS in 1984, is under the overall direction of\nTerry B. Morton, president, US/ICOMOS, and Russell V. Keune, vice president for programs, US/ICOMOS.\nEllen Delage, program officer, US/ICOMOS, administers the intern program, which locates qualified\napplicants through the various ICOMOS committees in the participating countries. The program is\nadministered at HABS/HAER by Deputy Chief John Burns. Since the program's inception in 1984,\nHABS/HAER has sponsored 108 interns from eighteen countries -- HABS/HAER remaining, by far, the\nlargest sponsor of ICOMOS interns. Once they have applied, the applicants are evaluated by the same criteria\nas their American counterparts and must possess equivalent skills in their chosen disciplines. They are also\npaid a stipend equivalent to that of their American coworkers. HABS/HAER transferred approximately\n$79,000 to US/ICOMOS in fiscal year 1992 to support the stipends paid to these interns.\n1992 US/ICOMOS-HABS/HAER Summer Interns\nArgentina\nHungary\nDaniella Trettel, National University of Cordoba\nAtilla Kovacs, Technical University of Budapest\nAustria\nItaly\nAlbert Aflenzer, Technical University of Vienna\nElena Garlini, Graduate School of Architecture,\nVenice; Columbia University\nBulgaria\nOrlin K.

Deemed exceptional by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation,\npresenter of the award under the auspices of the White House, the HAER project was recognized for\nidentifying the importance of the prefabricated metal truss bridge as one of the nation's greatest engineering\nand manufacturing achievements, and compiling a visual record of it before federal and state bridge-\nreplacement programs destroyed them.\nBridges became the first category of historic resources to be comprehensively inventoried by HAER and listed\nin the National Register of Historic Places. As the result of the HAER project and increased public awareness\nof the bridges' importance, their replacement has substantially decreased.\nEric DeLony, chief of HAER and an expert on historic U.S. bridges, accepted the award at a December 1992\nceremony in Washington, D.C., in the Cash Room in the U.S. Treasury Building. DeLony has compiled the\nvolume Landmark American Bridges, to be published by the American Society of Civil Engineers later this\nyear.\n\" You are doing important work, and we are privileged to view it first-hand. ASCE is proud of our\nassociation with HAER, and I am particularly pleased that we have several joint projects in the works.\"\n- James E. McCarty, P.E., President, American Society of Civil Engineers in a\nNovember 17, 1992, letter to HABS/HAER Chief Robert Kapsch\n\"Held in Common,\" HABS/HAER Exhibition Receives Recognition\n\"Held in Common: Historic Architecture in America's National Parks,\" another current exhibition\nat the [National Building Museum], honors the National Park Service on its 75th anniversary.\nThe show is a photo-and-text narrative that succinctly proves its point: Buildings in astonishing\nvariety and number (more than 20,000 of them) make up an important aspect of the Park Service\nmission, which is usually thought of exclusively in terms of preserving the natural environment. It\nis a delightful, absorbing, compact story. One begins at the beginning, with the archaeological\nremains of ancient Anasazi religious structures--kivas--in the Frijoles Canyon of Bandelier National\nMonument in New Mexico, and arrives in our own time with the Victorian mansions and shotgun\nhouses of the Martin Luther King National Historic Site in the Sweet Auburn section of Atlanta. In\nbetween are stops at Skagway, Alaska, site of the Klondike gold rush; the Lowell, Mass., cotton\nmills; the fabulous Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone; and other terrific sites.\n-- Benjamin Forgey, The Washington Post,\nDecember 14, 1991.\nThe exhibition was on display at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., December 6, 1991, to\nFebruary 2, 1992. Developed by HABS/HAER historian Caroline R. Bedinger, the exhibition is currently traveling\nto other locations by way of the Harper's Ferry Travelling Exhibit Program.\n16\nACTIVITIES\nHISTORIC AMERICAN\nSURVEY\nHISTORIC AMERICAN\nENGINEERING RECORD\nDr Washington Dost\n-\nAbove, HABS/HAER collections management specialist Georgette Wilson and collections management assistant\nMonica Paprocki set up exhibit at the National Archives, commemorating the transfer of HABS/HAER records to the\narchives.

Photographer: Amy Young, 1992.\n17\nACTIVITIES\nCongressional Hearings\nOn May 11, 1992, an oversight hearing was held before the subcommittee on Energy and the Environment\nof the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs at the First Bank of the United States in Philadelphia on the\nHistoric American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record (HABS/HAER), Chairman Peter\nH. Kostmayer presiding.\nThis was the first congressional oversight hearing held on HABS/HAER. In his opening statement, Kostmayer\nstated that the reason for the hearing was to review \"the ability of HABS and HAER to respond to new\nprojects\" in light of \"infrequent and small appropriation increases over the past years,\" and to review the\n\"advisory boards for HABS and HAER [that] were sunsetted in the 1970s,\" and \"the need to reestablish these\nnoncompensated advisory boards.\"\nOral testimony was presented by Susan Maxman, first vice president of the American Institute of Architects;\nRowland Bowers, deputy director, Cultural Resources, National Park Service, accompanied by Robert Kapsch,\nchief of HABS/HAER; John Burns, AIA, deputy chief of HABS/HAER; and Paul Dolinsky, chief of HABS;\nJohn E. Durrant, district director, District Four, American Society of Civil Engineers, accompanied by\nEdward Kuchefski, director of the Fairmont Water Works Interpretative Center, Philadelphia Water\nDepartment; and Ford Peatross, curator of Architectural and Engineering Collections, Library of Congress.\nAdditional testimony was provided by David Bahlman, executive director, Society of Architectural Historians;\nand Jeff Marshall, director of historic preservation, Bucks County Conservancy. Additional written testimony\nwas provided by Congressman Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii; and James P. Cramer, executive vice\npresident/CEO, American Institute of Architects, among others.\nA congressional hearing on a program as small as HABS/HAER (with a budget of less than $1 million a year)\nis extraordinary. Congressional hearings usually focus on much larger subjects. The single most prevalent\nissue throughout the hearing was the need to reestablish the HABS/HAER advisory committees. The second\nmost important issue was the need to increase the funding level of the HABS/HAER appropriation.\nThe proceedings of this hearing were published by the U.S. Government Printing Office and are for sale by\nthe Superintendent of Documents, Congressional Sales Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 (ISBN 0-16-039245-\n4). For the convenience of our readers, this material has been reproduced as Appendix II.\n\"Because of their holistic approach and extraordinary vision, these programs have brought about an increased awareness of\npreservation needs and preservation technology. In the initial memorandum from Charles Peterson, architect with the National\nPark Service, to his superiors, he stated that such a survey, 'should be a list of building sites which include public buildings,\nchurches, residences, bridges, forts, barns, mills, shops, rural outbuildings, and any other kind of structure of which there are\ngood specimens extant and those structures which by fate or accident are identified with historic events.'\"\n\"Due to the infrequent and small appropriation increases over the past few years and the increasing costs of carrying out its\nmission, the ability of HABS and HAER to respond to new projects is now in serious jeopardy.\"\n--Hon. Peter H. Kostmayer (PA), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment\n18\nACTIVITIES\nHABS/HAER Activities at Library of Congress\nA six-month project that expands access to HABS/HAER's data base for the staff at the Library of Congress'\nPrints and Photographs Division was initiated in August 1992. The project, developed and implemented by\nCollections Management Specialist Georgette R. Wilson, will facilitate the processing of HABS/HAER\ndrawings, photographs, and histories transmitted to the Prints and Photographs Division. The increased\napplication of HABS/HAER's data base will benefit researchers and the interested public by providing library\nstaff with the ability to conduct data-base searches, print updated reports, and implement time-saving steps\nfor processing materials. After six months, the project will be reviewed and evaluated, and final procedures\nwill be instituted.\nIn FY 1992, the collections management section increased transmittals to the Prints and Photographs Division\nby 51 percent over FY 1991 numbers. This extensive documentation was reviewed, edited and collated by\nKathryn Jackson, HABS/HAER administrative assistant.\nThis past year, the Prints and Photographs Division increased its staff, so that it is now possible for the\ncollection to become available to researchers more quickly. HABS/HAER benefitted from this through the\nassignment of processing assistants Megan Keister and Greg Marcangelo to maintain the HABS/HAER\ncollections, with temporary part-time help from Vickie Crawley, Kurt Helfrich, and Alberta Prosser. Under\nthe supervision of Helena Zinkham, head of the processing section, and in consultation with C. Ford Peatross\nand Cristina Carbone, curators of the Architecture, Design, and Engineering (ADE) Collections, and Marilyn\nIbach, reference specialist in architecture, this team processed eleven states and accessioned four batches of\nHABS/HAER transmittals consisting of photographs, drawings, histories, and field notes on more than 100\nstructures. Chadwyck-Healey continued to copy the material onto microfiche for distribution.\nOn July 8, HABS/HAER conducted a tour of the HABS Harpers Ferry summer team and the CAD\nphotogrammetry laboratory to familiarize the library staff with manual and automated recording technologies.\nThose attending were Cristina Carbone, curator, Curatorial Division; Karen Chittenden, cataloger, Processing\nSection; Vicki Crawley, processing assistant, Processing Section; Kurt Halfich, summer intern; Tracy\nMeeleib, processing assistant, Processing Section; Anne Mitchell, processing assistant, Processing Section;\nDiane Tepfer, research assistant, Curatorial Division; Megan Keister, and Greg Marcangelo. They were\naccompanied by Robert Kapsch and Caroline R. Bedinger of HABS/HAER.\nThe Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, under the leadership of Chief Stephen Ostrow, and\nAssistant Chief Elisabeth Parker, has made immense advances in staffing and in processing record numbers\nof HABS/HAER documentation being sent to the library. It hasn't been too many years since Mary Ison and\nC. Ford Peatross were the sole Prints and Photographs staff responsible for HABS/HAER records. The\nincrease in staffing should eliminate the backlog of transmittals dating from the 1980s.\n19\nACTIVITIES\nHAER and SHOT Establish a Cooperative Agreement for Fellowship Program\nHAER and the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) established a cooperative agreement in 1992.\nThe principal purpose of this agreement is to forge a closer working relationship with SHOT, an international\norganization composed of leading scholars in technological history. Specifically, HAER and SHOT will\ninitiate a history fellowship program which will provide funds for historical studies concerned with material\nculture. A HAER/SHOT committee will be established to evaluate proposals from graduate and post-graduate\nstudents for funding consideration. The committee will encourage studies that encompass not merely\ndescriptive material on specific industrial sites or technologies but that analyze and link such material to\nbroader contextual issues of technology and society. Based either in the HAER Washington, D.C., office or\nthe field, each fellow will receive $2,500 per month, with funding available from one to eight months. A call\nfor proposals will be issued through SHOT and selections will be made in FY 1993. The HAER staff\ninvolved in the HAER/SHOT agreement includes historians Gray Fitzsimons and Dean Herrin, and Chief Eric\nDeLony, as well as Chief Robert Kapsch. SHOT members Martin Reuss, Carroll Pursell, and Jeffrey Stein\ngreatly assisted in establishing this program. All look forward to many years of fruitful work on a variety\nof history projects. Individuals interested in this program should write to Eric DeLony, Chief, Historic\nAmerican Engineering Record, National Park Service, P.O. Box 37127, Washington, D.C. 20013-7127.\nCAD/Photogrammetry Lab Update\nOver the past two years, HABS/HAER has built a capability for both photogrammetry and computer-aided\ndrafting, or CAD. The HABS/HAER CAD/Photogrammetry Laboratory started with five computer work\nstations linked in a network, with a high-resolution digitizing table and photogrammetric software loaded on\none of the stations. Four of the work stations are Hewlett-Packard Vectra 486/25T computers, while the fifth\nis a 486/33T. All have 8MB RAM, 80MB hard drives, 1.2MB 5.25\" floppy drives, and 20\" high resolution\nmonitors. The file server is a Compaq Deskpro 386/20 with a 300MB hard drive. A 300MB tape backup\nand an uninterruptible power supply help to protect the system. The operating language is MS-DOS 5.0, the\nnetwork software is Novell Netware, Version 2.2, and the CAD program is AutoCAD, Release 11, all\nNational Park Service standards. A Versatec \"B\" size (11\" X 17\") laser plotter is used for small plots, while\nthe final, archival plots of the measured drawings are made on a laser plotter by a reprographics service.\nWith the exception of the photogrammetric cameras and digitizing software, all the hardware and software\nare readily available, off-the-shelf products.\nThe photogrammetric camera system consists of two Linhof Metrika 45 cameras, one with a 90mm lens and\nthe other with a 150mm lens. The Metrikas are semi-metric cameras that produce negatives meeting\nHABS/HAER standards (they produce 4\" X 5\" negatives on 5\" roll film). The 90mm lens is considered a\nwide angle, the 150mm a normal focal length. Both lenses have click stops on their focusing rings, so they\ncan be locked at known focal distances. A glass plate with a reseau grid (a pattern of cross hairs) is held\nagainst the film by a vacuum at the moment of exposure so that the grid is superimposed on the negative.\nThe optical characteristics of the lenses and reseau grids are measured and plotted so that the optical\ndistortions in the camera do not compromise the accuracy of measurements taken from the photographs. This\ncamera calibration data is part of the survey control. They were the first cameras of their type sold in the\nUnited States. The photogrammetric software is Desktop Photogrammetry's Photocad-Multi for three-\ndimensional measurements and Photocad-Single for two-dimensional (planar) measurements. Both programs\noperate from a pull-down menu within AutoCAD and the resulting drawings are AutoCAD files. The software\nuses mathematical algorithms to locate the known points in three-dimensional space. Once the three-\n20\nACTIVITIES\ndimensional model is established and verified, other points can be digitized and measured from the\nphotographs and a CAD drawing produced.\nFor three-dimensional use, a structure is photographed from a minimum of three camera stations, usually from\nleft-of-center, center, and right-of-center. Targets are placed in the field of view as common reference points\namong the photographs. At least one known dimension must also be visible in common among the three\nviews, as well as a minimum of seven other common points. Dimensions are extracted by digitizing from\nenlargements of the photographs. Drawings are generated by connecting a series of points identified on the\nphotographs with lines. For curved elements, the closer the points are spaced, the higher the ultimate\nresolution and accuracy, and the smoother the curved lines of the drawing. An Altek AC30 Datab 24\" X 36\",\nhigh resolution (0.001\" resolution with +0.003\" absolute accuracy), continuously variable backlit digitizing\ntable, with a bullseye reticle pickup sensor and 5X magnifier, is used to digitize the enlargements. For two-\ndimensional use, only a single photograph is needed as long as you have known coordinates in real space for\nthe four points in the plane to be digitized. The two-dimensional program is ideal for extracting dimensions\nin a single plane and for low-relief surfaces because the drawing is generated by tracing outlines and edges\nin that plane rather than by connecting a series of points as in the three-dimensional program.\nWe have found that CAD/Photogrammetry drawings that include decorative features, such as the relief\ncarvings in the frieze of the Lincoln Memorial, require an enormous amount of memory because one is\nessentially plotting topographic lines by connecting a series of points with short lines. The ornament carving\nfor a single stone of the Lincoln Memorial frieze requires 2MB of memory, making the drawing file for the\nwhole elevation enormous, which slows down the CAD program. The result is that we are producing CAD\nfiles far larger than architects normally produce (i.e., orthographic drawings) and more like civil engineering\nCAD files that include topographic data. The problem is especially acute when drawing files increase beyond\n6MB in size. We are exploring software solutions such as freezing portions of the drawings, turning off\nlayers, etc. We are also increasing the RAM memory to 16MB in each work station.\nHowever, these improvements will provide only incremental increases in computational speed, so we are\npurchasing a Hewlett-Packard Apollo 900 Model 730 UNIX workstation with a 66MHz DPA-RISC processor,\n64MB RAM, 84 MB of disk space, and a 19\" color graphic display. Two Hewlett-Packard HP700/RX\nterminals with 19\" color monitors, and a Series 6400 Model 2000DC tape backup that uses Digital Audio\nTechnology (DAT) to store up to eight gigabytes of compressed data files, will complete the new UNIX\nsystem. The increase in computing power from an MS-DOS 486/33 to a UNIX machine is significant. We\nexpect that most CAD needs will continue to be met by our existing 486/25 and 486/33 computers with the\nadditional 16MB of RAM. The capabilities of the UNIX stations will be most apparent with the largest and\nmost complex drawing files requiring the most computational power. We will upgrade the DOS stations to\nAutoCAD 12 when we add the UNIX version of AutoCAD to the new work stations. We are also upgrading\nthe network to Novell Netware version 3.11 with a Novell NFS to link the UNIX system to our existing\nnetwork.\n21\nACTIVITIES\nWest Virginia University Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archaeology\nThe Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archaeology at West Virginia University is an\ninterdisciplinary professional and academic institute supporting public and private research, educational\nprograms and projects concerned with the history of technology, industrial archaeology, and the preservation\nof engineering works. Since its inception in 1989, the institute has been the recipient of annual federal\nappropriations administered through a cooperative agreement between the institute and HABS/HAER.\nAdditionally, the institute undertakes public and private contract research in a variety of areas. This year's\nfederal appropriation of $494,000 is currently supplemented by $314,106 in sponsored contract work.\nAn advisory committee involving leading agencies concerned with cultural resource management issues\napproves the institute's congressionally appropriated budget and work plan. Members of the committee are\nKatherine H. Stevenson, associate regional director, Mid-Atlantic Regional Office, NPS; Randy Cooley,\ndirector, Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission (formerly America's Industrial\nHeritage Project); Steven Lubar, curator, Division of Engineering and History, Museum of American History,\nSmithsonian Institution; Martin Reuss, senior historian, Office of History, Corps of Engineers; William M.\nDrennen, commissioner, Division of Culture and History, State of West Virginia; Brent D. Glass, executive\ndirector, Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission; David A. Simmons, Timeline, Ohio Historical\nQuarterly; Gerald E. Lang, dean, College of Arts and Sciences, West Virginia University; Ronald L. Lewis,\nchair, Department of History, West Virginia University; William W. Reeves, secretary, West Virginia\nUniversity Research Corporation; and Robert J. Kapsch, chief, HABS/HAER, NPS.\nProfessionally, the institute employs a cadre of historians, delineators, engineers, architects, drafting specialists\nand landscape specialists, several of whom are veterans of HABS/HAER summer teams. The work of the\nInstitute continues a long tradition of cooperation between West Virginia University and HABS/HAER, which\nbegan with Emory Kemp's involvement in 1972. Kemp, founder and director of the institute, has worked on\na number of HABS/HAER projects since that time. This tradition of cooperation continues to the present,\nexemplified in the fact that the institute had dedicated $114,651 to HABS/HAER documentation over the past\nthree years. Specifically, it sponsored 1990 documentation of nineteenth-century industry in Wheeling and\nFairmont, West Virginia, historic nineteenth-century cast and wrought-iron bridges in Pennsylvania in 1991,\nand a similar historic bridge project in Ohio in 1992.\nStudies in the history of technology are one area of emphasis for the institute. A monograph series in the\nhistory of technology is ongoing, and the first installment, The Alexandria Canal: Its History and\nPreservation, has just been published. Other important projects technology include a video production airing\non Public Broadcasting Service on covered bridges of the Virginias; a National Register of Historic Places\nnomination and landscape survey of Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park, and a historic furnishing\nreport for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway's depot at Thurmond, West Virginia.\nOne of the institute's major successes of 1992 involved the first-ever field school in the techniques of\nindustrial archeology. This six-week summer course, conducted in West Virginia's eastern panhandle, was\ntaken by nine students for graduate credit through the WVU Department of History. Under the auspices of\nEmory Kemp and Billy Joe Peyton (HAER Alumnus), institute staffers John Nicely, Lee Maddex\n[HABS/HAER alumnus], and Edward Winant instructed students in the preparation of work to HABS/HAER\nstandards. Components of the course included mapping and surveying, preparation of field sketches and\nmeasured drawings, large format archival photography, and researching local history. After one-and-a-half\nweeks in the field, each student prepared measured drawings and large format archival photographs of select\n22\nACTIVITIES\nremains of water-powered industry on Virginius Island in Harpers' Ferry National Historical Park and the\nhistoric Boteler/Shepherdstown Cement Mill in Shepherdstown. The experience proved intensive and\nchallenging, while it offered real-life experience in the world of historic-site recording and prepared\nparticipants for potential work in the field. Final results were excellent, and plans are being made for the next\nfield school, to be held in 1994.\nPerhaps the major accomplishment in the industrial archeology recording arena for 1992 is a book being\npublished by Krieger Publishing Company. Prepared by the Institute and field tested and critiqued by field\nschool students, it contains eleven essays prepared by leading professionals in the field on techniques of\nindustrial archeology. Student drawings from the class are also included as illustrative material. The book\nis intended to be suitable for use by professionals and amateurs alike.\nA pioneering project dealing with the preservation of engineering works is also underway at the Institute. This\nmulti-year project is being accomplished in cooperation with the Constructed Facilities Center at West Virginia\nUniversity's College of Engineering, and involves non-destructive testing of historic building materials.\nCurrent technology allows accurate testing of physical properties of building materials through destructive\ntesting only. For this reason, the institute is extremely interested in developing non-destructive techniques\nwhich can be portable in nature and used in the field. Miniaturized field-testing equipment is now under\ndevelopment which can be used to investigate and determine the physical properties of wood, cast and wrought\niron, steel, and masonry structures. Thus far, results on historic cast and wrought iron have proved\nencouraging and compare favorably with traditional destructive testing methods.\nInitial field tests on nineteenth-century wooden covered bridges in West Virginia have been completed. More\ntests are being considered on the Wheeling Suspension Bridge, a National Historic Landmark and the world's\nlongest suspension bridge when built, as well as the 1859 Wheeling Custom House, a structure that utilizes\nan all-ircn framing system. After further field testing, it is anticipated that the equipment will eventually be\nmarketed to the preservation community for use in a wide variety of structures.\nAs witnessed by its wide range of activities, the Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial\nArchaeology is now coming of age as a national center in the history of technology, industrial archeology,\nand the preservation of engineering works. As time passes, and the institute continues to grow and mature,\nand it is anticipated that the level of cooperation with HABS/HAER will reach new heights. As it does, the\nmutual benefits to each organization will increase accordingly.\n23\nACTIVITIES\nHistorically Black Colleges and Universities Initiative\nHABS/HAER transferred funds to the National Trust for Historic Preservation to further minority careers in\nthe field of historic preservation. The Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and Howard University in Washington,\nD.C., received funds to assist with the expenses relating to the development and implementation of HABS\nmeasured-drawings courses. Howard's program, under the instruction of Edward D. Dunson, AIA, associate\npofessor of achitecture, offered the course in the spring semester of 1992. Ten students are currently enrolled\nin the course. Tuskegee offered the course in summer of 1992, taught by HABS Alumna Kim Harden, AIA.\nHoward University Internship Program\nSince October 1991, HABS/HAER has offered two internships each year for minority students enrolled in the\narchitecture program at Howard University. Albert Debnam, Nichole Duren, Crystal Willingham, and\nSanford Garner have worked in the HABS/HAER offices, gaining practical experience in documentation skills.\nUnder the auspices of their cooperative agreement, HABS/HAER and Howard University are proud to offer\nthis opportunity to architecture students again in 1993.\nNational Archives Establishes Record Group for HABS/HAER Records\nAfter several months work, HABS/HAER has been assigned its own record group at the National Archives,\nand many administrative files have been deposited in it. July 1, 1992, Assistant Archivist Trudy Huskamp\nPeterson established Record Group 515, through the efforts of HABS/HAER Collections Management\nSpecialist Georgette Wilson. She and the division were greatly assisted by archivist Jerry Wallace of the\nNational Archives. Transfer of administrative files to the National Archives was organized by HABS historian\nMonica M. Paprocki. These materials included HABS and HAER publications, photographs of individuals\nassociated with the programs, posters, administrative records, copies of the database, awards and certificates,\nand other information pertinent to the history of the programs. In addition, twenty boxes of early HABS\nrecords stored in a government warehouse since the 1960s were released to the National Archives for inclusion\nin it. Although several people have undertaken histories of the HABS and/or HAER programs (e.g., Wilton\nCorkern's dissertation, \"Architects, Preservationists, and the New Deal: The Historic American Buildings\nSurvey, 1933-1942\" [George Washington University, 1984]; John Burns' \"Architects and the Historic\nAmerican Buildings Survey, 1933-1990\" [AIA, 1990], and Elise Vider's thesis, \"The Historic American\nBuildings Survey in Philadelphia, 1950-1966: Shaping Postwar Preservation\" [University of Pennsylvania,\n1991), these records have not largely been previously available to scholars interested in the history of the\nHABS and HAER programs. HABS/HAER currently has plans to expand Record Group 515 through\ndonations of missing materials. HABS and HAER measured drawings, large format photographs, and histories\nwill remain in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress.\nIn conjunction with the assigning of a record group number, an exhibit of photographs, copies of original\ndocuments, and drawings reflecting the establishment of the HABS and HAER programs was developed by\nGeorgette Wilson, Monica Paprocki and Caroline Bedinger. The exhibit was on display at the National\nArchives October 5-9, 1992. To commemorate this milestone, a ceremony and reception was held at the\nNational Archives on October 7, in which HABS founder Charles E. Peterson presented to Archivist of the\nUnited States Don W. Wilson his original hand-written memorandum establishing the program. In his\ncomments, Peterson stated that the memorandum was drafted on a Sunday afternoon on a government legal\npad. \"Maybe I shouldn't have taken that pad home, but I did,\" said Peterson. The draft memo had been\n24\nACTIVITIES\nstored in a safe in Philadelphia over the last several decades. Its transfer to the National Archives was\nfacilitated by Roger Moss, executive director, The Atheneum of Philadelphia. Also speaking were Jerry L.\nRogers, associate director for cultural resources, NPS; Kapsch, and Trudy Peterson.\nIt is extremely unusual for the National Archives to establish individual record groups for government\norganizational units less than bureau size--for the Department of the Interior, this would mean a single record\ngroup for the National Park Service, but not for components of the National Park Service. Establishment of\nRecord Group 515, therefore, honors the contributions of HABS/HAER over the years and it represents a very\nimportant step toward preserving the administrative records of HABS/HAER.\nOfficials in attendance at the National Archives ceremony were, left to right, Jerry L. Wallace, National Archives;\nRobert J. Kapsch, Chief of HABS/HAER; Jerry L. Rogers, Associate Director for Cultural Resources; Charles E.\nPeterson, FAIA, founder of HABS; Don W. Wilson, Archivist of the United States; and Trudy H. Peterson, Assistant\nArchivist, National Archives. Photographer: Amy Young, 1992\n25\nACTIVITIES\nNational Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) Identifies HABS/HAER Data Base for\nPreservation\nThe National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), under contract to the National Archives, reviewed\nmore than 9,000 existing federal electronic data bases to identify the most important ones to preserve in\nperpetuity. Of the 789 identified for preservation, the HABS/HAER database used to index 27,000 historic\nstructures documented by HABS/HAER over the last 60 years was one of those selected. Annually thereafter,\nHABS/HAER will transfer a tape containing an updated copy of that database to the National Archives to be\nincluded as part of Record Group 515, Records of the Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American\nEngineering Record. Should a cataclysmic collapse of the HABS/HAER database ever occur, the National\nArchives copies would be available to reconstruct a new operating system.\nEastern Office of Design and Construction's Photographs Added to the HABS/HAER Collection\nDuring 1992, the collections management section transmitted drawings, photographs, and histories on more\nthan 1,000 structures to the HABS/HAER collections in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library\nof Congress. Included in this transmittal are photographs from the Eastern Office of Design and\nConstruction's (EODC) photographic collection. EODC, a division within the National Park Service that once\nincluded the HABS program, restored or otherwise studied an enormous body of significant historic structures\nduring the period of 1952-66. For this reason, the Park Historic Architecture Division, NPS, (temporary\nrepository of the EODC photographs) and HABS/HAER entered into an agreement for the purpose of\nintegrating these important photographs into the HABS/HAER collection on June 1, 1992.\nThe EODC photographic transmittal project commenced. HABS/HAER summer historian Brian Cary worked\non this project under the supervision of Collections Management Specialist Georgette R. Wilson, in\ncooperation with other Washington staff. More than 7,000 images of structures, landscapes, artifacts, and\npersonnel from 155 of the National Park Service areas made up the collection. During the 12-week project,\n1,140 photographs and negatives of 118 structures were selected for inclusion in the HABS/HAER collection.\nThe transmittal packet for each structure consisted of a data entry sheet, master index card, cover sheet,\ncaption sheet, prints and negatives. Images were processed according to HABS/HAER specifications.\nThe EODC photographs were useful in expanding and enhancing the existing HABS/HAER collections. The\nentire EODC collection eventually will be housed at the Harpers Ferry Center in Virginia.\nRandall J. Biallas, Chief Park Historic Architect, was instrumental in establishing this arrangement, so as to\nget this important material into the publicly accessible HABS/HAER collections.\n26\nACTIVITIES\nHAER Mon Valley Office Burns\nThe HAER Homestead, Pennsylvania, field office narrowly averted disaster on April 10, 1992, when the\nbuilding next door was set on fire by an arsonist. The HAER office was heavily damaged by smoke and\nwater, but through the quick action of HAER supervisory historian Joel Sabadasz and HAER supervisory\narchitect Christopher Marston, both of whom carried records to safety, nothing valuable was lost.\nWith the help of the Steel Industry Heritage Corporation, cosponsor of the HAER project and whose offices\nsuffered even more damage, HAER was operating from a new location in Homestead within two weeks.\nFiremen extinguishes flames at HAER's\nfield office in Homestead.

These heritage corridors/areas use Federal funds to leverage other public funds and private moneys.\nThe oldest such program is Lowell National Historic Park, originated by former Senator Paul Tsongas.\nTsongas envisioned a public/private, Federal/state/local cooperative effort that would revitalize that historic\ntextile community. The concept has been embraced by the National Park Service. HABS/HAER Chief Robert\nKapsch served on a National Park Service task force that developed this idea as a major program of the NPS.\nThis proposal was presented to the National Park Service's 75th anniversary conference in Vail, Colorado,\nand was approved for further implementation.\nHABS/HAER's role in heritage corridors/heritage areas is to identify and document significant historic\nresources of those areas. Usually, HABS/HAER teams are the first Federal presence in a given heritage\ncorridor or area. Because most of these heritage corridors and areas emphasize industrial and engineering\nresources, HAER tends to be used extensively since it contains the bulk of the National Park Service's\nexpertise on historic industrial and engineering resources. The following is a current list of active heritage\ncorridors and areas and the Federal funding they were appropriated in 1992:\n* America's Industrial Heritage Area, Pennsylvania (AIHP) - $11,670,000\nIncluding the nine counties of southwestern Pennsylvania, HABS/HAER has been active in support\nof AIHP since 1987.\n* Augusta Canal National Historic Landmark, Georgia - $74,000\nFunding to support planning. HAER documented the Augusta Power Canal, textile mills and\nassociated industries in 1977.\n* Birmingham District National Heritage Area, Alabama - $248,000\nFunding to support the second year of HABS/HAER documentation in Birmingham. HAER\ndocumented Sloss Furnace, now a NHL, in 1976 and was instrumental in its designation as a national\nhistoric landmark and its subsequent development as a major industrial museum.\n* Blackstone River Valley Heritage Corridor Commission - $347,000\nThe Blackstone flows through eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This commission funded\nHAER to record in 1991 Slater Mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the oldest textile mill in the United\nStates.\n* Calumet National Historic Landmark District, Michigan - $0\nHAER documented structures associated with copper mining of the Upper Peninsula in the late 1970s.\n* Dayton Aviation Heritage Commission, Ohio - $50,000\nA new heritage commission, initial funding is for planning. HAER has not worked directly on these\nresources but is currently involved in a multi-year documentation program of the most historic areas\nof Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton.\n28\nACTIVITIES\n*\nDelaware and Lehigh Navigational Canal Commission - $347,000\nLocated in the eastern part of Pennsylvania, HAER has documented the Ashley Breaker (1991) and\nthe Beth Forge Plant of Bethlehem Steel (1990) for this commission.\n*\nIllinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor Commission - $248,000\nThe second-oldest heritage corridor, behind Lowell, HABS/HAER did extensive work for this\ncommission along the I & M Canal running southwest of Chicago for 110 miles, in 1985-87.\n* Lackawanna Heritage Valley, Pennsylvania - $422,000\nA new heritage area.\n*\nLowell Historic Preservation Commission, Massachusetts - $726,000\nThe granddaddy of heritage areas/corridors, HABS/HAER has undertaken extensive documentation\nof the historic resources in Lowell since the early 1970s.\n* Mississippi River Corridor Heritage Commission - $149,000\nUndoubtedly the longest heritage corridor.\n* New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail - $205,000\nThe New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail is more a series of self-guided tours and interpretative devices\nalong the Jersey Coast. HABS/HAER has conducted extensive research here, in the areas of\nvernacular architecture, agriculture, ship-building and other subjects.\n* Steamtown National Historic Site, Pennsylvania - $12,893,000\nProbably the most controversial heritage area, Steamtown is headquartered in Scranton, Pennsylvania.\nThe Scranton yards of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad were recorded by HAER in\n1989.\n* Steel Industry Heritage Task Force, Pennsylvania - $0\nCentered on the Homestead works near Pittsburgh, the task force was not successful in receiving its\n$2 million request for 1992. HAER has maintained a field office in support of the Steel Industry\nHeritage Task Force since 1989.\n* Wheeling National Heritage Area, West Virginia - $2,304,000\nA HABS/HAER team documented both architectural and engineering sites in Wheeling in 1990.\nOther additions could probably be made to this list. The heritage corridor/area concept is one that has\ndeveloped a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm by its supporters. Heritage corridors/areas are said to\ndevelop tourism, encourage development, preserve important historic resources, and develop Americans'\ninterest in their industrial and engineering heritage. From the National Park Service point of view, the\nconcept integrates numerous outreach programs, builds a broader constituency for the preservation mission\nof the Service, and can be an effective tool for limiting new park acquisitions when financial support doesn't\nseem to be sustainable. We at HABS/HAER are proud to be part of the effort.\n29\nACTIVITIES\nInternational Activities\nHABS historian Elizabeth Barthold participated in the US/ICOMOS summer internship program and spent\nthree months working for the Wessex Region of England's Natinal Trust at the Kingston Lacy Estate in\nDorset. She researched aspects of the estate's landscape. Barthold will also be giving a paper on the\nL'Enfant-McMillan Plan of Washington, D.C., a multi-year HABS project, at the International Symposium\non the Conservation of Urban Squares and Parks in spring 1993, to be held in Montreal, Canada.\nHABS/HAER Deputy Chief John A. Burns delivered a speech, \"The Historic American Buildings\nSurvey/Historic American Engineering Record,\" at the Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies, University\nof York, York, England, on September 25, 1992. He similarly spoke before the Royal Commission on\nHistoric Monuments, England, and English Heritage in London, September 28.\nSpain hosted the 8th International Congress for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage (TICCIH),\nSeptember 13-18, 1992. Approximately 200 delegates from around the world met in Madrid for three days\nof formal sessions pertaining to industrial heritage. HAER Chief Eric DeLony, representing the National Park\nService, co-chaired the session on fieldwork with Steve Hughes of the Royal Commission on the Historical\nMonuments of Wales. Prior to the formal working sessions in Madrid, delegates met in Barcelona and toured\nCatelonian textile mills and other industrial works. The United States shares a preeminent role as one of the\nworld's leaders in industrial heritage, along with other industrialized nations. Though the lead in these matters\nrests with industrialized nations, less-industrialized countries have not suffered the loss of heritage as have the\nmore developed countries. These countries view their industrial heritage as unique and worthy of\npreservation. The next international conference, in 1994, will be hosted by Canada.\nPaul D. Dolinsky, HABS chief, was one of nine Americans selected to participate in an international\nconference at Ditchley Park in Oxfordshire, England. The topic of the conference was \"Preserving the\nArchitectural Heritage\" and focused on preservation priorities, patterns of support and tourism.\nDitchley House, Oxfordshire, England, c. 1722.

Dolinsky, 1992\n30\nACTIVITIES\nWhite House Exhibit and the First Lady\nIn October 1991, the White House celebrated the 200th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone. To\nconvey its architectural history, the American Architectural Foundation (AAF) and the White House Historical\nAssociation organized the exhibition \"White House: Images in Architecture 1792-1992.\" The assembly of\ndrawings, photographs, documents, and artifacts was opened by First Lady Barbara Bush, and remained on\ndisplay at the Octagon and the American Institute of Architects (AIA) headquarters through April 1992.\nCurator of the exhibit was Betty Monkman, associate curator of the White House.\nDisplayed in the AIA gallery were HABS measured drawings that documented the White House as part of the\ncontinuing restoration effort.\nLeft, HABS architect and project supervisor Frederick\nLindstrom discusses exhibit with First Lady Barbara Bush.\nPhotographer: Jack E.

Boucher, 1992\n31\nACTIVITIES\nCongressman Neil Abercrombie Visits HABS/HAER\nOn March 30, 1992, Congressman Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii), a member of the Interior Authorization\nCommittee, visited HABS/HAER offices at 1100 L Street -- the first congressman to do so in recent memory.\nAbercrombie's interest in HABS/HAER is based on his observation of the HABS summer 1991 Kalaupapa\nproject, also acclaimed by Senator Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) and Congresswoman Patsy Mink (D-Hawaii).\nIndependence Hall Drawings\nAt a May 11 public ceremony outside of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, a multi-year effort to produce\nthe first comprehensive set of measured drawings of Independence Hall was culminated. Independence\nNational Historical Park Superintendent Martha B. Aikens formally presented forty-five sheets of HABS\ndrawings, photographs, and field records of Independence Hall to HABS/HAER Chief Robert J. Kapsch, for\ndeposit in the HABS collection in the Library of Congress. Also participating in the ceremony were\nCongressman Peter H. Kostmayer, chairman of the House Interior Subcommittee on Energy and the\nEnvironment; Congressman Thomas M. Foglietta, in whose district Independence Hall is located; and\nCongressman Lucien E. Blackwell. In assessing the stewardship responsibility of the National Park Service\nto care for Independence Hall, which is owned by the city of Philadelphia, park historical architect Penelope\nHartshorne Batcheler discovered that, while there were dozens of drawings and hundreds of photographs of\nthe building, there was no single consistent, comprehensive and accurate set of measured drawings.\nParadoxically, the most pristine parts of the structure--the exterior brickwork, the central hall, and the tower\nstairhall--had never been recorded in measured drawings because they had never required extensive restoration\nwork. The most intact and historic parts of the\nbuilding were most at risk because they were\ninadequately documented. Thus began an\nintensive, long-term effort to produce\nIII\ncomprehensive photogrammetric documentation of\nIndependence Hall for public information and\ninterpretation, for day-to-day preservation\nmaintenance and ongoing restoration, and as a\nform of protection against catastrophic loss.\nLeft to right, Peter H.

Davies, 1992.\n32\nACTIVITIES\nStereophotogrammetry was the technique chosen to produce the measured drawings of Independence Hall.\nThe project was sponsored by the park under the direction of Batcheler and William D. Brookover, with\ntechnical support from HABS/HAER Deputy Chief John A. Burns. The recording was begun in June 1985\nby Dennett, Muessig, Ryan and Associates, Ltd. The forty-five measured drawings were completed in April\n1990. Three sets of 6.5cm X 9cm glass plate stereopairs were made, with 290 pairs in each set (105 exterior\nand 185 interior). The original drawings and one set of the plates were transferred to HABS/HAER.\nPhotomylar duplicates of the drawings and the second set of plates were retained by the park, and another set\nof photomylars was sent to the Technical Information Center, Denver Service Center, NPS. A third set of\nplates was retained by the contractor.\nNORTH ELEVATION\nSCALE\nINDEPENDENCE HALL\nIndependence Hall. Delineator: Marie A. Neubauer, 1986-1987.\nPlotted by: Bruce A. Harms, 1986\n33\nACTIVITIES\nUniversity of Maryland\nIn 1992, HABS/HAER entered into a cooperative agreement with the University of Maryland. The\ncooperative agreement permits the University of Maryland Historic Preservation program to offer two long\ncourses and two short courses related to HABS/HAER. The long courses to be offered include \"HABS/HAER\nMeasured Drawings,\" to be taught by Judith Capen, and \"Historians Field Methods,\" to be taught by Peter\nKurtze. HABS/HAER staff will assist in teaching these courses. The short courses will include \"Architectural\nPhotography\" by HABS photographer Jack E. Boucher and HAER photographer Jet Lowe, and \"Heritage\nAreas,\" by HAER Chief Eric N. DeLony and the HAER staff. In addition, the cooperative agreement\npermitted the funding of two University of Maryland interns, Virginia Carter and Dwayne Scheid who, under\nthe direction of HABS/HAER collections management specialist Georgette Wilson, are organizing the\narchitectural and engineering library. Finally, the cooperative agreement facilitated the establishment of the\nUniversity of Maryland-HABS/HAER lecture series. Lectures in 1993 include: February 2 - \"The Living\nin the Dead: Making Monuments out of Human Action,\" Bernard L. Herman, associate director of the Center\nfor Historic Architecture and Engineering, University of Delaware; February 16 \"World Heritage: A Legacy\nfor All,\" Terry B. Morton, president, U.S. Committee of the International Council on Monuments and Sites;\nMarch 2-\"Historic Preservation in Maryland and/or the Politics of Preservation,\" J. Rodney Little, director,\nMaryland Division of Historical and Cultural Programs; March 30 - \"National Park Service: Future\nDirections in Historic Preservation,\" Jerry L. Rogers, associate director for Cultural Resources, National Park\nService; April 20 - \"The Pioneer Generation of Architectural Historians and Their Role in Preservation,\"\nCharles B. Hosmer, Jr., professor of history, Principia College.\nThe cooperative agreement was facilitated by the leadership of professors James Flack, David Fogle, Mary\nSies, and Joan Zen Zen who served as course coordinator, all of University of Maryland.\nHAER Cosponsors Historic Bridge Conference\nIn August 1992, HAER cosponsored the International Historic Bridge Conference in Columbus, Ohio, hosted\nby the School of Engineering at Ohio State University, and by the Ohio Historic Preservation Office-Ohio\nHistorical Society. This was the fourth in a series of regional conferences convened by the two institutions\nto bring together engineers and historic preservation specialists to discuss historic bridges. So successful was\nthe first meeting, held eight years ago and attracting more than 100 attenders, the two organizations decided\nto hold the meetings on a bi-annual basis. Continuous interest resulted in the sponsorship of an international\nconference. Engineers and bridge scholars from around the world were invited to share their experiences in\nresearching and saving historic bridges. A significant number of engineers attended the three-day meetings,\ndue in part to the event's sponsorship by one of the country's most prestigious engineering schools.\nIn conjunction with this conference, the Transportation Research Board, National Academy of Sciences,\nsponsored a historic-bridge rehabilitation workshop the previous day. HAER Chief Eric DeLony and Abba\nLichtenstein co-chaired the sessions attended by more than fifty participants. A. G. Lichtenstein & Associates\nis one of the country's foremost consultants on bridge rehabilitation.\n34\nAIA/CHR Resolution: HABS 60th Anniversary\nThe American Institute of Architects' Committee on Historic Resources (AIA/CHR) passed a resolution\nbeginning the commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Historic American Buildings Survey at their\nwinter meeting in San Antonio, Texas, on March 1, 1992. The text of the resolution is below.\nA number of activities are planned, in cooperation with the AIA and other professional interest groups,\nespecially for November 17th, the actual day the HABS program was approved in 1933.\nWHEREAS, the Historic American Buildings Survey of the National\nPark Service was the first national historic preservation\nprogram and has through the years, been of immeasurable\nbenefit to the scholarship and appreciation of historic\nstructures;\nWHEREAS, some three thousand student architects and others\nengaged in the Survey have become acquainted with the\ninterest and importance of our historical heritage; and\nWHEREAS, the Survey has continued in operation, increasing in scale\nand scope; and\nWHEREAS, this unique and pioneering program is fast approaching\nthe advent of its 60th year in 1993;\nNOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the American Institute of\nArchitects form an ad-hoc committee to help the National Park\nService plan an appropriate formal commemoration of this\nmilestone in Washington, at the AIA convention in Chicago,\nand across the United States, in 1993.\n35\nACTIVITIES\nHABS/HAER Moves to 800 North Capitol Street\nOn the evening of August 3, the General Services Administration (GSA) began moving the offices of\nHABS/HAER from 1100 L Street, NW, to its new space at 800 North Capitol St., NW. The move itself was\nreminiscent of an ancient curse about one's office being moved by the lowest bidder. Initially planned for\none evening, the move extended through most of the week. The HABS/HAER copier was stolen in the\nprocess and no copiers were available in the new building. Furniture was damaged, some beyond use. Yet\nHABS/HAER survived through the tireless efforts of its staff, many working long into the night.\nThe new offices are a great improvement. In some sense they had to be. HABS/HAER was greatly\novercrowded in its former location, although we weren't so sensitive to that fact until we overheard members\nof the GSA's Inspector General's office touring 1100 L Street say to each other, \"Can you imagine people\nwork like this?\"\nSpace planning of the new HABS/HAER space was undertaken by John Burns and Paul Dolinsky. Utilizing\nan open-space planning concept, Burns and Dolinsky were able to provide more space to HABS/HAER staff\nwithout exceeding the total GSA-authorized space by minimizing circulation space and grouping historians,\narchitects, and collections activities together.\nThe move to 800 North Capitol allowed us to consolidate HABS/HAER offices in one building. The\nCAD/photogrammetry laboratory had been in the Pension Building/National Building Museum, thanks to\nRobert Duemling, president and director of the museum. One great advantage in relocating was, for the first\ntime, the provision of darkroom space to HABS/HAER photographers, where they will do their own\nprocessing and printing.\nWe expect to be at 800 North Capitol through the\nyear 2003. Other HABS/HAER homes in the\nWashington, D.C. area have included 1721 North\nLynn St., Arlington, Virginia; 801 19th St., NW;\n1100 L Street, NW (twice), and the Pension\nBuilding at 440 G St., NW. Our favorite location\nwas, of course, the Pension Building.\nOur mailing address remains P.O.

The\nactivities were chosen to promote social interaction between the Washington-based staff and summer hires.\nThe picnic committee consisted of HABS architects Mellonee Rheams and Robert R. Arzola, and HABS\nhistorian Kimberly R. Sebold.\nOn July 31, the HABS/HAER staff, summer team members, and friends of HABS/HAER were invited to a\nreception at the National Building Museum, location of the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials team's CAD\nlaboratory. The reception offered an opportunity for summer employees to meet the Washington staff, learn\nhow the Washington office operates, as well as to observe a CAD demonstration. Each visiting team, as well\nas the long-term Washington-based documentation projects, presented T-shirts, pencilings of drawings,\nfieldnotes, photographs and drafts of historical reports. A spokesman from each team gave short presentations\non each project. There were approximately fifteen informative presentations, and though the recording season\nhad not culminated, remarkable examples of documentation were shown. The gathering concluded with\nrefreshments.\nOn Saturday, the group enjoyed a tour of buildings of architectural and/or historic interest, including the\nScottish Rite Temple/House of the Temple, the National Building Museum/Pension Building, and a behind-the-\nscenes tour of the Jefferson Memorial. Lunch took place along the Tidal Basin near the Jefferson Memorial.\nDay three, Sunday, was the annual HABS/HAER picnic at Seneca Creek State Park in Gaithersburg,\nMaryland, which offered canoes, rowboats, paddle boats, a disc golf course, and hiking trails. Prizes,\nconsisting of HABS/HAER publications, were awarded to the winners of volleyball and disc golf tournaments.\nApproximately 100 HABS/HAER employees, friends and family members attended. Summer teams responded\nfrom as far away as Independence, Missouri.\nApproximately seven designs were entered into the new annual summer-teams T-shirt competition.\nCompetition was stiff and lots of fun, especially for those who used picnic tables as runways. The first place\ndesign was modeled by Brian Cary of the HABS/HAER collections management section; second place went\nto Paul G. Homeyer of the HABS White House documentation team.\n37\nACTIVITIES\n72\n65\n66\n52\n53\n54\n9\n3\n13\n21\n24\n12\n33g\n5\n18\n51\n13\n8\n20\n27\n17\n23\n31\n46\n26\n36\n40\n45\n47\n2\n11\n16\n48\n30\n4\n10\n15\n19\n39\n24\n44\n25\n43\n22\n35\n28\n38\n42\n34\n38\nACTIVITIES\n1992 HABS/HAER Picnic\n[1] Emily Burns, [2] John Burns [HABS/HAER Deputy Chief], [3] Amy McGroarty [HAER], [4] Robert Arzola [White House],\n[5] Charlie FitzSimons, [6] Neal FitzSimons [HAER Co-Founder], [7] Dana Lockett [Lincoln/Jefferson Memorials], [8] Isabel\nYang [Monticello], [9] Sarah Heald [HAER Alumna], [10] Alison Isenberg [New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail], [11] Orlin K.\nBoyanov [Harry S.

'Kim' Hoagland's first\nsummer with HABS was spent in Prairie du Chien,\nWisconsin, in 1978. The following summer, she\nworked in the Washington office, and she has been there\never since. As a HABS historian and subsequently\nHABS senior historian, she has supervised projects from\nVirginia to Hawaii, as well as transmittals from here to\nthe Library of Congress. In 1984, she received a\nQuality Performance Award for her participation as\nsupervisor of the Reduction and Transmittal (RAT)\nProject, for which, in 1983-84, a record number of\ndocumentation was transmitted to the library. In recent\nyears, she has also directed the HABS portion of the\ndocumentation in the America's Industrial Heritage\nProject region of southwestern Pennsylvania. Her\nparticular interest has been Alaska, where she first\nrepresented HABS in 1982; she has written a book on\nAlaska for the Society of Architectural Historians'\nBuildings of the United States series (Oxford University\nPress), slated for publication in spring 1993. Kim received her undergraduate degree in American civilization\nfrom Brown University and her master's degree from George Washington University in American studies with\na concentration in historic preservation. Hoagland currently serves on the board of directors of the\nVernacular Architecture Forum.\nHAER historian Dean Herrin joined the HAER staff as\na historian in 1990, with particular interests in coal\nmining, iron and steel, and the impact of American\nindustrialization on \"traditional\" people. A 1981\ngraduate of Brown University, he received his M.A.\nfrom the Winterthur Program in early American culture\nat the University of Delaware in 1984, and his doctoral\ndegree from the Hagley Program at the University of\nDelaware in 1992. His dissertation was titled,\n\"Breaking the Stillness': The Coal Industry and the\nTransformation of Appalachian Virginia, 1880-1920.\"\nHerrin was a predoctoral fellow at the Smithsonian\nInstitution's National Museum of American History in\n1988. At HAER, in addition to supervising historians\non summer projects, he has been project leader for\nHAER's multi-year documentation of the industrial\nresources of the Monongahela Valley, outside\nPittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and of the two-year\ndocumentation of early aeronautical engineering features\nof Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. He is currently the president of the Washington,\nD.C., (Montgomery C. Meigs) chapter of the Society for Industrial Archeology.\n43\nPEOPLE\nPromotions, cont'd.\nHABS historian Sara Amy Leach joined HABS/HAER\nin 1988. Before joining HABS, she worked as an\nhistorian with the National Capital Region-NPS\nND POTO\nresearching and writing National Register nominations\nROCK\non Civilian Conservation Corps-built campgrounds and\nWashin\non the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. She served\nitinerantly as a field historian for HABS during summer\n1986 on the Illinois & Michigan Canal documentation\nproject, as a graduate fellow at the Smithsonian\nInstitution's National Museum of American History to\nconduct thesis research on the detached colonial kitchen,\nand as a freelance writer. Leach earned her M.A. in\narchitectural history and a certificate in historic\npreservation from the University of Virginia in 1986.\nShe received a B.A. in journalism and B.F.A. in art\nhistory from Ohio Wesleyan University. Her work as\na project leader at HABS/HAER has focused on\nestablishing standards for documenting urban and road-\nrelated landscapes--such as the L'Enfant-McMillan Plan\nof Washington, and the Merritt and Rock Creek & Potomac parkways--as well as directing other recording\nprojects.\nFederal Service Milestones\nR. Marlene Bergstrom, field program administrator, celebrates 16 years of Federal service. She left a life\nof serenity as a homemaker to join the National Park Service in 1976 when she was hired by HABS/HAER\nto type historical-data manuscripts. Later, she worked on transmittals, compiling and organizing materials\nfor transfer to the Library of Congress. Bergstrom became a permanent member of the staff and three years\nlater was named photographic services assistant, a position created to provide administrative support to the\nstaff photographers and archival-records management functions. In 1987, she assumed the responsibility of\nsummer program administrator, a full-time position coordinating the administrative activities associated with\nan ever-expanding summer program. In 1950 Bergstrom received an associate of arts degree from Towson\nState Teachers College (now Towson State University) in Maryland, where she was in the first graduating\nclass of the newly established junior college.\nJack E. Boucher, HABS architectural photographer, marked thirty years of Federal Service on July 26, all\nwith HABS. Boucher's Federal career began in 1958 at the HABS office in Philadelphia under the supervision\nof founder Charles E. Peterson. His initial assignment was to record the unearthing of the original flagpole\nbase at Fort McHenry, working with architect Lee Nelson. In late 1966, having long been active in historic\npreservation, he continued to work for HABS under contract. With the inception of the HAER program in\n1969, Boucher returned to \"the fold\" to work for both programs. His tenure with HABS has taken Boucher\nto forty-nine of the fifty States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands photographing structures-- \"from privies\nto palaces,\" he says.

University and other\nestablished presses use peer review, reach large audiences, have greater professional credibility and are high\nin quality compared to some government publications. The disadvantage of using university and other\nestablished presses is that it is difficult to have a title accepted for publication. These publishing projects are\nundertaken through cooperative agreements with, usually, royalties paid to HABS/HAER. Current projects\ninclude the following:\nBuildings of Alaska, by Alison K. Hoagland, senior historian, HABS. To be published by Oxford University\nPress, spring 1993. In an ambitious project conceived by William Pierson and Adolf Placek, the\nSociety of Architectural Historians is sponsoring Buildings of the United States, a series of\nguidebooks to all the states. HABS veteran and University of Missouri professor Osmund Overby\nis editor-in-chief for the series. Alaska is one of the first four volumes, all of which will be published\nthis spring. With several seasons of HABS work in Alaska to her credit, Hoagland took a leave of\nabsence in FY90 to write this volume, contracting with HAER photographer Jet Lowe to provide\nmany of the photographs. Large-format photographs taken for this book will go into the HABS\ncollection. The 320-page book (containing 200 half-tones, 24 line drawings, 35 maps) will sell for\n$29.95 and can be obtained from Oxford University Press, 200 Madison Avenue, New York, NY\n10016.\nLandmark American Bridges, by Eric DeLony, HAER chief. To be published by the American Society of Civil\nEngineers and the Bulfinch Press of Little, Brown Publishing Company of Boston, in May 1993, this book\nrepresents the best of HAER bridge documentation collected over the last twenty years. The brainchild\nof ASCE Executive Director Edward Pfrang and HABS/HAER Chief Robert Kapsch (the two worked\ntogether at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Center for Building Technology) the book,\nas described by ASCE, \"could well be the definitive pictorial treatise on U.S. bridge-building.\" The book\nincludes ninety-four bridges illustrated in more than 200 photographs and drawings. Curtis Deane was the\nASCE program manager and Zoe Foundotos was the ASCE acquisitions editor. The 160-page book will\nsell for $40.00, from Marketing Services A237, American Society of Civil Engineers, 345 East 47th Street,\nNew York, NY 10017-2398.

Boucher. To be published by Johns\nHopkins University Press in spring 1993. This publication is the result of a model documentation project\ndeveloped by Robert J. Kapsch, HABS/HAER chief, and Gail Rothrock, Prince George's County historic\npreservation coordinator, to demonstrate how HABS/HAER can work with local governments to\ncomprehensively record the historic structures. HABS photographer Jack E. Boucher and HABS historian\nCatherine C. Lavoie documented forty-two historic structures throughout Prince George's County through\nthe use of large format photography; approximately 900 photographs were taken and will be transmitted\nto the Library of Congress. They were assisted by Maryland National Capital Park and Planning\nCommission historian Susan Pearl. The book, representing the best of this documentation, was developed\nby Diane Maddex, president, Archetype Press. George Thompson, acquisitions editor, and James\nJohnston, vice president, Johns Hopkins University Press, greatly facilitated the project. The book will\nalso include essays by Rothrock, Pearl, Lavoie, Kapsch, and Boucher. It will sell for $29.95 and can be\nobtained by writing to The Johns Hopkins University Press, Sales Department, 701 West 40th St.,\nBaltimore, MD 21211-2190, or by calling 410-516-6936.\nA Quest for Grandeur, by Sally Kress Tompkins, former deputy chief of HABS/HAER; photographs by Jack E.\nBoucher. To be published spring 1993 by Smithsonian Institution Press. The genesis for this book began\nfollowing Tompkins' death in 1989, and the realization that her thesis, on Charles Moore and the\ndevelopment of the Federal Triangle in Washington, D.C., was an important contribution to our knowledge\nof the development of the Federal city. The Smithsonian Institution Press was ably represented by\nacquisitions editor Amy Pastan and production editor Rebecca Browning. HABS/HAER historian Caroline\nBedinger served as the project leader. Richly illustrated with seventy-six illustrations, this 181-page book\nwill make an important contribution to our knowledge of Washington, D.C.

Gregory Franzwa, publisher of Patrice\nPress, became interested in publishing a catalog to this unique collection. Financially assisted by donations\narranged by Charles E. Peterson, Franzwa hired Pulitzer-prize winning author Frank L. Peters, Jr., to\nwork ,with HABS senior architectural historian Kim Hoagland to produce the richly illustrated catalog.\nMonticello: Drawings of the Historic American Buildings Survey, text by restoration director William Beiswanger,\nThomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, and Paul Dolinsky, HABS chief; drawings by Isabel Yang, HABS\narchitect, and others.

Gray Fitzsimons, HAER Engineer/Historian\nRichard J. O'Connor, HAER Historian\nProject Historian:\nFrederic L. Quivik, Historian, University of Pennsylvania\nIn 1991, HAER embarked on a study of the Connellsville coke region, one of world's prominent metallurgical\ncoking districts in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Frederic Quivik undertook the first part\nof this study, conducting research of primary and secondary sources, surveying various abandoned beehive\ncoke works, and interviewing a number of local residents who were involved with the industry. The study\nfocused on the business strategies and technologies employed by one of the nation's largest coke producers,\nthe H. C. Frick Coke Company, as well as one of Frick's competitors, the W. J. Rainey Company. Quivik\nprepared a draft report on his research and outlined a series of issues and questions for a second phase of the\nresearch and writing. In the summer of 1992, Quivik returned to the project, refining and expanding his\nearlier work. This included a section on the Frick Company's works at Shoaf, one of the early mechanized\nbeehive coke operations in the Connellsville district.\nQuivik's study demonstrates that Frick and others in the Connellsville district, though choosing to continue\nwith beehive rather than the technologically advanced by-product coke production, nevertheless adopted some\nnew techniques for manufacturing coke and experimented with different types of ovens, plant layouts, and\n62\nHABS/HAER PROGRAMS\nkinds of equipment for charging, quenching and drawing coke from the ovens. Further, Connellsville coke\nmakers like Frick attempted to standardize their production processes, particularly after 1900. Quivik shows\nthat the Connellsville coke industry was not as technologically stagnant as other studies have suggested and\nthat such coke producers as the Frick Company adopted new techniques and invested large sums of capital\nin more modern beehive coke processes. The next phase of the study, to begin in 1993, will examine labor\nin the Connellsville region's coal and coke industry, and will look at the response of workers to this new\ntechnology.\nJeannette Glass and Flat Glass Contextual Study Jeannette, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.\nProject Leaders:\nG. Gray Fitzsimons, HAER Engineer/Historian\nRichard J. O'Connor, HAER Historian\nTeam Member:\nAmy C. McGroarty, The Catholic University of America\nBegun in the summer of 1991, a series of drawings depicting the process for producing flat glass, as carried\nout at the nationally important Chambers-McKee Window Glass Company in 1890s and early 1900s, was\ncompleted in 1992. Completed by Amy McGroarty, these drawings focus on the three major processes --\nhand production, the Lubbers cylinder, and the Fourcault machine used at Jeannette, and provide the reader\nwith an understanding of the size and scale of each operation, as well as the layout of equipment and\ninteraction of worker with machine, in Jeannette's largest glass plant.\nRelated to the Jeannette glass study, Richard O' 'Connor commenced a survey of other flat glass manufacturers\nthroughout western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana. The aim of the study is to place\nJeannette's industry in a larger context and identify physical remains from other plants operating during the\n1880s through the 1920s.\nHAER Inventory Publications for\nWashington, D.C.\nWestmoreland, Somerset and Indiana Counties\nProject Leaders:\nG.

Hoagland, HABS Senior Historian\nThe town of Norvelt, originally named Westmoreland Homesteads, was built in 1934-37 by the U.S. Division\nof Subsistence Homesteads as part of New Deal relief efforts in the southwestern Pennsylvania coal fields.\nGrounded in the philosophies of self-help and back-to-the-land, much of the impetus for the subsistence\nhomesteads movement came from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), founded by the Society\nof Friends in 1917. The AFSC raised private funds and sponsored construction of a homesteads community\nnamed Penn-Craft in western Fayette County (1936-42). The curvilinear town plans, generous lot sizes, and\nvariety of house plans make both these towns conspicuous in a regional landscape dominated by more\nregimented company town plans.\nHABS historian Margaret M. Mulrooney began work on this project in 1989. She conducted research and\nfieldwork and drafted histories of both towns. After Mulrooney left HABS to begin graduate work at the\nCollege of William and Mary, HABS senior historian Alison K. Hoagland continued work on the project in\n1991. She completed an overview essay on the subsistence homesteads movement and assembled the work\nfor publication. HABS architect Isabel Yang produced simple floor plans and elevations of prototypical\ndesigns for each community, and David Ames, Center for Historic Architecture and Engineering, University\nof Delaware, produced large format photographs.\nRefractories Company Towns\nProject Leader:\nAlison K. Hoagland, HABS Senior Historian\nProject Historian:\nKim E. Wallace, HABS Historian\nAs part of its documentation of the coal, steel, and transportation industries in the AIHP region of\nPennsylvania, HABS/HAER has produced histories of towns dominated by coal mines, steel mills, and the\nPennsylvania Railroad. This study moves beyond these primary and more visible industries to examine the\nrefractory brick industry, which produced materials to build steel furnaces, coke ovens, and locomotive boilers\nand fireboxes. It focuses on eight towns with company housing that survives from the heyday of the\nrefractory brickyards during the first decades of the twentieth century. The towns are scattered across the\nregion and represent a spectrum of refractories companies, company housing policies, and company town\ndevelopment. They include Bolivar and Salina in Westmoreland County, Robinson in Indiana County,\nBlandburg in Cambria County, Sproul and Claysburg in Blair County, Mt. Union in Huntingdon County, and\nKistler in Mifflin County. Although this study is sponsored by HABS and is focused on company housing,\n64\nHABS/HAER PROGRAMS\nit will include a history of the refractories industry and brick-making technology, to place the company\nhousing in the context of the industry and to provide a more complete view of these company towns.\nPreliminary research for this project was conducted by HABS historians Margaret M. Mulrooney in 1989 and\nby Nancy Spiegel in 1990. Project historian Kim E. Wallace completed the research and design of the project\nand undertook the writing and preparation of a publication in 1991-92, under the direction of HABS senior\nhistorian Alison K. Hoagland. HABS architect Isabel Yang drew maps of the towns, plus sketches and floor\nplans of selected company houses. Jet Lowe and David Ames provided large-format photographic\ndocumentation of the towns. The large format photographs, drawings, and historic photographs will be\npublished with Wallace's text in 1993 as Brickyard Towns: A History of Refractories Industry Communities\nin South-Central Pennsylvania.\nAIHP/HABS Transmittal Project\nProject Leader:\nAlison K.

Six of the large-scale projects were published in cooperation with AIHP and a\nnumber of these publications are now in their second printing. With the publication process completed, the\ndocumentation materials were prepared for transmittal to the Library of Congress. HABS/HAER historians\narranged to transmit copies of the documentation and research materials to an archive at Indiana University\nof Pennsylvania, established to house the records of AIHP.

DeLony, Chief, HAER\nProject Manager:\nRobbyn L. Jackson, HAER Architect\nField Leader:\nCraig N. Strong, HAER Architect\nDuring the summer of 1992, HAER undertook the first part of a multi-year effort to document the industrial\nheritage of the Birmingham District, an area rich in the history of iron and manufacturing. The documentation\nproduced by HAER will define the heritage area visually and verbally, and will serve as the foundation for\npreservation and interpretive plans. The nineteen-member team, made up of architects, architecture\ntechnicians, historians, and a photographer, conducted four separate recording projects, in support of local\nefforts to establish an Industrial Heritage District in a five-county area. Sponsored by the Birmingham\nHistorical Society and funded by congressional appropriation, the team documented the railroad infrastructure\nof the district, the Hardie-Tynes foundry and machine shop, the Republic Steel Corporation's Thomas by-\nproduct coke works, and a series of smaller, less traditional sites. For the most part, the sites were selected\nbecause they tie into historical themes that distinguish the district as an important iron and steel region.\n66\nHABS/HAER PROGRAMS\nHardie-Tynes Machinery Manufacturing Company\nBirmingham, Alabama\nTeam Members:\nEvelyn L.

English, Historian, Ironbridge Institute, United Kingdom, [ICOMOS]\nZvonimir Franic, Architect, Institute for the Preservation of the Historical\nMonuments and Nature of Dubrovnik, Croatia, [ICOMOS]\nLaura H. Letton, Architecture Technician, Miami University\nHardie-Tynes is a study in adaptability, having begun as a builder of steam engines, air compressors and\nmining equipment, and now doing specialized contract work for the Defense Department, major dam projects,\nand a variety of other customers. The company first supplied local mines and industries, but later produced\ncomponents for the Panama Canal, the Hoover Dam and other major national and international projects. The\nHardie-Tynes HAER team produced drawings which show how the plant changed over time in response to\nchanging markets and major fires. Also, the team produced drawings that depict how Hardie-Tynes made a\nmajor piece of mining equipment. The drawings illustrate the manufacture of a mine hoist drum, highlighting\nkey stages in the process; and such tasks as melting cast iron in a cupola and pouring it into custom-made\nmolds in the foundry. They also show selected machine tools that performed the finishing work in the\nmachine shop.\nKoppers By-Product Coking Operation\nThomas, Alabama\nTeam Members:\nCraig N.

Heintz, Architect, Harvard University\nThe Thomas Coke Plant is a battery of sixty-four Koppers-Becker Coke Ovens which produced a range of coal\nby-products and coke used as fuel for the Republic Steel Corporation's Thomas blast furnaces. The HAER\nteam produced documentation that illustrated the production of coke and the distillation of by-product gas.\nThe Thomas by-product coke ovens and plant are significant not only because they provide a well-preserved\nexample of how blast furnace fuel and its byproducts were produced, but also because they can be used to\ndemonstrate that American blast furnace companies were finely tuned iron-making systems in which mines,\nquarries, coke ovens and blast furnaces worked in close harmony. The drawing of the Birmingham Industrial\nDistrict, ca. 1950, produced by the Thomas Coke Works recording team, illustrates the proximity of the\nmines, quarries, coke ovens and blast furnaces in the district.\n67\nHABS/HAER PROGRAMS\nRailroad Survey of the Birmingham District National Heritage Corridor Birmingham, Alabama\n(Multiyear project)\nTeam Members:\nMark M. Brown, Supervisory Historian, University of Pittsburgh\nScott C. Brown, Historian, University of Pennsylvania\nNichole N. Duren, Architect, Howard University\nThe HAER team studied the railroad infrastructure of the Birmingham District, mapping the trunk and\nindustrial rail routes. Rail transportation was key to the movement of raw materials and finished products\nbetween interrelated sites in the district. In addition to recording the routes of major trunk lines and smaller\nindustrial short lines in the district, the railroad recording project has looked at the question of vertical\nintegration and how it might have applied in such a compact geographical area. Their work shows that\nWoodward Iron Company, a Wheeling, West Virginia, transplant in the 1880s and the leading local foundry\npig iron producer, had achieved full vertical integration well before Carnegie and other major northern\nproducers. While most local blast furnace companies were not able to achieve complete company-controlled\nrail linkage between their holdings, dubbed its \"straight line production\" model, all had well defined, compact\ntransportation routes.\nRoving HAER Survey\nBirmingham, Alabama\nTeam Members:\nKyle M. D'Agostino, Supervisory Architect, Syracuse University\nDavid H. Diesing, Photographer, University of Dayton\nCatherine I. Kudlik, Architecture Technician, The Catholic University of America\nRobert C. Martin, Architecture Technician, Auburn University\nJoseph L. Shannon, Jr., Historian, University of Alabama in Birmingham\nThe HAER team traveled the woods and more isolated areas of the Birmingham District, recording important\nsmall-scale industrial sites before finishing the season doing field sketches of the workers' housing at the\nThomas Furnaces site. The roving team marks a departure from the traditional HAER documentation project.\nIn an innovative move, HAER's unique documentary skills were adapted to record a series of small sites that\nwere tied to the larger story of vertically integrated iron-making systems. Individually, none of the sites\nwould have been substantial enough to occupy a HAER team for the whole summer, but most were crucial\nto the overall significance of the district. One, for instance, was the company housing of Republic Steel's\nThomas blast furnace and coke works. The Thomas housing illustrates the living conditions of southern\nindustrial workers and their close but distinct relationship to northern counterparts. The team also documented\nthe foundation remnants and other surface-viable archeological remains of two nineteenth-century coal mines.\nThe Brookside coal mine reveals the pioneering role the district played in developing American metallurgical\ncoal washing practice. It contains perhaps the best preserved archeological remains of a Robinson-Ramsay\ninverted cone coal washing plant that was perfected in the Birmingham District and became the first widely\nused metallurgical coal washing system in the country.\nThe Billy Gould mine site includes the retaining walls of the early battery of eleven non-by-product coke\novens that date to the 1860s-70s. Both are tied to important blast furnace companies; Brookside to Sloss and\nBilly Gould to the experimental Eureka Furnace at Oxmoor that proved the viability of making coal pig iron\n68\nHABS/HAER PROGRAMS\nfrom the Birmingham District's coal and iron ore.

Behrens, Architecture Technician, The Catholic University of America\nMellonee Rheams, Architect, HABS Office\nOn September 23, 1989, the residents of Charleston, South Carolina, were faced with the aftermath of\nHurricane Hugo. The damage to buildings, as a result of Hugo, were severe. None of the historic structures\naround the Battery were totally lost, as was the case elsewhere in the city. However, if a building had been\nlost, drawings did not exist to adequately reconstruct the structure.\nHABS/HAER, in cooperation with the Historic Charleston Foundation, undertook a documentation project\nof the Battery to produce a photogrammetric and photographic record of the streetscapes along South and East\nBattery in Charleston. These homes are considered the most vulnerable of the city's historic resources. This\ndocumentation is intended to provide a baseline documentation for catastrophic replacement.\nPhotogrammetric documentation was chosen because it is the most cost effective way of rapidly collecting data\nfor a large number of structures, enabling the recording team to photographically document twenty-six houses\nin eight days. The photographic images will be archived until scaled drawings are needed, at which time the\ngraphic information can be digitized into drawings, using AutoCAD and PhotoCAD software and a digitizing\ntable. The photogrammetric camera system was the Linhof Metrika 45 with a 90mm lens. The Metrika is\na semi-metric camera that produces 4\" X 5\" negatives on 5\" roll film. It is a specialized camera that was\nmanufactured in Germany and is the first of its kind to be used in the United States.\n72\nHABS/HAER PROGRAMS\nThe East Battery along the bay in Charleston, South Carolina.

After spending most of 1991 working on the plans of these important buildings,\n1992 was devoted primarily to measuring and drawing elevations and sections. This work was abetted by the\nerection of scaffolding, consisting of five movable towers of the Lincoln Memorial and three movable towers\nat the Jefferson Memorial. Used in conjunction with a team of consultant architects engaged by the Denver\nService Center to undertake a detailed stone-by-stone survey of the two buildings, the scaffolding towers\nprovided the HABS team access to normally inaccessible areas for measuring and photographic purposes. In\norder to record in detail the elaborately carved bas-relief ornamentation, extensive use was made of the\nproject's photogrammetric camera. Frequently, the camera was mounted onto a specially designed 11' long\nboom attached to one of the towers, and then swung out into space for better positioning than was available\nfrom the scaffolding itself. In addition, the camera proved useful for documenting several inaccessible\nlocations in the buildings where scaffolding was not available, such as the 40' high basement ceiling in the\nLincoln Memorial.\nMeasurement of the dome of the Jefferson Memorial was made possible using a mountaineering harness\nattached to a system of ropes, enabling team members to rappel up and down the walls. The HABS drawings\nproduced so far have already seen extensive use as base drawings for the ongoing multi-year restoration\nproject at both memorials.\n76\nWISCONSIN\nCALIFORNIA\nMII\nMDCCCXLVIII\nMDCCCL\nIV\nCornice, Lincoln Memorial.

This necessitated photographically reducing the large original drawings (plans are 54\" X 72\"\nand sections are 42\" X 72\" at 1/2\" = 1'-0\" scale) down to 1/4\" = 1'0\" scale to fit onto the standard 34\" X\n44\" HABS mylar. In addition, dimensions, room labels, and titles were added. Besides the plans and\nsections, select molding details were constructed and inked at half-size (6\" = 1'0\" scale).\nIn 1992, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation (TJMF) expanded its memorandum of agreement with\nHABS to document the four exterior elevations of the main residence. These were begun in fall 1992 and are\nscheduled to be completed by the middle of 1993. To commemorate 1993 as the 250th anniversary of Thomas\nJefferson's birth, the TJMF is planning an exhibit and a book featuring the drawings.\n78\nMONTICELLO EAST ELEVATION\nFEET\nDAVID\nSCHLEMBER\nANDREW & STONE\nHABS/HAER PROGRAMS\nDelineators: Isabel C.

Each inventory contains a systematic description\nof extant structures and equipment at each facility, select large format photographs of structures and\nequipment, and written histories of each facility. In addition, a set of measured drawings depicting Press Shop\nNo. 1 at the Homestead Works and the Blast Furnace Plant at the Duquesne Works have been included in the\nrespective inventories.\nWith the support of the Steel Industry Heritage Corporation, new projects were undertaken in Brownsville in\nFayette County. Led by Christopher Marston and Joel Sabadasz, the HAER teams documented the Dunlap\nCreek Bridge, built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers between 1936-39, and the first cast-iron arch bridge\nin the United States; the plant of the former Hillman Barge and Construction Company, where river coal and\ntank barges are still manufactured; and the shops and other support structures of the Monongahela Railway,\nan important local coal line. HAER's work was presented to the public in two meetings, in July and in\nNovember.\nIn 1993, HAER will finish the steel works inventories and turn its attention to the coal and coke industry of\nthe region, complementing work that has been done in America's Industrial Heritage Project (AIHP).\n80\nHABS/HAER PROGRAMS\nPRISTED\nBMA\n20\n$12 - W Vd\n21.21\nPENNSYLVANIA\nFAYETTE COUNTY\n- -\n-\nWATER STREET AND SEVENTEENTH STREET\nRECORDING PROJECT\n133.46\nMONONGAHELA RAILWAY COMPANY SHOPS\nMONONGAHELA VALLEY\nMark Pierson 1992\n10\n3\n10FT 3 3M M\n2\n-\n0\n5\nScale 3/16 3/16°-1'-0\"\n3\n10\nas\n10000 88888\n.........\nBAR\n75 FOOT TWIN SPAN TURNTABLE ISOMETRIC\nMonongahela Railway Company, Brownsville, Fayetteville County, Pennsylvania.

Homeyer, Architect, Washington, D.C.\nThe documentation of Pierce Mill in Rock Creek Park, Washington, D.C., began during summer 1990.\nPierce Mill, erected in 1829 by Isaac Pierce, a Quaker millwright, is the only extant grist mill in Washington,\nD.C., as well as an outstanding example of vernacular stone construction: granite stone bearing walls on the\nexterior, and heavy timber beams and columns on the interior. The mill employed the first generation of\nOliver Evans' patented revolutionary elevator/conveyor automated industrial milling process. It is currently\noperated by the National Park Service for interpretation of the history of grist mills.\nRock Creek Park was created in 1890 and incorporated Pierce Mill and other mills situated in Rock Creek\nin the new park. The main shaft of the mill broke in 1897. The mill machinery was then gradually\ndismantled and Pierce Mill became a teahouse. In 1935, the mill was restored to a working mill by the\nNational Park Service, with T. T. Waterman as project architect. It was also restored to its original 19th\ncentury appearance; however, some changes to the machinery, waterwheel and structure have occurred since\n1936.\nDuring summer 1990, the team members documented the structure and existing machinery, as well as the\nmilling process. The majority of the fieldwork and drawings were accomplished this first summer, and the\nproject was completed in the Washington office during summer 1992. In 1936, HABS produced photographic\nand written documentation on the grist mill, to which the 1990 and 1992 documentation will serve as an\naddendum. The 1990 drawings were also used in restoration work on the mill.\n82\nHABS/HAER PROGRAMS\nE.R\nGROUND\nEXPLODED ISOMETRIC\nATTIC\nSECOND FLOOR\nFIRST FLOOR\nBASEMENT\nREDUCED TO SCALE\n-\nPIERCE MILL ROCK CREE PARK\nTREM STREE\nPierce Mill.

As the exterior was restored, the old paint\nwas removed and the damaged stone was repaired or replaced and repainted. During this process, HABS\nrecorded the structure with photographs and measured drawings. These records show the exterior elevations\nwith the exposed stone graining and the previously hidden detail.\nThis was the last summer of the exterior recording project. This year's efforts were combined with the\ninterior project, and with the delineation of the stone coursing and graining patterns of the exposed stone onto\nthe base drawings that were produced during past summers. The final inked drawings were formatted to\nHABS standards and the exterior photographs were correlated with the interior photographs into one\ncomprehensive set for the transmittal to the Library of Congress.\nThe HABS recording project of The White House for the 200th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of The White House\nwas probably the most important permanent activity that we had undertaken in 1992.\n-Rex W.

Dyson, Historian, Ironbridge Institute, United Kingdom [ICOMOS]\nAmy E. Slaton, Historian, University of Pennsylvania\nIn the summer of 1991, HAER placed a team of six architects, two historians, and a photographer on Wright-\nPatterson Air Force Base to research and record the historic aeronautical engineering features of the most\nhistoric section of the base, the old Wright Field, now known as Area B. HAER was initially invited to\nWright-Patterson by the base's Office of Environmental Management and its historic preservation officer.\nThe project has been sponsored by that office and the Aeronautical Systems Center of Area B. HAER was\ngiven additional funding in September 1991 to continue its documentation of Area B in 1992. When the\nproject is complete, HAER will have comprehensively documented the site through the production of fifty-two\nsheets of drawings, 250 photographs, two brochures, and a published historical overview and inventory of\nstructures.\nWright Field was constructed in 1926, and was the home of the Army Air Corps' fledgling Materiel Division.\nEven though aeronautical engineering activities have continued on the base to the present, HAER was most\ninterested in structures and machinery dating from the early days of aeronautical engineering, the 1920s\nthrough the 1940s. HAER's architects and historians examined buildings, laboratory, equipment, and the\norganization of the site, using as a reference a historic structures inventory prepared by the base in association\nwith the Ohio Historic Preservation Office.\nHAER historians and architects together documented the complicated testing equipment developed by the\nArmy Air Corps. Immensely powerful propeller whirl rigs and wind tunnels (most of which are no longer\nintact) were used at Wright Field before and during World War II. In the final form, these were unlike any\nfound elsewhere, but part of HAER's analysis of this equipment was to determine which aspect had been\nborrowed from existing aeronautical technologies, and which were devised to suit the specific needs of Wright\nField's projects. This analysis placed Wright Field's facilities in their historical scientific context, and also\nilluminated the budgetary and administrative constraints operating on Air Corps engineers at different times.\nHAER's documentation of the site offers substantial data for historians of the military, architecture, and\nengineering of the country during this period.\n88\nKey to Isometric\nI Electric switches, relay switches, rheostat\nboxes, and accelerator resistors\n2.

Boucher, Photographer, HABS/HAER Office\nHarpers Ferry was only a wilderness in the early 1700s, situated on a point of land at the confluence of the\nShenandoah and Potomac rivers and dominated by the Blue Ridge Mountains in West Virginia. The first\nEuropean settler on this land was Peters Stephens, a trader, who arrived in 1733 and set up a primitive ferry\nservice at the junction of the two rivers. Fourteen years later, Robert Harper, a millwright and the man for\nwhom the town is named, settled there and took over Stephens' ferry operation. By the mid-nineteenth\ncentury, Harpers Ferry had developed from a tiny village to become an important industrial and arms-\nproducing center, as well as a transportation link between the East and West. The arrival of the Chesapeake\nand Ohio Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in the 1830s assured Harpers Ferry of its economic\nsuccess.\nHowever, in October 1859, John Brown's raid broke the tranquility of this peaceful community and the\neighteen-month civil war that followed wreaked havoc on the town's economy. The armory, built by\nCongress in the 1790s at the urging of President George Washington, and arsenals were burned in 1861 to\nkeep them from falling into Confederate hands. Because of the town's geographic location and its railway\nsystem, both Union and Confederate troops travelled through or occupied the town intermittently throughout\nthe war. The largest military operation against Harpers Ferry occurred when General Thomas J. \"Stonewall\"\nJackson's Confederate troops seized the town and captured Colonel Dixon Miles' 12,000-man Union garrison--\nthe largest surrender of U.S. troops during the Civil War. Many townspeople moved away, discouraged by\ncontinual war damage and the lack of employment. After the war, some returned, hoping to begin life anew\nand to revive the economy of the town. In the late 1800s, chances for economic recovery were destroyed with\na series of devastating floods. For years, buildings remained empty, and the once-thriving industrial sites\nwere reclaimed by nature.\nThe 1992 HABS team prepared measured drawings of the Frederick A. Roeder Store, the Frederick Roeder\nHouse, White Hall Tavern, and the Armorer's Dwelling in Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. These\nstructures were previously documented by HABS in the late 1950s and early 1960s, but have undergone\nnumerous restorations and renovations since. The team recorded these buildings with greater precision, using\nmore accurate field techniques and up-to-date standards to show the structures as they presently stand. The\nbuildings were also re-photographed by Jack E. Boucher, duplicating views that he had originally produced\nin 1958 and 1962. All new material will be transmitted to the Library of Congress as addenda to earlier\nrecords in the collection.\n90\n.if\nor\n:\nKITCHEN\n13.8019.5\nr\nr\nIt's\n18.02\"\nON\nr.\n14'40' 19.5\"\nROOM\n7\nRUNS or ADDITION BULT CJ832-1852\nDESTROYED OR REMOVED BY FLOOD,\nPROBABLY IN 1936\ninto\n\"I\n=\n\"i\n|\n20\nFIRST FLOOR PLAN\nSCALE\nSECOND FLOOR PLAN\nTHIRD/ATTIC FLOOR PLAN\nD\nFEET 1/4\"+1'-0\"\n3\nMETERS\nArmorer's Dwelling House.

The Frank Wallace House\nwas built in 1915 for Frank Gates Wallace, brother of Bess Wallace Truman. The house is located at 601\nWest Truman Road, adjacent to the Truman home, as part of the family compound. The small bungalow of\nwood frame construction, clad in wood shingles, is typical of the neighborhood. The modest structure is\nenhanced with many typical twentieth century detalls: hardwood floors, wood baseboards, a brick fireplace,\ndecorative wood ceiling beams in the living and dining rooms, 3-over-1 double-hung windows, and locally-\nmade brass hardware. The original rear porch was remodeled as an extension to the kitchen.\nThe George Wallace house was built in 1916 for George Porterfield Wallace, another brother of Bess Truman.\nIt is located at 60 West Truman Road, adjacent to the Truman Home. The structure, a small bungalow, is\nalso of wood frame construction, clad in wood shingles. The structure includes a 1920s bedroom and\nbathroom addition and is enhanced with many typical twentieth century details: hardwood floors, wood\nbaseboards, a brick fireplace with built-in bookcases, decorative wood ceiling beams in the living room, 9-\nover-1 double-hung windows, and locally-made brass hardware.\nThe Noland/Haukenberry house was built in the mid-nineteenth century and purchased in 1908 by Joseph\nTilford Noland and Margaret Ellen Truman Noland, aunt and uncle of Harry S Truman. It was later owned\nby their granddaughter, Ardis Ragland Haukenberry. The house is located at 216 North Delaware Street,\ndirectly across from the Truman home. The two-story Victorian house, of wood-frame construction with\nclapboard siding, has been expanded over the years. The original section of the house is a two-story structure\nwith a gable roof and an L-shaped front porch with a spindle frieze. A two-story rear addition was built in\n1920, and later additions include a one-story rear kitchen wing and an enclosed south-facing porch. The house\nis enhanced with hardwood floors, wood baseboards, ornate hardware, and a number of colored glass\nwindows.\nThese properties were recently acquired by the National Park Service as part of an historic district adjacent\nto the home occupied by the Trumans during his presidency. The Wallace houses are early twentieth-century\nbungalows of the type found throughout the Midwest and the West, and the Noland-Haukenberry is a late\nnineteenth-century Victorian. Creating graphic documentation was especially critical for Noland-Haukenberry\n-- planned as future curatorial office space because of its weakened structural and material condition. The\nWallace houses will be upgraded for use as Park Service housing.\n92\nCHIMNEY\n29-8 3/4\"\nRIDGE\n26'-91/4°\nEAVE\n19'-0 1/2\"\nSECOND FLOOR\n10'-3 1/2\"\nEAVE\n90\n9-51/4*\nXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\nXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\nE\n®\nC.O.\n0\nFIRST FLOOR\n0'-0\"\nFASCIA\n-\n0-6\"\nGRADE\nE\n2-51/2*\nMATERIALS\nFOUNDATION BRICK\nWALLS\nWOOD CLAPBOARDS\nROOF\nASPHALT SHINGLES\nFRONT DOOR\nINTERIOR HARDWARE\nEAST ELEVATION\n1.4\n©\nFEET\nMETERS 48\n0\n2\n3\n-\nFULL SCALE\nFEET\n50\n00\nCENTIMETERS 112\nNoland/Haukenberry House.

Boucher, HABS Washington Office\nAerial Photography/Mapping: Air Survey Corporation of Sterling, Virginia\nDuring this second and last year of the pilot project to document Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, an\nexpanded team of historians and delineators prepared comprehensive written and graphic materials that will\nfulfill two planned goals, to help establish HABS/HAER guidelines for recording such a site, and to provide\nbaseline information for park managers. The project as a whole falls under the aegis of HABS, which\nassessed the overall landscape and two adjacent service stations, while ten vehicular and pedestrian bridges\nare cataloged as HAER sites. This parkway--also designated Reservation No. 360 in the system of National\nCapital parks--was selected as the model for study because of its uncontested historic significance, integrity,\nsize, and proximity to the HABS/HAER Washington office. The documentation was timed to conclude before\nthe NPS initiates rehabilitation, which is slated to begin in 1996.\nThe methodology for drawing the parkway and its features was new for the division. As no complete set of\nas-is drawings were available, about 25 percent of the project budget was spent on aerial photography and\ndigitized mapping. Produced at a generous scale of 1\"=40', depicted are l' contours, individual trees with\ncanopy and trunk, the creek, bridge crossings, and more. The plans were redrawn by the summer team on\n34\" X 44\" mylar--fourteen sheets for the entire 2.5-mile parkway, from the Lincoln Memorial to the National\nZoo tunnel. An overlay system using pin-bar registration permitted the vegetation to be drawn on separate\nsheets. In addition, bridge elevations and landscape sections were made; there are forty-nine sheets in all.\nThe historians produced a comprehensive overview of the parkway from pre-construction to present day, as\nwell as individual reports on related bridges and filling stations. Photography - from roadside and air --\ncapture the parkway and its features from all angles.\n100\nBRIDGES OF ROCK CREEK AND POTOMAC PARKWAY, 1897-1964\nCALVERT STREET\nBROGE\nXIV\nFEET 20\n8\n50\nTAFT\nXIII\nMEMORIAL BRIDGE\nMASSACHUSETTS\nX1\nMETERS 240\nAVENUE BRIDGE\n16\nSTREET BRIDGE\nIX\nSTREET BRIDGE\nvin\nSTREET BRIDGE\nCURRENT GROUND\nVI\nALIGNMENT\nPENNSYLVANIA\nPARKWAY\nAVENUE BRIDGE\nHISTORIC GROUND\nK STREET BRIDGE\nALIGNMENT\nWHITEHURST FREEWAY\nROCK CREEK\nBROGE RAMP 3\nLEGEND\n150\n306\nNOTE BRIDGE DRAWINGS AND DIMENSIONS ARE\nMASSACHUSETTS AVENUE BRIDGE, 1939-41\nBASED ON ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEER\nBRIDGE LOCATION KEY\nING DRAWINGS SOURCE NATIONAL ARCHIVES\nHAER No DC-22\nALL DRAWINGS ARE SOUTH ELEVATION VIEWS\nCATHEDRAL AVE\nROCK CREEK AND POTOMAC PARKWAY\nPARKWAY\n82\n150\nTOTAL LENGTH 1341\nWILLIAM H.

Eve, Historian, Ironbridge Institute, United Kingdom [ICOMOS]\nLee Ann Jackson, Architecture Technician, Auburn University\nBald Mountain was one of two projects conducted during summer 1992 under HAER's Hard Rock Mining\nInitiative. This initiative was launched at the Hard Rock Mining Workshop held in Death Valley National\nMonument in January 1989. Since then, HAER has focused one of its documentation arms on historic gold\nmining and other hard-rock mining resources. Aside from the work done in Joshua Tree National Monument,\nthis particular project was the first venture cosponsored by the mining industry since the initiative was\nlaunched. The Bald Mountain Gold Mill is located in the gold fields of the Black Hills of South Dakota, on\nlands owned by Wharf Resources, a Canadian mining group.\nIn addition to histories and photographs, the team produced a series of process drawings that explain the\ncounter current decantation process for refining gold and other precious metals. This was particularly\nchallenging, as much of the mill had collapsed. However, enough of it remained that the combination of\nruins, original drawings, and eyewitness accounts by the last mill manager allowed the team to recreate the\nprocess on mylar.\nCounterclockwise, [top] Virginia Brumback, Robert Grzywacz,\nAlbert Aflenzer, Lee Ann Jackson, David Eve, and Joseph Elliott\npose on the Bald Mountain Gold Mill.\nPhotographer, Joseph Elliott, 1992\n102\n.\n19\nLEACHING\nBALO MOUNTAIN MEVADA MINING BULCH, AT THE COMPANY BALD BOTTOM MOUNTAIN CREEN GOLO MILL - 1907-1942\nLAWRENCE 8 OF FALLE COUNTY\nMILLING\n10000\nSCALE 1/\"=1\"-0\"\nLEAD\nMILL AXONOMETRIC\nPRECIPITATION\nNORTHERN SECTOR\nBALD MOUNTAIN\n1942\nALBERT -ALBERT AFLENZER 1992\nBALD MOUNTAIN GOLD MILL RECORDING PROJECT\n.\nBald Mountain Mining Company: Bald Mountain Gold Mill - 1907-1942.

Lawrence, Historian, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign\nThe team documented twelve cast and wrought-iron metal-truss bridges within Ohio that are representative\nof an important phase in the history of bridge engineering in the United States in general, and in the state in\nparticular. The replacement of wood with iron in such structures during the nineteenth century was one of\nthe first significant results of the Industrial Revolution.\nThe architects measured and produced record drawings on three of the bridges. A historian conducted\nresearch on the structures, relying on documents compiled by David Simmons of the Ohio Historical Society.\nLarge format photographs were produced of all twelve bridges.\nUpgrading the nation's highway infrastructure has accelerated the risk to historic bridges of all types, but the\nrarest is the composite cast and wrought-iron. Of the hundreds built between 1840-80, only sixty-four\nsurvive. To mitigate the threat to these engineering resources, Emory Kemp of the Institute for the History\nof Technology and Industrial Archaeology at West Virginia University and HAER Chief Eric DeLony initiated\na concerted program to document the survivors. Ohio was a major center for bridge fabrication during this\nperiod and, as a consequence, has a remarkable number of these types of bridges extant.\nn\nthe HAER team in Ohio proved to be a real winner this summer. The drawings look great and Mike's histories show much\nthought and in-depth research.\nDavid A.

The date was July 13, 1895, and the distance was twenty-two miles\nfrom Folsom to the city of Sacramento. The ultimate goal of this project was to deliver electricity by way\nof high-tension transmission lines at low cost to the industries and residential neighborhoods around San\nFrancisco, Oakland, and the Bay area. Now a California state park, Folsom Powerhouse was the flagship of\nPacific Gas and Electric, a major public utility of the Golden State, and is a designated national historic\nlandmark, a historic mechanical engineering landmark, and a national historic civil engineering landmark.\nPart one of this two-summer project consisted of locating and copying primary source materials, such as\ndrawings, photographs, plant and equipment inventories, original reports, specifications and correspondence\npertaining to planning, construction, development and operation of this hydroelectric complex. Accompanying\nthis information is a twenty to thirty-page annotated bibliography on Folsom and early hydroelectric\ndevelopment. In addition, recommendations for future research will be included. This initial phase of the\nproject also encompasses large format photography of Folsom. As a result of findings during phase one and,\npending the availability of funding, the second summer will produce a complete documentation package\nconsisting of measured and interpretive drawings, historical reports, and large format photographs.\n106\nExciter (foreground) and generator (top of picture), Folsom Power House.

Kiernat, Architecture Technician, Arizona State University\nLester Ross, Historical Archeologist, San Bernardino County Museum, California\nKarl W. Stumpf, Architect, Falls Church, Virginia\nRichard Vidutis, Historian, Takoma Park, Maryland\nThe Lost Horse Gold Mill was documented under HAER's Hard Rock Mining Initiative because it is a prime\ninterpretive site of turn-of-the-century gold-mining practices in the southern California deserts. It is significant\nbecause of the efficiency of its operation and is one of the few surviving ten-stamp gold mills in the United\nStates. Its location, directly over the mine shaft, negated the need for transporting ore to a central collection\npoint for processing and cut down markedly on operating costs, while increasing productivity and profit. Last\nsummer, HAER documented the Wall Street Mill and the Pinto Wye Arrastra.\nSince 25 percent of the mining complex is still standing, the team reconstructed the site on mylar through field\nmeasurements, archival research, and interviews with local informants knowledgeable of the Lost Horse Gold\nMine. The architects produced twelve sheets of measured and interpretive drawings. The historian's\ndocumentary research and interviews aided the architects in their reconstruction of the Lost Horse milling\noperation.\nBecause of the significance of archeological features in understanding and interpreting western mining sites,\na fourth component of archeology was included, supplementing traditional HAER drawings, photographs, and\nhistories. HAER drawings were annotated to include archeological features. Archeological reports were\nincluded as part of the written documentation.\nDocumentation of the Lost Horse Gold Mill, and the Wall Street Mill and Pinto Wye Arrastra accomplished\nin 1991, developed a considerable interest in early gold mining in Southern California. Tom Mulhern,\nassociate regional director for Park Historic Preservation, NPS Western Regional Office, currently plans to\npublish the work of these teams.

The Merritt is one link in a much longer arterial \"express through-route\" that begins in New York\nCity and continues across Connecticut's Housatonic River as the Wilber Cross Parkway. It was singularly\ncreated to ease congestion on the Boston Post Road/U.S. Route 1, and in doing so opened up Fairfield County\nfor suburbanization. Architect George Dunkelberger (1891-1960) designed every bridge exterior, service\nstation, and toll plaza for the Merritt, as architect with the Connecticut Highway Department's Bureau of\nEngineering and Construction. Most notable are the dozens of Art Moderne and Art Deco bridges with\nexaggerated pylons, intricate sgraffito, and metal detailing. All built between 1935-40, the bridges define the\nMerritt as the nation's only non-rustic-style parkway. The project was sponsored by Connecticut Department\nof Transportation and Federal Highway Administration officials in anticipation of preparing a preservation plan\nfor the parkway, and ultimately restoring its landscape and bridges. The multi-disciplinary team of architects,\nlandscape architects, historians, and an engineer prepared comprehensive written and graphic information,\nincluding an extensive historical overview, ca. seventy individual bridge and building reports, and twenty-one\nsheets of drawings depicting the highly ornamental bridges and landscape features, and several hundred\ncontemporary and historic photographs.\n\"I would like to commend Ms. Sara Leach and the rest of the (HABS/HAER) study team for the outstanding job\ndone on the historic documentation of the Merritt Parkway. I have always appreciated the beauty and unique\ncharacter of the Merritt Parkway. This appreciation has been greatly enhanced by the information the HABS/HAER\nstudy has presented. I have also observed that since the staff of the Connecticut Department of Transportation has\nreviewed the HABS/HAER information on the Merritt Parkway, they have undertaken the necessary transportation\nimprovements to this facility in a much more sensitive manner and with an enlightened appreciation of its signi-\nficance.\nThe work of HABS/HAER has helped clarify this focus on the bridges and the landscape, and will\ncontinue to aid our efforts in these areas. I believe that the progress the Department has made in dealing with the\nsensitive issues associated with the Merritt Parkway has been significantly enhanced by the work of the HABS/HAER\nteam.\"\n--Emil H.

Quin, Historian, Middle Tennessee State University\nDaniella Trettel, Architect, National University of Cordoba, Argentina [ICOMOS]\nThe multi-year National Park Service Roads and Bridges Recording Project continued in 1992 with the\ndocumentation of Mount Rainier National Park's road system. This year the team studied the development\nof road and bridge construction from the first wagon road to the present, with a particular interest in road\nlandscapes. In 1891, James Longmire, first settler of the area, constructed a rough wagon road to Longmire\nSprings, known for its healing mineral waters. Mount Rainier National Park was established in 1899, and\nsoon after, the Army Corps of Engineers was commissioned to survey, design and construct the first\ngovernment road into the wilderness. The Corps' \"Road to Paradise,\" built across mountainous terrain, was\nhailed as the first road in America to reach a glacier and provided access to the bounty of wildflowers in the\nsubalpine meadows.\nWith the establishment of the National Park Service in 1916, new road proposals were surveyed and\nconstructed to satisfy the demand for access. The Park Service adopted a \"lay lightly on the land\" policy and\nestablished the rustic style of park design, using native stones, logs and other indigenous materials to\nharmonize with natural landscape. In 1925, the NPS and the Bureau of Public Roads (BPR) reached an\nagreement that shifted design and construction to BPR management. Today, many fine examples of historic\nbridges and other related structures remain in use, though threatened by safety codes, traffic increases, and\nthe harsh glacial environment of Mount Rainier. In addition to standard HAER documentation, an illustrated\ninterpretive brochure was produced for distribution to the visitors of Mount Rainier National Park.\n\"I was very impressed by the accomplishments and professionalism of these young people\nHopefully, the devotion expressed\nby the team has fostered an appreciation that will be reflected in future design and construction technologies that integrate design\ncomponents into the whole landscape with as much success as the original designers achieved.\nThe efforts of the HAER\nteam are extremely timely, as the park administration prepares Mount Rainier National Park to enter its second century, which\nbegins on March 2, 1999. The documentation of the historic bridges and road-related structures through measured and\ninterpretive drawings, large-format photographs, and written data will be extremely beneficial for us in this endeavor.\nWilliam J.

Bodensiek, Architect, Roger Williams College, Sally Kress Tompkins\nMaritime Intern\nMolly J. Horvath, Curator, Spring Point Museum\nDavid C. Switzer, SNOW SQUALL Project Director\nThe clipper ship SNOW SQUALL was the third of four vessels built by Cornelius Butler at his yard on\nTurner's Island in Cape Elizabeth (now South Portland), Maine. It was launched into the Fore River on July\n14, 1851, and for thirteen years flew the flag of New York merchant Charles R. Green in the Pacific and\nSouth American trades, carrying general cargoes out and bringing tea, spices and coffee in. On her final\nvoyage in 1864, bound from New York to San Francisco, she ran aground in the Straits of LeMaire near Cape\nHorn, and was sailed to Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands, where she was condemned and abandoned after\ntransshipment of her cargo and sale of her gear.\nSNOW SQUALL lay as a hulk at the Falkland Islands Company jetty for more than a century, subject to harm\nby natural and human causes. Photographs taken ca. 1880 reveal wood stripped from her upper hull for use\nas building material. Storms and rot caused further damage, tons of stone jetty blocks shattered and covered\nher midsection, and a sinking barge crushed her stern. By the mid 1980s, the only intact accessible remains\nof this ship consisted of her bow, from the keel up to 'tweendeck level. Four archeological expeditions,\nsponsored by Harvard University's Peabody Museum of Archeology and Ethnology, achieved preliminary\ndocumentation of SNOW SQUALL's bow between 1982 and 1986, recovering all above-water structural\nmembers. In 1987, the final expedition conducted by Spring Point Museum retrieved the bow's 36'-long\nunderwater section.\nSNOW SQUALL's bow survives today as the sole remaining example of the hundreds of American-built\nclipper ships that made record-setting voyages carrying goods and passengers to and from Gold Rush-era\nCalifornia, Australia, and the Far East. A clipper was very narrow in proportion to length, with a sharp\nhollow bow; it was square-rigged, typically with an enormous spread of canvas. Vessels of this type\ndeveloped in the 1840s were designed for speed rather than large cargo capacity in a boom time of high\nfreight rates. By the late 1850s, economic conditions favored slower ships of greater cargo capacity and\nsmaller crews, so clipper construction was abandoned.\nThis HAER project produced measured drawings, a written historical report and large-format photographs of\nthe bow.\n114\nHAER PROJECTS\nTop to bottom, HAER architect Dale Waldron and HAER intern Karl Bodensiek assist SNOW SQUALL project director\nDavid Switzer in attaching station lines to the bow section of the clipper ship in preparation for their measurement\nof the curvature of the hull's starboard side.

We meet for\nan oversight hearing on the Historic American Building Survey,\nHABS, and the Historic American Engineering Record, HAER.\nAmerica has a long and rich architectural heritage in historic\nbuildings and engineering structures which still remain as evi-\ndence of how earlier Americans lived, worked, and worshipped.\nSince the establishment of HABS in 1933 and HAER in 1969, sur-\nveys have been completed and documentation has been recorded on\nmore than 27,000 structures all of which are now in the Library of\nCongress for research and are accessible to the American public.\nBecause of their holistic approach and extraordinary vision,\nthese programs have brought about an increased awareness of pres-\nervation needs and preservation technology. In the initial memo-\nrandum from Charles Peterson, architect with the National Park\nService, to his superiors, he stated that such a survey, \"should be a\nlist of building sites which include public buildings, churches, resi-\ndences, bridges, forts, barns, mills, shops, rural outbuildings, and\nany other kind of structure of which there are good specimen\nextant and those structures which by fate or accident are identified\nwith historic events.\"\nHABS operates under congressional authorization and a tripar-\ntite agreement among the Department of Interior, the Library of\nCongress, and the American Institute of Architects. HAER oper-\nates under an agreement between Interior, the Library of Congress,\nand the American Society of Civil Engineers.

The AIA testified earlier this year\nbefore the House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee that this\nmoney should be augmented with the $1 million for emergency and\nhigh priority recording projects, for a total of $3.1 million.\nThe AIA also believes that the HABS Advisory Board, as out-\nlined in the Tripartite Agreement, should be reestablished. The\nCarter Administration saw fit to reorganize the Federal preserva-\ntion programs and, in effect, abolished the HABS Advisory Board.\nIt had consisted of 11 noncompensated representatives of the three\norganizations as well as nationally competent experts to set policy\nand guide HABS' effort.\nThe AIA is currently discussing various options with Secretary\nStatement of\nLujan's office and hope that he will take action soon.

The Society's goals are to develop engineers who will im-\nprove technology and apply it to further the objectives of society as\na whole, to promote the dedication and technical capability of its\nmembers, and to advance the profession of civil engineering.\nIn addition to my responsibilities with ASCE, I currently serve as\nChief of the Materials Testing Laboratory here at the Philadelphia\nWater Department. I brought along with me today Edward Ku-\nchefski, who is the Director of the Fairmount Water Works Inter-\npretive Center for the Philadelphia Water Department, as he\nwould have an interest in the hearing today.\nASCE has a deep and longstanding interest in the Historic Amer-\nican Engineering Record. America's vast size, plentiful natural re-\nsources and regional differences have contributed to the nation's\nrich and diverse history of technical invention and innovation. His-\ntorical structures not only testify to the creativity and imagination\nof America's engineers and builders, but also illustrate the nation's\nphysical development and document its technological heritage.\nThe Historical American Engineering Record was established in\n1969 by an agreement among the Department of the Interior, the\nLibrary of Congress, and ASCE. This accord, also known as the tri-\npartite agreement, was later ratified by four other engineering so-\ncieties: the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Insti-\ntute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the American Institute\nof Chemical Engineers, and the American Institute of Mining, Met-\nallurgical and Petroleum Engineers.\nUnder the tripartite agreement, the Interior Department's Na-\ntional Park Service administers the HAER program with funds ap-\npropriated by Congress and supplemented by donations from out-\nside sources. The National Park Service sets qualitative standards,\norganizes and staffs recording projects, and selects sites for docu-\nmentation. The Library of Congress curates the records, makes\nthem available for study, and provides reproductions to the public.\nASCE and other engineering societies provide professional counsel\nthrough their national memberships.\nHAER performs a valuable role by documenting the nation's his-\ntoric industrial and engineering heritage. HAER surveys and docu-\nments America's historic industrial, engineering, and transporta-\ntion resources, and records the working and living conditions of the\n18\n19\npeople associated with them. HAER conducts a nationwide pro-\ngram of documentation in cooperation with state and local govern-\nments, private industry, professional societies, universities, and\nASCE\nAMERICAN SOCIETY OF\npreservation groups, as well as other Federal agencies.\nCIVIL ENGINEERS\nRecognizing that many significant technological resources cannot\nWashington Ollice\nbe saved, HAER documents the historic structures and objects\n1015 15th Street, N.W., Suite 600\nthrough measured and interpretive drawings, large-format photo-\nWashington, D.C. 20005\n(202) 789-2200\ngraphs, and written data.

These records are\nin the form of over 49,000 original measured drawings, 145,000\nlarge format photographs, and over 96,000 pages of written archi-\ntectural and historical information, in addition to field documenta-\ntion and service copies.\nToday these collections are counted among the Library's best\n- 4 -\nknown and most widely used and disseminated. Over 100 libraries\nand archives, both in this country and abroad, now have copies of\nthese materials in their collections. These records have provided\nthe basis for countless publications, exhibitions, and special studies;\nfor the analysis, appreciation, repair, restoration, and even rebuild-\ning of the nation's heritage of historic sites and structures; and as\nsource materials for almost four generations of students, scholars,\nand professionals in architecture, engineering, design, historic pres-\nervation, history, genealogy, and many other subjects.\nFrom their inception, both the Historic American Building\nSurvey and the Historic American Engineering Record have oper-\nated under tripartite agreements among the Department of the In-\n24\n25\nterior, the Library of Congress, and the organizations representing\nthe professions of architecture and engineering.

The boards further provided a long-term model of\ncooperation between the public and private sectors and insured balanced oversight\nand direction of the activities of both programs.

In closing my remarks\nbefore you today, it is appropriate to quote from that document, which so clearly\nstated their mission:\n29\n28\nThank you again for asking me to participate in your hearing on this subject of\nconcern to the Library of Congress.\nTHE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS\nWASHINGTON. DC. 20540\nSincerely,\nJuly The James Librarian H. Billington of Congress\nMay 8, 1992\nThe Honorable Peter H. Kostmayer\nChairman\nSubcommittee on Energy and Environment\nCommittee on Interior and Insular Affairs\nDear Mr. Chairman:\nU.S. House of Representatives\nWashington, D. C. 20515-6201\nI appreciate your invitation to present testimony at the oversight hearing to\nexamine the Issues surrounding the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and the\nHistoric American Engineering Record (HAER). I regret that prior commitments prevent my\nattendance. C. Ford Peatross, Curator of Architecture, Design, and Engineering Collections\nin our Prints and Photographs Division, will state the position of the Library of Congress in\nmy stead.\nThe Library of Congress helped to initiate both of these excellent programs\nand remains responsible for the preservation, organization, and service to the public of the\ndocumentation which they produce. Since the first HABS records arrived at the Library of\nCongress in 1934, these collections have grown to be among our largest and most widely\nknown and used. Today, thousands of historic sites and structures throughout the nation bear\nbronze plaques stating that their HABS or HAER documentation in preserved in the Library\nof Congress.\nThe Library is proud of this achievement and takes seriously its responsibilities\nas a party to the tripartite agreements under which the Historic American Buildings Survey\nand the Historic American Engineering Record operate. It is in this light that I support the\nreactivation of the two advisory boards which serve as the principal mechanisms for the\nproper functioning of these agreements and as outstanding models of the benefits of\ncooperation between both government agencies and the public and private sectors.\nIn addition, I would like to recommend that you consider the possibility of\nmaking available 10 these programs the resources necessary to allow emergency recording of\nendangered historic sites or structures, a long-standing need.\n31\nMr. Kostmayer. Thank you very much. Ms. Maxman, let me ask\nyou about this documentation which is collected. Since I am not an\nMr. BOWERS. The request is with the Department right now.\narchitect or an engineer, it wouldn't mean anything to me or to\nMr. Kostmayer. Well, I know that.\nthose of us who are not architects or engineers. Is that right?\nMr. Bowers. Yes. And we are waiting for the Department to\nMs. MAXMAN. Would it not mean anything?\nreview it. I think you have seen some of the correspondence that\nMr. Kostmayer. It would not mean anything. It is simply a col-\nhas come to the Department.\nlection of drawings, surveys. It wouldn't mean anything unless you\nMr. Kostmayer. When was the request first made of the Depart-\nwere an architect or an engineer. Is that right?\nment that the Board be reestablished?\nMs. Maxman. I don't think that is true.\nMr. BOWERS. If I am not mistaken, in December.\nMr. Kostmayer. Okay. Why is it not true?\nMr. Kostmayer. December of 1991?\nMs. Maxman. I think that anyone can benefit. Often, it is the\nMr. BOWERS. 1991.

And when will you have an answer for us?\nchitects, engineers, and lay people can learn so much from the\nMr. BOWERS. I would like to say immediately, but I think the De-\ndrawings, their elevations and things that are very easy to under-\npartment will probably take some time in taking a look at it. The\nstand and that really show what our history was. And, certainly, ar-\nDepartment of the Interior has the second-highest number of advi-\nchitecture does always reflect our culture, and so we think it is\nsory boards of any Federal department, and they are under pres-\nreally incredibly important. Obviously, it is a wonderful tool for ar-\nsure to reduce that number and not to add any new ones, although\nchitects and engineers but as well for lay people too.\nthis would be reinstituting an old one. So they will be taking time\nMr. KOSTMAYER. But do you think it has some use beyond use to\nto look at it to, I think, weigh the benefits of reestablishing against\narchitects and to engineers who would understand it?\nwhat the costs might be.\nMs. Maxman. Absolutely. In terms of documenting what a struc-\nMr. Kostmayer. What would the cost be?\nture looks like and if it is going to be destroyed, certainly, then you\nMr. Bowers.

So you have to pay for travel.\nfinancially if it is reestablished with the kinds of costs that you\nMr. BOWERS. Support costs.\nmentioned?

Well, I think that initially I am not quite certain\nvisiting various\nof the cost. The members, obviously, are not compensated for their\nMr. BOWERS. It is a combination. The cost also includes the\ntime; that is all volunteer.\nsalary that goes to staff to handle support of the advisory board.\nMr. Kostmayer. Right.\nMr. Kostmayer. Do you have an estimate on what the cost would\nMs. Maxman. So the AIA would certainly contribute to that. In\nbe?\nterms of the management of that committee, I am not sure what\nMr. Bowers. I do not have one, but we could certainly work one\ncosts are involved, but I think AIA does feel very strongly about it\nup for you and submit it for the record.\nand would certainly look to carry its share of support as it has\nMr. Kostmayer.
