WHAT IS THE HABS/HAER REVIEW?
The 1993 HABS/HAER Review is intended to provide HABS/HAER's constituency with information
pertaining to the Division's effectiveness during the fiscal year ending September 30, 1993. The Review
is designed not only to report what the organization has produced (see 1993 HABS/HAER Recording
Projects pp. 49-74, Collections Management Program pp. 77-78 and HABS/HAER In the Public Eye pp.
35-47) but also is meant to highlight the events that made fiscal year 1993 distinct (see Activities In
Review pp. 17-34) and to feature the HABS/HAER staff, who make many, many contributions to the
success of HABS/HAER and to their respective fields (see People of HABS/HAER pp. 13-16, and Honors
and Awards pp. 1-11).
WHO CONTRIBUTED TO IT?
The 1993 HABS/HAER Review is a compilation of articles and briefs written by HABS/HAER staff
members. While contributions are primarily from Washington Office personnel, a few have come from
project leaders and employees of the HABS/HAER Summer Program. To all who added to the Review's
content in 1993 -- Thank you.
SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Individual recognition is allotted to Jean Yearby, HABS/HAER Publications Specialist, and to Brian
Cary, HABS/HAER Collections Management Architect, and Brian Berkley, HABS/HAER Collections
Management Intern. Ms. Yearby compiled the precursors of the Review, the HABS Newsletter (1982)
and HABS/HAER Annual Reports (1983-1992), and worked on this publication during its initial stages
in tandem with Mr. Cary, who accepted responsibility for coordinating the layout and publication of the
1993 HABS/HAER Review. Mr. Berkley, a graduate student from West Virginia University's Public
History Program, proved essential in the final stages of the 1993 HABS/HAER Review, as he assisted Mr.
Cary in editing and formatting.
Acknowledgments also are given to Robert J. Kapsch, Ph.D., HABS/HAER Chief, and John A. Burns,
AIA, HABS/HAER Deputy Chief, for their detailed recommendations and refined vision for this annual
publication.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF
Robert J. Kapsch, Ph.D.
Fiscal Year 1993 was quite a year for HABS/HAER. The highlights were:
Economic Stimulus Bill Proposed
The new Clinton Administration came to Washington with a commitment to get the economy moving
again. This translated into the Economic Stimulus Supplemental Appropriation for Fiscal Year 1993 --
"Rebuild America." We at HABS/HAER saw it as an opportunity for not only providing jobs but for
documenting historic structures that for decades we haven't had funds to document. HABS/HAER
developed approximately thirty projects that were to be funded through $1.5 million under this
appropriation. The appropriation was contested by the Republicans and on April 20th I went to bed after
hearing that the Senate Republican caucus was going to contest the package but they were going to let
the summer jobs portion through. The next morning I woke up to the news that the entire package had
gone down to defeat late the previous night. This is detailed in Appendix B, pages 87-92.
Impact of Defeated Stimulus Bill
HABS/HAER had invested $200,000 in staff time in the development of projects for "Rebuild America."
In retrospect, that time would have been better utilized in developing other outside funded projects.
Although the HABS/HAER staff rebounded quickly from the defeat of the Président's initiative, overall
levels of documentation dropped - the first time in some twelve years that a HABS/HAER recording year
had a lower level of recording than the previous year.
Increased Base Appropriation
Not all news was bad. During the Fiscal Year 1993, the new president included all HABS/HAER
Congressional add-ons into the base appropriation. Congress concurred. The total effect was to almost
double the HABS/HAER base appropriation. Details are shown on page 17.
CAD/Photogrammetry Capabilities Expanded
Despite chronic underfunding in the area of equipment, HABS/HAER has been able to continue to expand
its CAD/Photogrammetry capability. This capability has placed HABS/HAER on the cutting edge of
technology and has permitted HABS/HAER to document structures that would not have been documented
otherwise. Details on pages 18-19.
New NPS Director Roger Kennedy
In 1993 we received a new Director of the National Park Service, and one that writes books about
architecture and uses HABS drawings.
HABS 60th Anniversary
In 1993 we celebrated HABS 60th anniversary -- the oldest Federal preservation program. Details on
pages 35-36. Next year we celebrate HAER's 25th anniversary.
Finally, in 1993 we produced a lot of quality documentation, publications and other materials. We invite
you to peruse the HABS/HAER Review Robert Japrech for these accomplishments

HONORS AND AWARDS
HABS/HAER HONORED
HAER Historic Bridge Program A Winner
On December 4, 1992, the Architect of the Capitol, the Honorable George M. White, FAIA, presented the Nation's
top historic preservation honors to eighteen projects and programs nationwide; among them, the Historic American
Engineering Record's Historic Bridge Program. Eric DeLony, Chief, HAER received a President's Historic
Preservation Award for excellence in privately funded historic preservation. "These awards are the foremost
historic preservation honors the Nation has to offer," Advisory Council Chairman Dr. John C. Harper commented.
"They represent a direct commendation from the President."
In addition to Mr. DeLony, project credits were also extended to Neil FitzSimons, American Society of Civil
Engineers; John Gingles, National Park Service Roads and Bridges Program; Emory L. Kemp, Institute for the
History of Technology and Industrial Archeology; and Abba Lichtenstein, PE, A.G. Lichtenstein and Associates,
engineers. Federal Credits were extended to Manuel Lujan, Jr., Secretary of the Interior; James M. Ridenour,
National Park Service; and Robert J. Kapsch, HABS/HAER Chief.
Jury comment: "Before the Historic American Engineering Record began its program, the
prefabricated metal truss bridge was threatened with extinction. Since that time more than 700
such bridges have been documented through HAER measured drawings, photographs, and text,
and the information deposited in the Library of Congress. An important part of America's built
heritage has been preserved as a result; HAER has set a high standard for other Federal
preservation programs."
HABS/HAER Video Nationally Recognized
America on Record: The Work of HABS/HAER, the expanded, twenty-five minute, PBS standard video produced
by Cary Goldweber of the National Association of Home Builders for HABS/HAER, was entered into the Spring
1993 CINE Golden Eagle Film and Video Competition. CINE is the Council on International Nontheatrical Events;
their competition is one of the preeminent showcases for documentary and live short feature films and videos.
Winning a CINE Golden Eagle in one of those categories has been a prerequisite for nomination for an Academy
Award. The HABS/HAER video made it to the stage two level of the competition, something of an accomplishment
in itself, but did not win a Golden Eagle. One juror commented that it was a "good representation of U.S.
preservation effort,." Another juror said, "Well done film, most people would enjoy. It is nice to know this type
of work is being done to save or record our history."
Because of the CINE Competition, America on Record: The Work of HABS/HAER came to the attention of the
United States Information Agency, who invited HABS/HAER to submit the video for one of their periodic
screenings. USIA selected the video for entry in general and/or specialized film and video festivals and events
abroad, for distribution to the U.S. Information Service posts abroad, and for broadcast to more than 250 cities
around the world over WORLDNET. WORLDNET provides satellite programming to American embassies,
consulates, and USIA posts overseas. In her letter to HABS/HAER, Jane A. Helms, Program Officer for USIA's
Television and Film Service, Bureau of Broadcasting, said,
On the behalf of the U.S. Information Agency, I wish to thank HABS/HAER for donating "The
Work of HABS/HAER" to the United States Information Agency for distribution to U.S.
Information Service posts abroad. As you know, I had the opportunity of previewing this excellent
film
Over the years, the National Park Service, and its many branches, has helped USIA
introduce international audiences to the beauty of America as well as its history, culture and
traditions. We are grateful to NPS for helping us promote America abroad.

HONORS AND AWARDS
Department of Interior Meritorious Service Medal Recipient
On October 13, 1993, National Park Service Director Roger Kennedy presented to Robert Kapsch, HABS/HAER
Chief, the Department of Interior Meritorious Service Medal. The award consists of a silver medal with the
Department of Interior Buffalo inscribed on one side and the recipient's name and an elevation of the south facade
of the Interior Building inscribed on the reverse side. It is accompanied by a lapel pin, bearing the emblem of the
Department's buffalo, and a citation. The citation accompanying this award read (in part):
Dr. Kapsch has served as the Chief of the HABS/HAER Division since April 1980. In this
capacity, Dr. Kapsch has distinguished himself through leadership and management innovations
that resolved longstanding problems and focused the program on assisting in the preservation of
the most significant historic structures in the nation. He eliminated a longstanding backlog of
uncompleted projects and developed a major cultural resource database. He also developed a
series of publications and doubled the size of the permanent HABS/HAER Collections in the
Library of Congress. Dr. Kapsch established the first computer assisted drawing-photogrammetry
laboratory in the United States for documenting large and complex historic structures. He
undertook record numbers of documentation projects on the primary historic structures of the
National Park Service and National Historic Landmarks throughout the United States so as to
provide quality documentation to assist in the preservation of these important structures. Dr.
Kapsch has, through his leadership and management, brought HABS/HAER Program to the
forefront of architectural and engineering knowledge and research in the United States

HONORS AND AWARDS
HABS/HAER Chief Awarded Honorary Membership in AIA
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) President Susan Maxman, FAIA, announced that Robert J.
Kapsch, HABS/HAER Chief, will be awarded Honorary Membership in the AIA at the AIA's annual meeting
in Los Angeles in May 1994. Dr. Kapsch, Chief of HABS/HAER for the last fourteen years, is one of ten
individuals, and the only government employee, to be so honored by AIA. Honorary Membership in the AIA
is awarded to individuals who have significantly contributed to the profession of architecture. Dr. Kapsch was
so honored because of his dedication, support and promotion of the Historic American Buildings Survey over
the years. Honorary AIA conveys with it the right to use the title, "Hon. AIA," and to enjoy all the privileges
of membership in the American Institute of Architects.
HAER Employees Recognized
Several HAER staff members were presented special National Park Service "Fast Track" awards during the
1993 Project Leader Training Session in December. Todd A. Croteau, HAER Architect, was recognized for
his leadership of HAER's documentation of historic roads and bridges in the National Park Service system,
including his conception and design of illustrated brochures showing the results of documentation. Craig
Strong, HAER Architect, was honored for his administrative skill in organizing and supervising four
documentation teams in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1992, duties beyond his normal responsibilities at the time.
Joel Sabadasz, HAER Historian, and Christopher H. Marston, HAER Architect, were given awards in
recognition of their roles in saving HAER documentation materials from a fire that threatened the HAER
Homestead Field Office in 1992. Each of these four staff members received a monetary award and a
certificate in appreciation for their services.
In addition, Christine L. Madrid, HAER Historian, received a Special Achievement Award in May 1993,
recognizing her attention to detail and outstanding organizational and editing skills as HABS/HAER Historian.
The award noted her enthusiasm for completing transmittal of the documentation to the Library of Congress
and her contribution to the reduction of the HABS/HAER backlog of documentary materials.
HABS/HAER Chief Awarded Second Doctorate
In 1993, HABS/HAER Chief Robert J. Kapsch completed all of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree -- his
second -- from the University of Maryland in American Studies. His dissertation was entitled, "A Labor
History of the Construction and Reconstruction of The White House: 1793-1817," an exploration of the end
of the craft organizations in the United States and the beginning of what we know as the architectural
profession. The White House (at that time called the President's House) was an ideal vehicle for exploring
the existence and subsequent demise of the numerous builders' organizations that existed between the
Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 and their replacement by the modern architect/contractor system of
building. Dr. Kapsch's adviser was University of Maryland Professor Mary Sies, well-known to members
of the Vernacular Architecture Forum and other organizations. This relationship developed into several other
activities including the University of Maryland Intern program at HABS/HAER and the University of
Maryland-HABS/HAER training program, an effort that has continued for the last several years. Future joint
activities planned between HABS/HAER and Professor Mary Sies include placing the HABS/HAER database
on-line on INTERNET at the University of Maryland and developing additional training course that will
further the state of the art of historic preservation.
The University of Maryland will confer the Ph.D. on Dr. Kapsch in May of 1994. Dr. Kapsch's first Ph.D.
was from The Catholic University of America in engineering and architecture (1983). He also holds masters
degrees from the George Washington University in management and historic preservation.

HONORS AND AWARDS
HABS/HAER HONORS AND AWARDS PRESENTED
Fellows of the Historic American Buildings Survey Established
Coinciding with the sixtieth anniversary of the Historic American Buildings Survey, The HABS Foundation
announced the establishment of the "Fellows of HABS". This award recognizes individuals for sustained
contributions to HABS for fifteen or more years. The announcement of the first seven fellows occurred prior
to the HABS Sixtieth Anniversary dinner at the American Institute of Architects on November 16, 1993. They
were presented with a certificate citing outstanding service, creative energy, and commitment to high standards
for the documentation of American Architecture and a HABS Fellow lapel pin the gold letters of HABS set
on a red rectangular field with a border of green. The seven recipients of the distinction were:
Kenneth L. Anderson, AIA was employed by HABS for seventeen years. He was Principal Architect and
later Chief and was responsible for guiding and strengthening the Survey throughout most of the 1970s and
80s. Under his direction the Survey undertook many large scale National Park Service projects. In the sixty
year history of the HABS program, no other individual has initiated more HABS projects. The award was
presented posthumously. Mr. Anderson's wife, Orlean Anderson, received the honor on his behalf.
Jack E. Boucher had been a professional photographer ten years with newspaper, commercial, and
engineering/public relations experience combined with extensive personal involvement in history and
preservation when he began his HABS career in April 1958. As an architectural photographer, Mr. Boucher's
reputation is international. He has authored many books and articles on history and architectural photography,
and his HABS photographs have appeared in innumerable books and publications. He has taken more than
55,000 large format photographs for HABS which, until recently, was a figure that represented half of the
entire HABS collection. Mr. Boucher's images include nearly 800 views of the White House and structures
as diverse as mansions in Newport, Rhode Island, workers' houses in West Virginia and sod houses in
Nebraska. His photographs, writings and lectures have helped bring widespread attention to the HABS/HAER
program.
John A. Burns, AIA is Deputy Chief of the Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American
Engineering Record of the National Park Service and has been with that program since 1972, after graduating
from the Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor of Architecture Degree and a Bachelor of Arts Degree
in Art History. He was editor-in-chief for the new HABS/HAER manual on documentation Recording
Historic Structures (Washington, DC: The AIA Press, 1989). He is manager of the Charles E. Peterson Prize,
a program that has resulted in student architects donating over $2,500,000 worth of measured drawings to the
HABS collection. In 1989 he directed a pilot project to record threatened National Historic Landmarks using
convergent photogrammetry. That project was extended to record damaged historic structures in California
after the Loma Prieta Earthquake. Those projects led to the development of a CAD/Photogrammetry
capability within HABS/HAER, the first such capability in the United States. He is currently providing
technical supervision to the CAD/Photogrammetric documentation of the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials in
Washington, D.C. Based on experience from this work, he is developing HABS/HAER standards for
documenting historic structures using CAD/Photogrammetry. A registered architect, he is a member of the
American Institute of Architects' Committee on Historic Resources.
Paul D. Dolinsky has been associated with the Historic American Buildings Survey since 1978 and is
currently the Chief. He began as a draftsman on an Historic American Buildings Survey project in Atlanta,
Georgia. His success with this project earned him a position in the Washington Office of HABS. Under the
direction of Kenneth L. Anderson, then Principal Architect for HABS, Paul supervised two HABS teams in
El Paso, Texas that documented the historic mission trail and the historic urban core of El Paso. After
returning to the Washington office he worked on numerous projects, including the Lloyd Manor House in
Oyster Bay, New York; and the Richard B. Russell Dam project in Elberton, Georgia. With the growth of
HABS in the 1980's Paul undertook project development and leadership on dozens of historic sites across the
United States. Paul Dolinsky also spearheaded the revitalization of landscape documentation within HABS.
4
HONORS AND AWARDS
To accomplish this he developed prototypical projects documenting the many types of landscapes. Some of
these include Meridian Hill Park and Dumbarton Oaks Park in Washington, D.C.. His documentation
procedures for landscape architecture have been published in the American Society of Landscape Architects
Landscape Architecture and Recording Historic Structures. In recent years Paul has successfully experimented
with computer aided drafting and photogrammetry on such projects as the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials
and the Battery in Charleston, South Carolina.
C. Ford Peatross, since arriving at the Library of Congress in 1975, has played key roles in the processing,
preservation, service and interpretation of the HABS and HAER Collection. As Curator of the ADE
(Architecture, Design, and Engineering) Collections in the Prints and Photographs Division, and more recently
as head of the Project for a Center for American Architecture, Design, and Engineering, he has long been one
of the strongest and most faithful advocates of the HABS/HAER Collection. He provided the impetus that
led to publication of The Historic American Buildings Survey on microform by Chadwyck-Healey, assembled
the authors and edited Historic America, and helped to organize the exhibition, "HABS: The First Fifty
Years," and accompanying 50th anniversary celebration at the Library of Congress. For almost twenty years
he has represented the Library's participation in the HABS/HAER program on its advisory boards and the
AIA's Committee on Historic Resources. The recipient of numerous awards, he has held offices in many
professional organizations and currently serves as an Adjunct Professor at Union College and as a member
of the Octagon Committee and the HABS Advisory Board.
During the past year, he has been active in promoting the Center Project, participated in the meetings of the
International Confederation of Architectural Museums (Madrid); the Working Conference on Establishing
Principles for the Appraisal and Selection of Architectural Records (Montreal), sponsored by the Society of
American Archivists, the Joint Committee for Canadian Architectural Records, and the Getty Trust; and
published "Winold Reiss, Pioneer of American Design," in Queen City Heritage, the journal of the Cincinnati
Historical Society. At the Library of Congress he is serving as editor-in-chief of Washingtoniana, Two
Centuries of Architecture, Design and Engineering Drawings in the Library of Congress, and is involved with
the planning of exhibitions on the design history of the United States Capitol (1995), Frank Lloyd Wright
(1996), and Charles and Ray Eames (1997).
Charles E. Peterson, FAIA, founder of HABS, in 1933, is credited by the historian of the American historic
preservation movement, Charles Hosmer, as being one of the two most important figures in that movement
in the twentieth century (Fiske Kimball being the other). Hosmer credits Peterson with three decisive actions
that have preserved HABS: the founding of HABS in 1933, the revitalization of HABS using student architects
in Philadelphia in the years following World War II, and leading the fight to preserve HABS when it was
under attack during the Carter Administration years. And, of course, everything that he has done for HABS
between these three great events. A fellow of the American Institute of Architects, he is an internationally
recognized expert on historic preservation and has published numerous books and articles on the subject.
John P. White, AIA, is a highly respected educator of architects at Texas Tech University and has supervised
more Historic American Buildings Survey summer teams than any other individual in the history of the
program. His first teaching experience began in 1972 as a graduate assistant at the University of Nebraska.
He began as an Assistant Professor at Texas Tech University in 1973, became an Associate Professor in 1977
and received a full professorship in 1989. Professor White is a member of the American Institute of
Architects, the Texas Society of Architects and the Lubbock Chapter of the AIA, as well as a member of the
Historic American Buildings Survey Foundation Advisory Board. John White has worked with the Historic
American Buildings Survey every summer since 1974. His first team was in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Highlights
of his documentation career are the Texas State Capitol in Austin Texas; the town of Locke, California; the
San Antonio Missions, San Antonio, Texas; the Maryland State House in Annapolis, Maryland; Scotty's
Castle in Death Valley California; Castillo El Morro, San Juan, Puerto Rico; and the town of Rancho Santa
Fe, California. Professor White has molded the preservation careers of countless young professionals who
have had the privilege of having him as their supervisor for the summer.

HONORS AND AWARDS
SHOT/HAER Fellowship
HABS/HAER's educational mandate includes the dissemination of information gathered during documentation
projects. In light of this mandate, the Historic American Engineering Record and the Society for the History
of Technology (SHOT) established in 1993 the SHOT/HAER Fellowship, the purpose of which is to encourage
the creation of new HAER research materials, and/or the use of HAER documentation in more extensive
research projects that go beyond the confines of a HAER summer recording project. A joint SHOT/HAER
committee in June of 1993 selected Amy E. Slaton as the first recipient of the SHOT/HAER Fellowship. Ms.
Slaton is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of the History and Sociology of Science, University of
Pennsylvania, and the topic of her research is "Origins of a Modern Form: The Reinforced-Concrete Factory
Building in America, 1900-1930." The fellowship allowed Ms. Slaton to spend several weeks in Washington,
D.C. in the fall of 1993, researching HAER documentation records. She will present a paper in 1994 to
HABS/HAER staff and local SHOT members concerning her research.
US/ICOMOS Interns Selected
Every year major contributions are made by international exchange students to the overall HABS/HAER
summer documentation programs. In 1993, HABS/HAER-US/ICOMOS received seven students from as many
different countries into its internship 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, administers the
internship program, locating qualified applicants through the various ICOMOS committees in participating
countries. The program is administered at HABS/HAER by Deputy Chief John A. Burns. Since the
program's inception in 1984, HABS/HAER has sponsored 134 interns from twenty countries HABS/HAER
remaining, by far, the largest sponsor of ICOMOS interns.
Applicants are evaluated by the same criteria their American counterparts are, and must possess equivalent
skills in their individual disciplines. They are also paid a stipend equivalent to the pay of their American
counterparts and coworkers.
HABS/HAER transferred approximately $67,674 to US/ICOMOS in fiscal year 1993 to support stipends paid
to interns.

HONORS AND AWARDS
Letter of Commendation Presented To Louisiana SHPO
Jonathan C. Fricker was awarded a Letter of Commendation at the September 13, 1993, exhibit/reception,
"Documenting Historic America" at The Athenaeum of Philadelphia for his role in promoting the development
of HABS documentation by students of architecture in Louisiana. In his position as Director of the Historic
Preservation Division of the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, Mr. Fricker used
available funding to pay for travel expenses for architectural students to travel to the most important historic
structures in the state. In return, the students submitted their drawings in the Charles E. Peterson Prize
competition. Measured drawings of thirty-nine Louisiana sites, recorded on 584 sheets worth over $600,000,
have been donated to HABS through the Peterson Prize. In doing so, Louisiana schools of architecture have
won the Peterson Prize once, finished second twice, finished third twice, and earned nine honorable mentions.

LETTER OF COMMENDATION
The Historic American Buildings Survey of the National Park Service presents this letter
of commendation to Jonathan C. Fricker in recognition of his efforts to preserve, protect, and
promote the architectural heritage of the state of Louisiana, and to help assure that architecture
students are provided with the fundamental skills necessary to care for these historic structures
in the future.
As Director of the Historic Preservation Division of the Louisiana Department of
Culture, Recreation and Tourism, Mark H. Hilzim, Secretary, Mr. Fricker has developed a
program to document for future generations significant and threatened Louisiana buildings.
Using seed grants from the Historic Preservation Division, the five architecture schools in
Louisiana have participated the Charles E. Peterson Prize by producing measured drawings of
historic Louisiana buildings. Since 1988, over fifty Louisiana sites have been recorded and the
measured drawings deposited with the Historic American Buildings Survey collection in the
Library of Congress. In that time period, Louisiana schools won a First Place, two Seconds,
two Thirds, and nine Honorable Mentions in the Peterson Prize, the largest collaborative effort
of any state. The thirteen winners documented four National Historic Landmarks and eight
National Register properties.
Other beneficiaries of the program are the dozens of architecture students who have
received training in the analysis and documentation of historic buildings, skills that will be
invaluable to their future professional practice in the stewardship of Louisiana's architectural
heritage. Finally, the people of Louisiana benefit from the baseline documentation produced,
whether for maintenance or restoration, as catastrophic loss protection, or as record for future
generations of a building threatened with destruction.

PEOPLE OF HABS/HAER
ON THE MOVE
Elizabeth Barthold, full-time HABS Project Historian with L'Enfant-McMillan documentation since 1990, resigned
her position in September 1993. She joined John Milner Associates of Alexandria, Virginia, as a project
architectural historian.
Caroline Russell Bedinger, HABS/HAER Historian, resigned her position in December 1992, to move to Germany
with her husband.
NEW FACES
Annamieka C. Russell started working for HABS/HAER as an assistant to Marlene Bergstrom, HABS/HAER
Summer Program Administrator in February 1993. She has a degree in history from the University of Maryland
Baltimore Campus. At the University of Maryland, she worked for the office of continuing education, excellent
training for her work with the summer hiring program. Since Marlene Bergstrom's retirement in May 1993,
Annamieka has made sure that the summer hiring program runs smoothly, from initial recruitment, evaluation, and
selection, to tracking payroll and team expenses, to end-of-summer resignations and making sure that final
paychecks are forwarded to the right addresses.
RETIREMENTS
Marlene Bergstrom, HABS/HAER Summer Program Administrator, ended seventeen years of Federal service with
her retirement in May 1993. Marlene began her career with HABS/HAER in 1976 as a typist for historical data
manuscripts. Subsequently she began to compile documentation for transmittal to the Library of Congress. After
becoming a permanent employee, Marlene became photographic services assistant, providing administrative support
to the staff photographers and archival records management section. In 1987, she assumed the responsibilities of
Summer Program Administrator, overseeing the recruitment and hiring of approximately one hundred summer
employees each year.
Executive Directors to Retire
In the coming year, two executive directors of HABS/HAER's supporting professional organizations will be leaving.
James P. Cramer of the American Institute of Architects and Dr. Edward O. Pfrang of the American Society of
Civil Engineers have announced their intentions of stepping down, in 1994, from their current positions. In
appreciation of their support for the Historic American Buildings Survey and the Historic American Engineering
Record, a brief biography of each man has been included below.
James P. Cramer, Executive Vice President/CEO, Honorary AIA, the American Institute of Architects (1988-94),
provides leadership for the 56,000+ member organization that was founded in 1857. Since 1988, Mr. Cramer has
been responsible for the Institute's strategic vision; industry wide collaboration and alliances; oversight of legislative
activities and lobbying; financial management; and publishing, public affairs and overall entrepreneurial vision.
Mr. Cramer graduated from Northern State University with a B.S. in 1969. In 1974, he earned an M.A. from the
University of St. Thomas and continued graduate studies in management and planning at the University of Minnesota
where he received an Advanced Planning Certificate in 1976.
Between 1971 and 1978, he functioned as a director in several community service programs and organizations.
From 1978 to 1982, he served as executive vice president of the Minnesota Society of Architects. His involvement
with the American Institute of Architects is extensive: president, AIA Service Corporation (1982-85); president, the
American Architectural Foundation at the Octagon (1985-89); and senior vice president and deputy CEO (1985-88).
13
PEOPLE OF HABS/HAER
Mr. Cramer has served on the board of directors, the National Building Museum; board of regents, the American
Architectural Foundation; as chairman, Architecture Magazine board of directors; and on the White House Advisory
Committee.
Mr. Cramer's support for the HABS program has been unfailing. He was a major force in the AIA's decision to
fund HABS to record The White House for the 200th Anniversary of this well-known structure. It was also under
his leadership that AIA decided to publish Recording Historic Structures by John A. Burns, AIA, HABS/HAER
deputy chief, as the standard of the HABS/HAER programs.
Edward O. Pfrang, Ph.D., Executive Director, The American Society of Civil Engineers, implements the major
goals of the ASCE, the oldest professional engineering society in the country. As executive director, Dr. Pfrang
acts as the principal liaison between the board of directors and the staff, manages the Society's operations, and
coordinates staff support of 8,000+ volunteer committee members.
Dr. Pfrang graduated from the University of Connecticut, where he earned a B.S. in Civil Engineering. He holds
master's and doctorate degrees in structural engineering from Yale University and the University of Illinois,
respectively.
Prior to going to the ASCE in 1983, Dr. Pfrang taught civil engineering at the University of Delaware, chaired the
Joint U.S.-Japan Panel on the Design of Structures to Resist Wind and Seismic Effects (1968-83), and directed a
multitude of research programs in structural engineering at the National Bureau of Standards -- now National
Institute of Standards Technology (1966-1983). It was at the Bureau that Dr. Pfrang worked with HABS/HAER
Chief Robert Kapsch.
Since his arrival in 1983, Dr. Pfrang was instrumental in the founding of the Civil Engineering Research Foundation
(CERF), enlarged the scope of ASCE's technical divisions, standards program, publications program and educational
activities, and increased ASCE's focus on international engineering concerns heading society delegations to
numerous countries, including Russia, China and India.
Under Dr. Pfrang's leadership at ASCE, a wide-range of cooperative activities have been undertaken, including
exhibits, calendars and publications, the latest being Landmark American Bridges by HAER Chief Eric DeLony.
OBITUARIES
Frederick A. "Fritz" Gutheim, "an urban and regional planner, author, and preservationist who played a major
role in shaping the growth of the Washington, D.C., area, died in October. Through his historic preservation
program at George Washington University he educated HABS/HAER Chief Robert J. Kapsch; former HABS/HAER
Deputy Chief Sally Kress Tompkins; Senior HABS Historian Kim Hoagland and other notable preservationists.
Mr. Gutheim pursued an extraordinarily wide range of projects over the course of his long life, among them, the
preservation of the views from Mount Vernon and Washington's Lafayette Square, and the founding of the graduate
program in historic preservation at George Washington University. He also worked for years to promote the
preservation of upper Montgomery County, Maryland. Mr. Gutheim's early work focused on public planning and
housing, but he also served during the late 1940s as an architecture critic for the New York Herald-Tribune - one
of the first such writers in the country. His later articles on architecture and planning for The Washington Post are
credited with having shaped the redevelopment of Pennsylvania Avenue and other important plans and projects.
Mr. Gutheim was the author of Worthy of the Nation (the Smithsonian Institution Press, 1977), which described the
planning and development of Washington as the nation's capital, and The Potomac (the Johns Hopkins Press, 1949),
an examination of the ways in which the river affected the economy, growth, and form of the capital city. For his
lifetime achievements, Mr. Gutheim was honored by the National Trust in 1990 with a Crowninshield Award."

Charles B. Hosmer, Jr., "widely known as the historian of the historic preservation movement in America, died
in August. A professor of history at Principia College in Elsah, Illinois, until he retired in June, Mr. Hosmer is
best known among preservationists for his two books that chronicle the history of American preservation: Presence

of the Past: A History of the Preservation Movement in the United States Before Williamsburg (G.P. Putnam's Sons,
1965) and Preservation Comes of Age: From Williamsburg To the National Trust, 1926-1949 (The University Press
of Virginia, 1981). The two volumes, which have become standard teaching and reference texts, recount the
emergence and development of historic preservation in this country. Mr. Hosmer later worked on an oral history
of the preservation movement for the Eastern National Park and Monument Association, and he appeared frequently
as a speaker at meetings of national preservation, architectural history, and architecture organizations."
Mr. Hosmer's connection to HABS is that he did the oral history of HABS founder Charles E. Peterson, the history
now in Record Group 515 at the National Archives (Charles Peterson has executed a deed of trust making the oral
history available to researchers upon his death).
excerpted from obituary in
Historic Preservation News
December 1993/January 1994
Samuel Wilson, Jr., "truly the dean of architectural historians in New Orleans, died on October 22, 1993. He
was, I believe, of the first generation of young architects who worked on the Historic American Buildings Survey
during the Depression." Mr. Wilson began his HABS career during the winter of 1933-34 in Natchez, Mississippi -
- amongst the first of the HABS field teams. It was on that team that he worked for Richard Koch, to become his
partner in the distinguished firm of Koch & Wilson.
"He was a long-time member of Society of Architectural Historians and served on the Board of Directors from 1954
to 1961. Sam was exceedingly generous in sharing his knowledge; his many articles are scattered throughout a wide
range of publications. A portion of these are in The Architecture of Colonial Louisiana, Collected Essays of Samuel
Wilson, Jr., FAIA (The Center for Louisiana Studies, University of Southwestern Louisiana, 1987)."

ACTIVITIES IN REVIEW
LEGISLATIVE ACTION ON HABS/HAER
Base funding for HABS/HAER at the beginning of Fiscal Year 1993 was a little under $ 1 million. The total
expenditures for HABS/HAER in the same period was approximately $ 3 million. The difference between these
two numbers $ 2 million - came from two sources: 1) outside public and private funding of HABS/HAER
projects, and (2) Congressional add-ons. HABS/HAER has received Congressional add-ons in three areas: (1)
support for the Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archeology at West Virginia University
developed by HABS/HAER Chief Robert J. Kapsch in conjunction with the Institute's Director, Dr. Emory Kemp;
2) HABS/HAER support for America's Industrial Heritage Project (AIHP) and 3) Historic Birmingham, Alabama.
The total of Congressional add-ons for Fiscal Year 1993 was a little under $ 1 million.
HABS/HAER has been receiving these Congressional add-ons for a number of years and each year each item has
to be introduced in the Congressional appropriation process. In Fiscal Year 1993 this changed. The incoming
Administration decided to include all Congressional add-ons as part of the base for the sponsoring agency. This
decision was supported by the Congress in their passage of the Fiscal Year 1994 Department of Interior
appropriations bill. This had the effect of almost doubling the base of the HABS/HAER programs. It is believed
that new Congressional add ons will be difficult to obtain because of the large concern about the Federal deficit.
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS ACTIVITIES
Reduction of Processing Backlog
Congratulations are extended to the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division staff who achieved their
two-year goal of completing the processing of all accessioned HABS/HAER documentation transmitted through
1988. These records are now readily available to the public in the Prints and Photographs Division reading room.
The Library of Congress will begin the processing of HABS/HAER documentation transmitted from 1989 through
1993 in the Fall of 1994.
HABS/HAER Collections on CD-ROM
Both the Library of Congress and HABS/HAER are interested in harnessing state-of-the-art technology to make
collections such as HABS/HAER's more accessible to users nationwide. Because of this mutual interest, it was only
natural that the Library of Congress Catalog Distribution Services Division (CDS) selected the HABS Collection
to develop a demonstration CD-ROM product to test the feasibility and potential benefits of CD-ROM access to
collections. In response to a Request for Quote, a contract was awarded to Lunaria, Inc., a firm with experience
in designing multimedia programs for museum exhibits, education training, public information, and testing and
marketing. The work group consists of representatives from the Library of Congress, CDS: Kathryn Mendenhall,
Supervisor, Product Development; and Robert O. Ralls, Computer Applications; HABS/HAER: John A. Burns,
Deputy Division Chief; and Georgette R. Wilson, Collections Management Administrator; and, Lunaria, Inc.:
Virginia Rice, Project Manager and a co-founder and principal of Lunaria, Inc.
The initial task was to develop a marketable concept that was attractive as well as interactive and that conveyed the
vast wealth of architectural and industrial documentation in the HABS and HAER Collections. The working group
quickly realized that developing a CD-ROM demonstration disk of samples from the collections limited the material
that could be presented and also pointed out the differences between a CD-ROM product and a publication.
The single disk CD-ROM will contain a sampling of images and index records from the HABS Collection. The
images selected are intended to present the scope and richness of the collection and demonstrate the functionality
of CD-ROM technology for the Library of Congress' vast holdings. The completed demonstration disk entitled A
Question of Style will be distributed nationwide to libraries, architectural schools, historical societies, and individual
researchers. The CD-ROM will complement the upcoming publication of (Fall 1994) HABS and HAER checklist
entitled America Preserved, also published by CDS.

ACTIVITIES IN REVIEW
Early on the working group decided to develop a product that appeals to the broad and diverse audience interested
in the HABS and HAER Collections. After exploring several concepts, the group agreed to focus on a sampling
of architectural styles. The hard part was to limit choices to three architectural styles. The CD-ROM program will
display a main menu with options for information about:
The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS): This section introduces the user to the HABS program and
Collection at the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.
Architectural styles: Users can explore an architectural style with images for structures within each style.
Architectural features: This section focuses on architectural details, definitions, and line drawings, as well as,
the ability to compare styles or find specific information pertaining to architectural details such as, cornices or
moldings.
Architects: Provides profiles on architects from each architectural style.
Index: Users can find buildings by name, location, architect, or building types.
Find: Users can conduct searches of the entire HABS Collection by subject, key word, or geographical area.
Glossary: A separate glossary that can be accessed from any point within the program. Users can hear the
correct pronunciation of a term and see accompanying visual examples of the different styles.
As this CD-ROM project demonstrates, multimedia technology and its implications for researchers and interested
enthusiasts of collections such as the HABS Collection, is limited only by the imagination of the user. As part of
introducing A Question of Style, HABS and the Library of Congress, Interpretive Programs Unit, plan to promote
the CD-ROM diskette with a kick-off event and an accompanying traveling exhibit to complement the diskette.
The Library of Congress, CDS Division and HABS are excited about the future possibilities of CD-ROM technology
generated from this collaborative effort and intend to enter into a cooperative agreement in 1995 to further explore
the applications of multimedia technology to disseminate the wealth of information available about the nation's
cultural heritage.
CAD/PHOTOGRAMMETRY LABORATORY UPDATE
The adaptation of traditional HABS/HAER measuring and drawing methods to CAD technology has presented new
challenges. AUTOCAD works better as a tool for designing new buildings rather than documenting existing ones.
Traditional HABS/HAER drawings are drawn by hand at a pre-determined scale. CAD drawings, however, are
essentially drawn at full-scale. The need to measure these buildings in order to accommodate full-scale drawing
accuracy has remained a challenge throughout the course of the project. Whereas a 1/2" discrepancy would be
undiscernibly small on a 1/4" scale drawing, it remains 1/2" on a full-scale CAD file. The accuracy obtainable in
AUTOCAD (1/64") is well beyond the accuracy which we expect to obtain in measuring, typically the nearest 1/4"
for floor plans. We have adjusted our measuring and drawing methodologies accordingly, keeping in mind that the
CAD files will, in fact, rarely be used at full-scale. Hard copy archival plots at appropriate scales are deposited
in the Library of Congress as the formal HABS or HAER drawings.
Another concern has been the large size of some of the drawing files. Less than a year into the Lincoln and
Jefferson Memorials project, it became apparent that the original CAD system was inadequate for some of the large
drawing files which were being generated. The fact that the buildings are essentially drawn at full-scale allows for
an extremely high level of detail to be included. For instance, the Lincoln Memorial has extensive carved-stone
and cast-bronze ornamentation. It was essential that this be recorded in detail for restoration and curatorial needs.
Of the twenty-eight sheets of drawings generated for the Lincoln Memorial, ten are larger than 7MB, with two of
those larger than 23MB. Beyond the extensive use of X-references, this has resulted in a need for very careful file
management, including, at times, limitations to the number of users on the network. The file sizes are closer to
the sizes common to topological drawings (i.e. with huge quantities of points and vectors), with similar demands
placed on the hardware and software.

ACTIVITIES IN REVIEW
To overcome the problem, a Hewlett-Packard Apollo 9000 Model 730 UNIX work station with a 66MHz DPA-
RISC processor, 64MB RAM, 840MB of disc space, and a 19" color graphic display was installed. Connected to
this work station were two Hewlett-Packard HP700/RX terminals with 19" color monitors. A second 300MB hard
drive was installed in the file server. An additional 16MB of RAM was installed in each of the existing DOS work
stations. At the same time that we installed the UNIX system, we upgraded to AUTOCAD Release 12 and Novell
Netware 3.11, with a Novell NFS to link the UNIX system to our existing network.

Despite this significant increase in computing power, the large sizes of the drawing files continued to be a problem.
Having two satellite terminals connected to the UNIX workstation significantly slowed down its powerful
microprocessor, so we plan to procure in 1994 a second UNIX workstation, a Hewlett-Packard Apollo 9000 Model
735, with a 99MHz PA-RISC processor, 128MB RAM, 1.2GB of disc space, and a 19" color monitor. We will
move one of the terminals to the second UNIX workstation so that each would support only one satellite terminal.
Other future procurements will replace the 486 work stations and the file server with three Hewlett-Packard XP 586
work stations, each with 32MB RAM, and a Hewlett-Packard LM60 586 file server having a single 1GB hard drive.
Finally, we began planning to obtain a plotter that will produce E-size archival plots, so that we do not have to rely
on plotting services for final plots.
CAD/photogrammetry projects active during fiscal year 1993 were: Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, Washington,
D.C.; Washington Monument, Washington, D.C.; Washburn A Mill, Minneapolis, Minnesota; Mesa Verde National
Park, Colorado and Hovenweep National Monument, Utah; and Charleston Battery, Charleston, South Carolina.
Print media coverage of recording included Washington Post, Washington Times, and AP Wire, and TV coverage
included Fox, WRC, nationwide on NBC's Today Show.

HAER MARITIME PROGRAM ACTIVITIES
Nationwide interest in the preservation of large historic ships has grown substantially in recent years. Since 1985,
HAER has documented historic vessels, such as: BALCLUTHA, TICONDERAGA and EUREKA. As a result of
this new direction, HAER published "Guidelines for Recording Historic Ships" and established the Sally Kress
Tompkins Maritime Internship with the Council of American Maritime Museums (CAMM). The publication is now
undergoing revisions for a second printing.
In November of 1993, the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park cosponsored a project to record the lines
of the steam ferry EUREKA, one of two remaining walking beam marine steam engines in the United States. The
project was undertaken by Todd A. Croteau, HAER Architect and Maritime Coordinator, and Richard Anderson
Jr., former HAER Maritime Coordinator and author of HAER's "Guidelines for Recording Historic Ships."
EUREKA was undergoing restoration and was dry-docked for several months. This opportunity allowed the lines
to be taken and drawings developed for a permanent record. Future recording of the vessel's above-water fittings
will take place as time and funding permit.
HAER is presently exploring possible uses of CAD/Photogrammetry in the documentation of historic vessels. To
prove the technology in the maritime field, photogrammetric images were taken of the small fishing boat
MONTERREY and at the time of this publication some of the images had been digitized. This system would allow
for immediate photographic recordation of endangered ships or other maritime structures prior to destruction. This
information can be processed immediately or used at a later date to create scaled, measured drawings to
HABS/HAER standards. For further information contact Todd A. Croteau, HAER Architect and Maritime
Coordinator.

ACTIVITIES IN REVIEW
INCREASING MINORITIES IN PRESERVATION STILL A GOAL
Recognizing the need to increase the awareness and participation of minorities within the field of historic
preservation, HABS/HAER provided $12,000 to the National Trust to undertake cooperative activities that would
further this goal. The National Trust, in turn, provided $6,000 each to Howard University and Tuskeegee
University, historically black universities, to conduct a HABS measured drawing course in the departments of
architecture. All documentation produced by the Howard University and Tuskeegee University students will be
donated to the HABS Collection at the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division.
Howard University
Howard University participated for the third year in a row, continuing to offer two sessions -- a spring semester
in addition to the initial summer course -- during the 1992-93 academic year. The expanded course offering
includes the initial Drawing Documentation course offered during the summer and The Principles of Historic
Preservation and Documentation offered during the spring. In addition to the use of Howard Hall as a
demonstration project during both sessions, course projects extended into the surrounding Howard community with
surveys such as LeDroit Park and other significant historic African-American places.
Howard students participated in several workshops as well. Last fall Bonnie Harris and Michael Trader, members
of the initial spring course, represented Howard University School of Architecture at the National Trust's Forty-
seventh National Preservation Conference in St. Louis, Missouri.
In addition, a number of students interned with HABS/HAER and with other preservation organizations. Under
a cooperative agreement, HABS/HAER offered an internship in the Washington office to a minority student in the
architecture program at Howard University. In the 1993-1994 academic year Lori A. Smith, a senior architecture
student, filled this position. Over a period of several months Lori edited HABS drawings for the Bethune House
project, transmitted HABS photographic documentation for the Birmingham project, and edited HAER drawings
for Pennsylvania Cast and Wrought Iron Bridges, East Broad Top Railroad, and the U.S.S. Arizona. The
HABS/HAER summer program greatly benefitted from Lori's vast experience.
Tuskeegee University
Tuskeegee University participated for the fourth straight year and attracted eleven architecture students, a marked
improvement over 1992. The HABS measured drawings course continued to be taught by HABS alumna Kim
Harden. Students participated in a course to produce documentation of the Alumni House, c. 1890, in the National
Historic Landmark district of Tuskeegee University campus.
The documentation produced through the course will be donated to HABS for inclusion in the Collection at the
Library of Congress, entered in the Charles E. Peterson Prize, and will serve as the Tuskeegee entry in the state-
wide competition for the Burkhardt Prize.
WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY -

The Institute employs a talented group of historians, delineators, engineers, architects, drafting specialists and
landscape specialists to carry out their mission. Many have been members of HABS/HAER summer teams. The
relationship between the Institute and HABS/HAER is a natural extension of the well established cooperative
activities that began with Emory Kemp's involvement in HAER in 1972.
The Institute is under the overall supervision of Dr. Kemp and Billy Joe Peyton, Associate Director for Research,
and Michael McMahon, Associate Director for Education. HABS/HAER Chief Robert J. Kapsch is the overall
cooperative agreement administrator.
The Institute focuses its resources on projects that meet specific criteria. The Institute is a unit of the Eberly
College of Arts and Sciences at West Virginia University. As defined within the context of West Virginia
University, the mission of the Institute involves research, service, and teaching in the history of technology,
industrial archaeology, and the safety and preservation of historic engineering works. Project criteria focuses on
the study, identification, documentation, and interpretation of industrial and technological sites, structures, and
artifacts in West Virginia, the Appalachian region, and the nation.

ACTIVITIES IN REVIEW
The Institute's projects are separated into three categories based on sources of funding: 1) projects funded wholly
through HABS/HAER cooperative agreements, 2) projects funded partially by cooperative agreement funds,
contract or other cooperative agreements and financial instruments, or 3) projects solely funded as part of the
Institute's program.
The 1993 HABS/HAER work plan includes both 100% HABS/HAER funded and partnership projects.
HABS/HAER funded projects include: Wheeling Custom House Structural Documentation; Iron Industry of Central
Appalachia; Nineteenth Century Internal Improvements; Ohio Historic Bridges; Communications and Publications
Program focussing on cement mills along the Potomac River, two newsletters, and an educational video; and
Academic Instruction for Archival Management, Power Systems of Oil & Gas Industry, West Virginia Coal
Context, and Nuttallburg Coal Mine Documentation. Partnership funded projects include: Industrial Archaeology
of the B&O Railroad, Industrial Archaeology of the Northwest Virginia Extension of the B&O Railroad, Bridge
Patent Study, The Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archaeology Records Management,
Industrial Archaeology Techniques Book, and Industrial Archaeology of the National Road.
Projects undertaken by the Institute are of a local, regional, and national nature. Institute projects increasingly
address national problems and research relative to preservation, interpretation, and HABS/HAER documentation
of our nation's industrial heritage. Plans include, but are not limited to: consultations with federal agencies and
Congress on cultural resource management issues; scholarly research focused on the history, documentation, and
preservation of historic Nineteenth century transportation and industry; production and distribution of educational
monographs and videotapes; implementation of joint training programs with HABS/HAER; and sponsorship of
national seminars and conferences. A primary objective is for the Institute to be recognized as a national center
in the history of technology, industrial archaeology, and the safety and preservation of engineering works.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY INTERN PROGRAM
Peter V. Ionata, Robert P. Juskevich, Gary T. Mcleod and Peter W. Radcliff, students in The Catholic University
of America (CUA), School of Architecture and Planning's preservation program were the first participants in a new
internship program established this year between HABS and the school's preservation program. Under the guidance
of CUA preservation program director Roy Eugene Graham, AIA, and Frederick J. Lindstrom, HABS Architect,
these four students worked on multiple tasks in the HABS/HAER office throughout the fall semester. Each intern
edited drawings, prepared records for transmittal and inventoried the field equipment for the next summers projects.
With the experience gained in the HABS office, all were in the top ten, highest rated applicants to the HABS/HAER
summer program. Gary T. McLeod and Peter W. Radcliff returned in the following summer to work on the George
Washington Memorial Parkway project.
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND PRESERVATION TRAINING
The first year of the cooperative agreement between the University of Maryland and HABS/HAER inaugurated a
series of cooperative training opportunities related to the documentation of the nation's outstanding examples of
historic architecture and engineering. In 1993 the University of Maryland, Historic Preservation Certificate
Program and HABS/HAER pursued this objective through two long courses and two short courses related to
HABS/HAER recording projects, continuation of the lecture series, and the appointment of a University of Maryland
intern to work in the Collections Management Section of the HABS/HAER office. The long courses offered
"Measured Drawings for Historic Preservation" taught by Judith Capen, AIA, and "Documenting the Historic
Environment" by Peter Kurtze. The short courses conducted included "Architectural and Engineering Photography"
by HABS photographer Jack E. Boucher and HAER photographer Jet Lowe, and "CAD Photogrammetry" by John
A. Burns, AIA, HABS/HAER Deputy Chief. Under the direction of Collections Management Administrator
Georgette R. Wilson, the University of Maryland intern, Jonathan Powell, assisted by Collections Management
Architect Brian Cary, and Collections Management Historian Monica Murphy, completed the reorganization and
computerization of the architectural and engineering reference area, revised the reference area manual, and assigned
HABS and HAER survey numbers for recording projects.
The cooperative agreement activities benefitted from the leadership of professors James Flack, David Fogle and
Mary Sies from the University of Maryland.

ALASKA PHOTOGRAPHS DONATED
Osmund Overby, Editor-in-Chief of the Society of Architectural Historians' (SAH) Buildings of the United
States series, donated the photographs produced for Buildings of Alaska to HABS in accordance with a long-
expressed desire by the Editorial Committee of the Buildings of the United States that HABS/HAER become
the repository of all photographs taken for this series. The author of Alaska is, of course, HABS Senior
Historian Kim Hoagland, and SAH contracted with HAER photographer Jet Lowe to take the photographs.
These images, which number approximately 200, have been transmitted to the HABS Alaska collection at the
Library of Congress, which has grown substantially in the last ten years.
HANOVER TAVERN CAD DRAWINGS DONATED TO HABS/HAER
On June 17, 1993, representatives of the Hanover Tavern Foundation delivered a set of measured drawings
to the HABS/HAER Office in Washington, D.C. The HABS drawings are the first in Virginia to be prepared
using a computer-aided design (CAD) system.
The drawings were prepared by Douglas J. Harnsberger, AIA, a Richmond architect recognized for his work
in preservation. The set includes fourteen ink-on-mylar drawings. The drawings are a significant step in the
Foundation's four-part research process at Hanover Tavern that also includes a historic structures report, and
archival and archeological research.
In recognition of this accomplishment, HABS/HAER Division Chief Robert Kapsch hosted a luncheon for
representatives of the Foundation, Library of Congress, National Trust for Historic Preservation, and
HABS/HAER. Representing Hanover Tavern Foundation were Linda H. Marks, President of the Board of
Trustees, Judith C. Gilman, Trustee; Douglas J. Harnsberger, Advisory Board Member; and Donna P.
Dowling, Executive Secretary. Attending from the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division was
Christina Carbone, Curator of Architectural Design and Engineering. Attending from the Mid-Atlantic
Regional Office of the National Trust was Patrick Hauck, Field Representative. Representing the Washington
HABS/HAER Office were Paul Dolinsky, HABS Chief; Kim Hoagland, Senior HABS Historian; Frederick
J. Lindstrom, HABS Architect; and Georgette Wilson, Collections Management Administrator.

On July 1, 1993, the Commission of Fine Arts, the Smithsonian Institution Press and HABS/HAER hosted
a book party for A Quest for Grandeur, by former HABS/HAER Deputy Chief Sally Kress Tompkins with
photographs by HABS photographer Jack E. Boucher. The purpose of this reception was to introduce this
new and exceedingly beautiful book to the Washington, D.C. architectural and engineering community. A
Quest for Grandeur, a history of the development of the Federal Triangle and the contribution of Charles
Moore, was posthumously published by HABS/HAER staff to honor Sally Kress Tompkins' contributions to
HABS/HAER. The text was based on her M.A. thesis undertaken at George Washington University. The
publication was under the project leadership of HABS/HAER Historian Caroline Bedinger. The reception was
held in the conference room of the Commission of Fine Arts which houses many of the original architectural
renderings used by Moore and his associates in developing the Federal Triangle. Royalties from the sale of
this publication will go to the Sally Kress Tompkins Fellowship fund maintained by the Society of
Architectural Historians in Philadelphia.

On July 20th, 1993, the Washington Office of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) hosted a reception
and booksigning party for the recently published Landmark American Bridges, by HAER Chief Eric DeLony.
ASCE is one of the original co-founders of the HAER program. The book was the first publishing venture between
HAER and its engineering constituent group. The Bulfinch Press, Little Brown Publishing Company, Boston,
entered into a separate agreement with ASCE that resulted in the book's national distribution.
Over a hundred people attended and thirty-six books were sold that evening. Curtis Deane, Managing Director of
the Washington office, and Susan Sarver, Manager of Special Services, hosted the party. Attending from the New
York home office of ASCE was ASCE Executive Director Ed Pfrang, David Dresia, Managing Director of
Publications, the book's editor, Zoe Foundotos, Virginia Fairweather, Editor, Civil Engineering, Sheila Menaker,
production editor, and John Pape, marketing.
More than 90 landmark bridges were selected from nearly 1,000 in the HAER Collection. Arranged
chronologically, the book begins with the 1794 Choate Bridge in Ipswich, Massachusetts, and ends with the 1964
gateway to New York Harbor, the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. As you turn the pages, two-hundred years of
American bridge-building is revealed in ninety-seven half tones, twenty-seven line drawings, thirty-one color
reproductions in a hundred and sixty pages. The book is a visual feast and a handy reference. An introductory
essay summarizes HAER's historic bridge program, followed by a comprehensive time-line of bridge-building
technology at the beginning of each of the five chapters; a listing of the bridges in the HAER Collection, and a
bibliography round out the informational contents of the book. Since release in June 1993, over 8,500 copies have
sold. The book is available from the ASCE as well as many book stores.

NATIONAL PARK FOUNDATION PUBLICATIONS PROPOSED
Guided by missions that complement each other, HABS/HAER Chief Robert J. Kapsch and National Park
Foundation President Alan Rubin entered into a cooperative agreement in the fall of 1993. The National Park
Foundation, a non-profit organization, was established to support National Park Service programs, services, and
personnel. The implementation of this cooperative agreement will permit HABS/HAER and the Foundation to
achieve their mutual interests through publications and other media highlighting the extensive documentation of
National Park Service and other American cultural resources recorded by HABS/HAER. The umbrella project for
these activities will be the "Director's Publication Series of HABS/HAER Documentation of American Cultural
Resources." Both organizations will work closely to develop series specifications that create a familial relationship
tying the publications together and incorporate the scope and richness of the HABS/HAER Collections.
Over the past several months HABS/HAER staff members Robert J. Kapsch, Chief; John A. Burns, Deputy Chief;
and Georgette R. Wilson, Collections Management Administrator; and National Park Foundation staff Alan Rubin,
President; Kate C. Raftery, Executive Director; Jill Nicoll, Vice President of Marketing; and Jennifer Dalsimer
Archer, Director of Programs; and Diane Maddex, Archetype Press consultant, explored initial publication ideas
for the series. A proposed list of book topics incorporating HABS/HAER drawings, photographs, and written
historical data and conceived by HABS/HAER staff John A. Burns, Deputy Chief; Paul D. Dolinsky, HABS Chief;
and Kim Hoagland, HABS Senior Historian, is currently under consideration.
Both organizations bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and creative resources that together will further the
mutual purposes and objectives of supporting and promoting the preservation of our nation's cultural resources
through documentation.

HABS SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
On Monday, November 15, 1993, the Historic American Buildings Survey celebrated its sixtieth anniversary. An
open house was held at the offices of HABS at 800 North Capitol Street, Washington, D.C. Recent projects
highlighting measured drawings, large-format photography and written history were exhibited as well as informative,
guided tours given of our new CAD/Photogrammetry laboratory and archival photographic darkroom. The Library
of Congress also held an open house at the Prints and Photographs Division in the James Madison Building. On
exhibition were numerous examples of HABS documentation over the past sixty years. That evening the American
Institute of Architects in conjunction with the HABS Foundation hosted a reception and dinner at their headquarters.
The reception was highlighted by speeches from representatives of the tripartite partners who established HABS.
The Library of Congress was represented by Mr. Daniel P. Mulhollan, Acting Deputy Librarian; the American
Institute of Architects by James P. Cramer, Hon AIA, Executive Vice President and CEO; the National Park
Service by its Director, Roger Kennedy, and Jerry Rogers, Associate Director for Cultural Resources. The HABS
Foundation, under the direction of James Massey, former Chief of HABS, took the opportunity to announce the
establishment of the "Fellows of HABS". The reception and dinner were well attended by three generations of
supporters of the Survey and many good memories were recollected.

The American Institute of Architects convened a meeting of the AIA-HABS Advisory Board on November
15, 1993. It was the first such meeting since the U.S. Government-chartered Advisory Board was allowed
to sunset in 1979, when HABS was part of the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service during the
Carter Administration. Authorized under the 1934 Tripartite Agreement among the National Park Service,
the American Institute of Architects, and the Library of Congress, which established the Historic American
Buildings Survey, the AIA-HABS Advisory Board is intended to provide professional support for the HABS
program through oversight, information exchange, technical guidance, and mutual cooperation.
The architects representing the American Institute of Architects membership were appointed by AIA President
Susan A. Maxman, FAIA, and report independently to the AIA leadership. The members are Kimberly
Harden, AIA, of Montgomery, Alabama; Lloyd W. Jary, AIA, of San Antonio, Texas; Herbert W. Levy,
FAIA, of Springhouse, Pennsylvania; Dan L. Peterson, AIA, of Point Richmond, California; and David G.
Woodcock, FAIA, RIBA, of College Station, Texas. Also designated as an ex-officio member was the Chair
of the AIA Historic Resources Committee, Hugh C. Miller, FAIA, of Richmond, Virginia. The appointed
members represent all areas of the country and a broad range of professional expertise with historic structures.
Some are in private practice (Jary, Levy, and Peterson), some are educators (Harden and Woodcock), some
are in state government (Harden and Miller, who additionally was formerly the Chief Historical Architect of
the National Park Service), or active in the Institute (Levy is an AIA Commissioner).
Among its initial actions, the Advisory Board elected Dan Peterson as Chair and Kimberly Harden as Vice
Chair. Subsequent to the meeting, the Advisory Board sent a letter to the Honorable James H. Billington,
Librarian of the Library of Congress, requesting that the library designate C. Ford Peatross, Curator of
Architecture and Engineering Collections, to be the official Library of Congress representative to the Advisory
Board. Similarly, the Board wrote Roger G. Kennedy, Director of the National Park Service, requesting that
the Chief of the Historic American Buildings Survey, Paul D. Dolinsky, be designated as the official
representative from the National Park Service.
Attending the meeting for HABS were HABS/HAER Chief Robert J. Kapsch, Hon. AIA, Deputy Chief John
A. Burns, AIA, and Paul D. Dolinsky, Chief of HABS.

HABS FOUNDATION REVITALIZED
The Historic American Buildings Survey Foundation was established in 1983 concurrent with the 50th
anniversary of HABS. Its founding members were Russell V. Keune, James C. Massey (Chief of HABS
1962-1971), Osmund R. Overby, Charles E. Peterson (founder of HABS), John C. Poppeliers (Chief of HABS
1971-1979), and Constance Werner Ramirez. The Foundation was established to provide nonprofit sector
support for HABS as a 501(c)(3) corporation and facilitated many of the activities and products associated with
the 50th anniversary of the program.
The Foundation has been relatively inactive since the 50th anniversary but has been reactivated to support
several 60th anniversary activities at the request of HABS Chief Paul Dolinsky and HABS/HAER Chief
Robert J. Kapsch. With the revitalization came a new Board of Directors. They include Charles Atherton,
FAIA, Chairman; S. Allen Chambers, former HABS Historian; John Garner, AIA; Christopher Gribbs,
Secretary and Treasurer; James C. Massey, former HABS Chief; Donald Myers, AIA, former HABS
Architect; Mary Oehrlein, FAIA, former HABS Architect; John P. White, AIA, HABS supervisor; and Ann
Vlatycil, AIA. The Foundation is exploring many activities such as publishing and distributing HABS records;
sponsoring exhibits on HABS projects; promoting training and education in documentation at the university
level through lectures, workshops and awards; informing the public, Congress and interested organizations
about the HABS program, projects and standards; and providing a means of renewed or continued contact for
the hundreds of HABS alumni throughout the country.
The HABS Foundation also cosponsored the 60th Anniversary dinner for HABS, a HABS lapel pin and
assisted with the establishment of the "HABS Fellows".

HAER PLANS TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
A silver anniversary comes but once in a lifetime and HAER celebrates its 25th by initiating several projects
that explain how industrial heritage has shaped and changed American life over the past twenty-five years.
Sites recorded by HAER serve as the foundation of subsequent preservation efforts that have transformed
communities and the way people think of the industrial workplace. Places like Paterson, New Jersey, Lowell
Massachusetts, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Augusta and Columbus, Georgia, Butte Montana,
Birmingham and Muscle Shoals, Alabama - the industrial heartlands of the United States - are striving to
redefine their images and urban cores based on the recognition, appreciation and, when possible, the
preservation, continued and adaptive use of the industrial and engineering fabric. Steel mills, factories,
foundries, furnaces, and the canal/rail/road transportation corridors that created, connected and served the
fortunes of industrial magnates and worker livelihoods are now beginning to be thoughtfully regarded and
preserved with new insights.
These achievements will be earmarked by specific projects and products such as: 1) expansion of the HAER
database to facilitate use of the Library of Congress Collection; 2) a Twenty-fifth anniversary HAER catalog;
3) revision of the HAER Field Manual; 4) a new HAER historians' manual; 5) a new book on Nineteenth-
century engineering achievements; 6) an accompanying exhibit at the National Building Museum; 7) an exhibit
on HAER's National Park Service Roads & Bridges program, guest-curated by Todd A. Croteau, HAER
Architect, at the Department of the Interior Museum; and 8) a HAER Founders' Award for outstanding
documentation developed for the HAER collection.
HAER and its longtime constituent group, the Society for Industrial Archeology (SIA), have agreed to update
the HAER database. Once entries on the 3,800 sites, structures, and objects recorded by HAER have been
updated, we plan to publish an annotated catalog on the collection. HAER has used field manuals since its
inception in 1969, the last one being issued in 1980. Revision of this document is currently under contract
with former HAER Architect Richard Anderson and is scheduled for completion the end of summer 1994, so
it can be field tested in 1995. In the meantime, HAER staff historians have developed specific guidelines for
HAER field historians that is being field tested during summer 1994. HAER historians Dean A. Herrin,
Ph.D., and Richard J. O'Connor, Ph.D., in cooperation with the American Society of Civil Engineers
(ASCE), are writing a book on outstanding American engineering and technological achievements. This
illustrated book will be based on selections from the 3,800 sites that have been documented by HAER. Craig
N. Strong, HAER Architect, will be working with the HAER staff to develop an exhibit highlighting twenty-
fives years of documenting industrial heritage. Todd A. Croteau is designing a stamp motif that will be
affixed to all drawings, photographs and histories produced during the Twenty-fifth Anniversary year. HAER
hopes to initiate a HAER Founders' Award in recognition of the best documentation submitted to the
collection in any given year. All these activities will be celebrated with a Twenty-fifth Anniversary banquet
at the end of the year.

so as to alert a wide community of the existence of HABS/HAER documentation. University and other
established presses use peer review, reach large audiences, have greater professional credibility, are high
quality and are less costly to the Government than Government publications. The disadvantage of using
university and other established presses is that it is difficult to have a title accepted for publication -- one press
stated that they turn down 400 titles for every title they do publish. These publishing projects are undertaken
through cooperative agreements with, usually, royalties paid to HABS/HAER. Current projects include the
following:
America Preserved: A Checklist of Historic Buildings, Structures, and Sites, Recorded by the Historic
American Buildings Survey and the Historic American Engineering Record, introduction by Georgette
R. Wilson and Marilyn Ibach, foreword by Robert J. Kapsch, Ph.D., and Stephen E. Ostrow, Ph.D.
Published by the Library of Congress Cataloging Distribution Service upon the occasion of the 60th
anniversary of HABS and the 25th anniversary of HAER, and scheduled for release in Fall 1994, the
publication is the first national catalog to the HABS and HAER Collections since Historic America
was published in 1983. In that time, 14,000 structures have been added to the combined collections,
nearly doubling their size. The new catalog will include quantities for the documentation (measured
drawings, large format photographs, written historical and descriptive data, and photo caption pages),
indicate the presence of field records and large format color transparencies, and cite the Library of
Congress shelf-list numbers; each essential for retrieving documentation or ordering reproductions.

HABS/HAER IN THE PUBLIC EYE
The Engineering of Flight: Aeronautical Engineering Facilities of Area B, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,
Ohio, edited by Emma J.H. Dyson, Dean A. Herrin, Ph.D., and Amy E. Slaton. To be published
by the Government Printing Office in Fall 1993.
Few technologies have affected and symbolized modern society as has the development and use of
the airplane, and few facilities have influenced aeronautical technology as much as Wright Field in
Dayton, Ohio, now known as Area B of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Between 1991 and 1993,
HAER produced extensive documentation of the aeronautical engineering features of Wright Field,
including 52 sheets of measured drawings, over 250 large-format photographs, written histories of
56 structures, two brochures, and a published inventory. The inventory, The Engineering of Flight
Aeronautical Engineering Facilities of Area B, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, was published
in 1993, and includes an overview history, and brief descriptions, histories, photographs, and
drawings of 56 of the most historic structures associated with the site. HAER's documentation places
Wright Field's facilities in their historic, scientific and political context, and offers substantial data
for historians of engineering, architecture, and the military.
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, et al.
To be published by Thornwillow Press in the summer of 1994. Thornwillow Press is a small New
York City press dedicated to producing small runs of high quality books. Thornwillow Press
publisher Luke Pontifell became interested in publishing the superb Monticello drawings of HABS
Architect Isabel Yang. In an agreement between Dan Jordan, Executive Director, the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial Foundation, and HABS, Pontifell agreed to publish the HABS Monticello
drawings for the 250th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson in 1993. But what is intended
by Pontifell is to recreate the appearance and feel of the fine eighteenth century architectural
publications: copper plates will be engraved from the HABS drawings and imprinted on to individual
sheets of 100% rag mold-made paper and enclosed in a large format, gold tooled, lined leather
portfolio. The resulting book will be sold to a small number of collectors, perhaps five-hundred.
The price has not yet been determined, but will be high. Should this approach prove successful, Mr.
Pontifell is extremely desirous of producing other books based on HABS/HAER drawings, such as
lighthouses.
World War II and the U.S. Army Mobilization Program: A History of 700 and 800 Series Cantonment
Construction, text by Diane Shaw Wasch and Perry Bush; Keith Landreth, et. al.; and James Glass;
edited by Arlene Kriv.
To be published by the Government Printing Office in the Spring of 1994. In 1985, HABS/HAER
was a signatory to a Programmatic Memorandum of Agreement among the Department of Defense,
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and the National Council of State Historic Preservation
Officers, to govern the mitigation of approximately 25,000 temporary wooden structures remaining
from World War II. While all Department of Defense agencies had such structures, the Army owned
23,000, most of them associated with cantonments barracks, mess halls, administration buildings,
chapels, hospitals and the like, virtually every building type you would find in any town, except those
devoted to children. HABS/HAER produced an overview history of the cantonment construction
(Wasch and Bush) and documented a typical 800 Series camp and representative structures, Fort
McCoy in Wisconsin (Glass). The Army's Construction Engineering Research Laboratory studied
a 700 Series camp, Fort Edwards in Massachusetts (Landreth, et. al.). The publication, funded by
the Legacy Resources Management Program of the Department of Defense, will be a compilation of
some of the documentation produced by those projects.
Forthcoming from AIHP
Three publications are forthcoming in 1994 from the America's Industrial Heritage Project series of HAER
county inventories: Indiana County, Pennsylvania: An Inventory of Historic Engineering and Industrial Sites,
by Richard Quin; Somerset County, Pennsylvania: An Inventory of Historic Engineering and Industrial Sites,
by Ken D. Rose, Ph.D., and Gray Fitzsimons; and Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania: An Inventory of
Historic Engineering and Industrial Sites, by Ken D. Rose, Ph.D., and Gray Fitzsimons.

"HABS Exhibit at Employees and Alumni Association (E&AA)"
HABS/HAER Chief Robert J. Kapsch served on the committee for the Seventy-seventh annual dinner
commemorating the anniversary of the National Park Service, held August 25, 1993. The committee agreed to
focus the Senenty-seventh dinner on Thomas Jefferson and, in particular, National Park Service's commemoration
of Thomas Jefferson. Dan Jordan, Executive Director of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation, agreed to
speak to the group and HABS/HAER mounted a small exhibit of Thomas Jefferson-related structures recently
documented by HABS. The Seventy-seventh annual dinner was held at the Bolling Officers Open Mess, Bolling
Air Force Base, Washington, D.C.
"Saving the Lines"
HAER, CAMM and the Mystic Seaport Museum worked together to recondition the exhibit "Saving the Lines:
HAER Maritime Documentation" for display at Mystic Seaport Museum in Autumn of 1993. The exhibit, which
is intended for travel to other museums, showcases documentation efforts undertaken by the HAER Maritime
Program to interpret the engineering history of ship-based and shore-based resources. Interested curators can
contact Todd A. Croteau, HAER Maritime Coordinator.
"Thomas Jefferson and the Design of Monticello"
On October 6, 1993, the American Architectural Foundation opened an exhibition entitled "Thomas Jefferson and
the Design of Monticello" at the Equitable Gallery in New York City. The HABS drawings on exhibition
represented the culmination of a five year documentation project of Jefferson's masterpiece. The drawings included
plans, sections, elevations and details of the main house, terraces and pavilions. The exhibition will travel to the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Paris, France; and finally, Washington, D.C., as the inaugural exhibit for
the newly renovated Gallery at the American Institute of Architect's Octagon Museum. The exhibition opening was
attended by Robert J. Kapsch, HABS/HAER Chief; John A. Burns, HABS/HAER Deputy Chief; Paul D. Dolinsky,
HABS Chief; and Isabel Yang, HABS Architect and supervisor of the Monticello documentation project.

A new book, "A Quest for Grandeur: Charles Moore and the Federal Triangle" by the late Sally Kress Tompkins sheds light on how
the triangle took shape The memory of Ms. Tompkins, who died in 1989, was well served by "A Quest for Grandeur." And the
book's magnificent photographs, by Jack E. Boucher of the Historic American Buildings Survey, remind you that black and white is
often the best film to use for capturing the character of architecture.

During the summer of 1993, HAER continued its study of the historic Connellsville Coal and Coke Region,
following early historical research projects (1991 and 1992) with architectural and photographic documentation of
the metallurgical coking industry. In the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries, the Connellsville district
was the preeminent coke producing region in the United States and the primary source of fuel for the burgeoning
Pittsburgh steel industry. The delineation project, taking a three-tiered approach, produced a series of maps
depicting the rise, development and decline of coking in the region; detailed studies of beehive and rectangular oven
construction and operation; and a site-specific delineation of the Shoaf works, one of the best-preserved coke sites
in the region.

The "Roving Team" consisted of three architects, an archeologist, and an historian. This intrepid band of
documenters spent the summer roaming the wilds of Birmingham Industrial District, from Irondale to Bucksville,
in order to record the remains of the industrial development that created the Birmingham District. The bulk of their
time was spent on one grand project; Documenting the iron ore mining industry of Red Mountain Ruffner No. 1,
Ruffner No. 2, Sloss No. 2, and Pyne Mine all of which represent roughly 90 years of ore mining along Red
Mountain, virtually the entire period of

Located downtown near the former center of the African-American business district, Sixteenth Street Baptist Church
has been known throughout its history as "everybody's church"; many distinguished Americans such as Langston
Hughes, Paul Robeson, Jackie Robinson, Marian Anderson, Mary McLeod Bethune and W.E.B. DuBois were heard
there. The church began to receive national attention in 1963 when it became the principal site for organizing civil
rights demonstrations led by the Revs. Fred Shuttlesworth and Martin Luther King, Jr. As centers of African-
American demands for equality, churches often became targets of bombing attacks by the Ku Klux Klan and other
white supremacist organizations. The bombing of Sixteenth Street Baptist Church that killed four young girls
attending Sunday school resulted in national and international condemnation of segregation, and was considered a
turning point in the civil rights movement.
The Sixteenth Street Baptist Church has served most of this century as the religious and cultural center of
Birmingham's African-American community, and now also as a landmark to Birmingham's Civil Rights District.
It was designed by Wallace A. Rayfield, a graduate of Howard University and Pratt Institute, and built 1909-1911.
He established the first African-American architectural practice in Birmingham after retiring his teaching position
at Tuskeegee Institute, Alabama. The church was constructed by a successful African-American contractor, Thomas
C. Windham, in an eclectic style reminiscent of Byzantine and Romanesque forms. The church features a first story
in rusticated brown stone and a second story of brick. The facade is dominated by a wide central staircase leading
to a portico flanked by two domed towers. Two prominent features of the church are the large central dome with
clerestory and the stained glass window depicting Christ on the cross, donated by the people of Wales following
the 1963 bombing. Inside, the pews are arranged in gentle arcs divided by three aisles--a plan conducive to the
churches role as both a religious and social center.

Erected in 1910, the original concrete and steel grandstand at Rickwood Field is the oldest baseball grandstand on
its original site in the United States. The grandstand forms the core of a historic ballpark which includes a 1928
Mission-style entryway and other subsequent additions. Modeled after Pittsburgh's Forbes Field, Rickwood is one
of the few grandstands that remain as a testament to the now classic early Twentieth-century style ballpark
construction. The stadium was built by local industrialist A. H. "Rick" Woodward, III for his Birmingham Barons
baseball club. The ballpark was also home to the Black Barons and the Oakland A's farm teams. As the center
for leisure-time activity, the field was an important social and cultural institution in this southern industrial city.
Playing in the Southern Association and later the Southern League, Birmingham's minor league franchises won nine
pennants during their tenure at Rickwood Field. Each era produced its own memorable games and favorite players
for the community at large. Rickwood Field holds a place in the heart for the baseball buff and casual fan alike.
In 1920, the Birmingham Black Barons began playing in the Negro Leagues, and Rickwood rapidly became the
jewel of southern black baseball. The Field served as a central gathering place for Birmingham's black community
as they watched stars such as Mules Suttles, Satchel Paige and Willie Mays fine tune the skills that launched them
into stardom. The Black Barons reached the Negro League World Series three times in the 1940s and continued
playing at Rickwood -- alternating field time with the (white) Barons -- until 1962.
Like all social institutions in
Birmingham prior to 1964,
Rickwood remained racially
segregated in the stands and in the
field. The Barons continued to
attract large crowds before folding
their club in the face of integration
prior to the 1962 season.
Integrated professional baseball
resumed at Rickwood in 1964 and
continued sporadically through
1967.
In the 1920's Rickwood underwent
5
major additions to the present
grandstand and entryway, as well
as the erection of the now defunct
drop-in scoreboard in left field.
Light towers were added in 1936,
and in the 1940s new fences were

The row house at 1318 Vermont Avenue, NW in Washington, D.C., attained its prestige as the headquarters of the
National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) and as the Washington residence of Mary McLeod Bethune, educator
and civil rights leader. The NCNW purchased the building in 1943 to use as a meeting place representing the unity
of women of all races.
Constructed in 1875, the brick house, with its three-story facade, bay window and mansard roof, reflects the Second
Empire style popular at the time. Set on a 23'-wide lot, the building maximizes the use of space and natural light
through its height, projecting bay, and rear ell. The house has survived many transitions -- from a single-family
home for the white upper-middle class in the late nineteenth century, to a boarding house and shop in the early
twentieth century, to the headquarters of the National Council of Negro Women from the 1940s to 1960s, and
currently to a museum and archives. The history of the house exemplifies the transitional nature of the Logan Circle
area.
When Mary McLeod Bethune moved into this house in 1943, she had already established herself as founder and
president of Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach, Florida, and as director of Negro Affairs in the National
Youth Administration under Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Her association with 1318 Vermont Avenue, known
as "Council House," made the building a center of
activity in the 1940s, attracting such prominent
figures as Eleanor Roosevelt and Mary Church
Terrell.
The National Capital Region of the National Park
Service is proposing a cooperative ownership and
administration arrangement with the National
Council of Negro Women, and commissioned the
HABS measured drawings, large-format
photographs, and written history as part of its
stewardship responsibilities.

The Midwest Regional Office of the National Park Service in cooperation with Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore
is sponsoring the Historic American Buildings Survey to record the five 1933 Chicago World's Fair houses in
Beverly Shores, Indiana. These houses were a part of the
"Century of Progress" exhibitions at the fair that featured
innovative designs and materials. Technically-advanced
products and construction methods were used to
demonstrate American manufacturers' and architects'
ideas for a house of the future. After the fair, five of the
original fourteen exhibition homes were sold to Robert
Bartlett, who had them barged across Lake Michigan and
rebuilt in Indiana on the shores of the lake to draw people
to Beverly Shores, a new resort community that he was
beginning to develop. The resort was never fully realized
and after World War II Bartlett sold the houses to local
landowners. In 1986, the houses were listed on the
National Register of Historic Places. Within the next
three to four years the houses are to be incorporated into
Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. HABS will produce
a set of existing condition architectural drawings, large-
format photographs and a written history that will be used
as base documentation for the future renovation,
restoration, maintenance and interpretation of the houses.
The first summer of a two-phase documentation project
began on June 1, 1993, and ran for twelve weeks. This
year's team of four architecture interns and an architect
supervisor sketched, measured and delineated two of the
five houses; the Weiboldt-Rostone House, and the
Cypress Log Cabin and Guest House. The second phase
of the project, scheduled for the summer of 1994, will
produce drawings of the House of Tomorrow, the Armco-
Ferro-Mayflower House and the Florida Tropical House.
Also in 1994, HABS will photograph the houses and
write an architectural history exploring the origins,

Twenty-six structures face Charleston Bay on the South and East Battery. These buildings represent over two
centuries of inhabitation in one of America's greatest historic cities. These National Landmark structures also
represent some of the finest examples of American architecture and as such, their protection is imperative. On
September 22, 1989, they were once again put to the test. Hurricane Hugo battered the City of Charleston, and
the Battery in particular because of its exposure. Luckily, except for minor damage, the twenty-six structures
survived.
The proper management of historic landmarks, though, should not be based upon luck. The Historic Charleston
Foundation in cooperation with HABS/HAER has undertaken an aggressive program to properly document these
structures in case of emergency.
Photogrammetric documentation was chosen because of the rapidity of gathering information that can later be
translated in measured drawings when needed. All of the buildings were photographed using a Linhof Metrika 45
with a 90mm lens. The Metrika is a semi-metric camera that produce 4" X5" negatives on 5" roll film. It is a
specialized camera that was manufactured in Germany and is the first of its kind in the United States.
If catastrophic replacement is necessary, HABS now has the capability to create a measured drawing of the facade
of each of the twenty-six structures.

As a gift to the City of Charleston, South Carolina, the successful merchant, William Enston made the provision
in his estate for the construction of a complex of homes for the sole purpose of making "old age comfortable." In
1888, the executors of his estate created a board of directors to direct and manage the Enston "Village". Nineteen
identical brick houses were constructed in the Victorian-Romanesque style to house the indigent elderly of
Charleston. The city constructed at the same time a Chapel with a bell tower as a memorial to Mr. Enston and his
gift. In the 1930s, the board constructed an additional five houses and an infirmary. The board of directors has
executed its mission faithfully for the last 105 years, but because of increasingly difficult maintenance, extensive
damage from Hurricane Hugo and inflation, the costs have outstripped the proceeds from the Enston endowment.
As a result the board is now negotiating the sale of the complex to the Housing Authority of the City of Charleston.
The Authority will continue Enston's laudable goals by renovating, restoring and enlarging the complex for low-
and moderate-income housing.
This summer's project at the Enston Home will produce a written history and a set of measured drawings. The
history will be written by the Sally Kress Tompkins Fellow Historian and will be used as the foundation information
for a nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Also, a small team of architects will measure and
delineate the complex's twelve-acre site plan and typical examples of the two different house or cottage types.
These documents will be used by the Authority as the base-line documents for their restoration plans.

This is the first year of a two-year project to document the George Washington Memorial Parkway (incorporating
the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway in Virginia, and the Clara Barton Parkway in Maryland). The parkways
form a lengthy scenic and commuter route that winds approximately 40 miles along the Potomac River shorelines
of Virginia and Maryland, near the Nation's capital.
During Summer 1993, the delineators and photographer concentrated on a one-half-mile area of the parkway south
of Key Bridge, where they conducted an intensive documentation of the divided-lane George Washington Memorial
Parkway. They produced four sheets of ink-on-mylar drawings, and about 120 photographs made every 50' to
capture the changing grade, median, vegetation, and vistas in this area. The HABS project historian, who remains
on this project full-time through the end of fiscal year 1994, is producing a comprehensive draft of the parkway's
fascinating history. The HAER project historian produced draft reports on about forty bridges that date from the
late 1920s to 1960s.

The Desert Queen Ranch illustrates responses to the hostile desert environment while testifying to a self-sufficient
subsistence economy supported in part by cattle ranching, farming, mining and ore milling. The Desert Queen
Ranch, which became part of the National Park service in 1969, is a small Mojave Desert canyon 4200' above sea
level. Seven of the eight buildings constructed by William F. Keys from the 1910s through the 1950s are still
standing. The history of the Ranch is related to the beginnings of the development of cattle raising, precious metals
mining, and the growth of nearby communities.
William Keys arrived in the area in 1910 from Death Valley; he worked at the Desert Queen Mine from 1912-14,
and eventually acquired the property for back wages owed him. At that time the site had three 1894 adobe
structures. From 1912-17, Keys built a ranch house complex composed of four sections; additions between 1918-33
expanded its capacity for Keys' wife and seven children.
Except for the machine shop of corrugated metal, all structures now on the site are of single thickness board with
no foundations other than small boulders beneath the corners. Structures include: four tent cabins, the teacher's
house, a school house, a tack house, numerous outhouses, a store, a chicken coop and a small darkroom. East of
the house is a large orchard and garden area, and to the south are corrals. These areas are completely enclosed by
a combination of fences, boulders and walls of cemented quarried stone. Three 1950s concrete dams built by Keys
form a lake. The industrial section of the site contains an array of ore processing mills, salvaged materials, tools,
vehicles and furnishings.

Between August 23-September 11, 1993, a HABS team undertook the first phase of an architectural documentation
project at Hovenweep National Monument and at Mesa Verde National Park. The structures documented were
Square Tower, Hovenweep Castle and Hovenweep House at Hovenweep National Monument and Balcony House
at Mesa Verde National Park.
The project is a unique undertaking to produce a permanent record of existing conditions, and will provide baseline
data for stabilization and restoration work to be performed by the National Park Service stabilization crew under
the leadership of park archaeologist Kathleen Fiero. Because of the fragile nature of original construction, as well
as continuous erosion today, monitoring of these sites is an ongoing concern of archaeologists, architects and
resource managers.
The irregular nature of these structures poses special
challenges in recording plans, elevations, sections and
structural details. For this reason, a Linhoff Metrika
150mm photogrammetric camera was used to record
exterior walls. Field notes for plans and sections were
obtained through surveying and hand-measuring; existing
notes, drawings and photographs in the Mesa Verde files
were also copied for future reference.
In Phase II, planned for summer 1994, measured drawings
of the two sites will be generated in the HABS/HAER
CAD/Photogrammetry studio. The photogrammetric
images will be digitized into AUTOCAD software to
produce the elevations. Plans and sections will be drawn
combining CAD and traditional ink-on-drafting film
techniques.
Following production of the drawings, National Park
Service Denver Service Center Architect Richard
Cronenberger is interested in exploring further applications
of the electronic data, such as the possibility of producing
three-dimensional images and loading the data into a
structural program capable of calculating stresses on such
structures as Square Tower.

Monroe Elementary School is one of two schools in Topeka associated with the landmark Oliver brown et. al. v.
Board of Education Supreme Court Decision of 1954. The Brown decision overturned the Authority of the Plessy
v. Ferguson decision (1896), which provided a legal justification for segregation with its doctrine of "separate but
equal." Until 1954, the Monroe School was one of four elementary schools in Topeka open to black children.
The Monroe School was designed by Topeka architect Thomas Williams in 1926. Most renowned for his Gothic
Revival design for Topeka High School in 1935, Williams designed hundreds of buildings in Topeka and throughout
the State of Kansas. Williams' practice, spanning over forty years, displays a broad range of design influences, as
represented in the array of public schools still standing in the Topeka area.

Documentation of the Washington Monument was begun during the summer of 1993 as the third major project of
the HABS/HAER CAD/Photogrammetry studio, in preparation for the building's restoration and repainting by the
National Park Service, National Capital Region. As the tallest structure ever recorded by HABS, the Washington
Monument posed a number of unique problems. The building's facades were photographed in 50-100' vertical
sections from a National Park Police helicopter, and the resulting photographs were subsequently digitized to
produce the elevations. Measurements of the interior elevations and sections, with its 20' height between platforms,
involved the strenuous hauling of equipment and ladders up and down the 500' height of the shaft. Nonetheless,
the building's size, its unusual proportions, the repetitive nature of many of its details, and the need for both large-
and small-scale drawings have proven the Washington Monument to be particularly appropriate and amenable to
documentation by computer-aided drafting.

Another result of the comprehensive bridge inventories completed by the States is the ability to identify certain
bridge types. Of all basic American bridge types - including rustic covered wooden, stalwart stone or concrete arch,
foursquare steel girder, and diaphanous suspension - the rarest and least appreciated is the cast and wrought-iron
truss. Ohio was a center of bridge manufacturing beginning in the middle of the 19th-century till the end. Located
in Ohio were giants in the business including the Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio, and the King Iron
Bridge Company of Cleveland.
Though industry dominates the urban centers, Ohio remains a lovely agrarian state with a pastoral countryside linked
with a network of farm-to-market roads characterized by many small stream bridges that have not needed upgrading
till recently. This coupled with the fact that Ohio's road development coincided with the peaking of Ohio's bridge
manufacturing industry has resulted in a surprising number of 19th-century bridges surviving. Of these several
hundred bridges, eleven are composite cast and wrought-iron trusses, a remarkable number for a moderately-sized
state (the number is 72 nationwide).
Through the efforts of resident state bridge expert, David Simmons of the Ohio Historical Society, and the interests
of county engineers and officials at the Ohio Department of Transportation, Ohio has one of the best historic bridge
management programs in the country.
1993 was the second of a two-summer project to document the eleven surviving combination bridges. The project
is part of a larger effort to document all 72 surviving cast and wrought-iron bridges in the United States. In Ohio,
HAER received generous assistance from the Ohio Historical Society in logistical support from the state historic
preservation program, Dr. Ray Luce, SHPO and Director, the School of Architecture, Ohio State University, Jose
Oubrerie, Chair, and the Ohio Department of Transportation.

During the late nineteenth century, the U.S. government financed numerous waterway improvement projects and
mandated that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers supervise the improvements. In order to execute this new
responsibility, the Corps increased the size of its fleet, of which dredge boats were an important component.
Among the new ships was the dipper dredge CINCINNATI, commissioned by the Cincinnati District of the Army
Corps of Engineers in 1915. This dredge operated on the Ohio River system from 1915 until the 1970s, first under
Corps management and later owned by a private dredging company, and renamed the KANAWHA.
In its lifetime, the dredge CINCINNATI helped to increase the depth of the Ohio River, build the locks and dams
of the Ohio River, and maintain the river channel, all of which increased the value of the river as a transportation
system. The dredge also worked for private companies aiding their use of the river by digging harbors, clearing
out landings, building wharfs, and digging pilings. Furthermore, the dredge helped companies circumvent the river
as a barrier as gas pipelines and telephone wires were buried underneath the river. All of these jobs helped to make
the rivers more useful, and were an important part of the economic development of southern Ohio and western
Pennsylvania.
The dredge CINCINNATI (KANAWHA) was documented in the summer of 1993 through an overview history and
large-format photography. Several original drawings and company records were also located and preserved.

Sited at the mouth of the Mianus River where it debouches into Long Island Sound, Cos Cob Power Plant is
located on some of the most picturesque southern New England coastal real estate. Cos Cob figured into the
New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad's daring scheme to run trains on electricity. The power source
was steam-generating, coal-fired boilers that drove a battery of turbines generating electricity. The plant at Cos
Cob, equidistant from the terminal points of New Haven and New York City, made possible the nation's first
rail trunk-line operating on high-voltage alternating current.
Closed in 1986 when the railroad could buy energy cheaper form Connecticut Light & Power, local interest
emerged to preserve remnants of this nationally significant plant. Cos Cob is a National Historic Mechanical
and Civil Engineering Landmark designated by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and
the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). In recognition of these interests, the Town of Greenwich,
through its Town Council and First Selectman, John Margenot, and the Commissioner of Public Works,
Maurice Roddy, cosponsored the HAER project with the State Preservation Office, Jack Shannon, director.
In addition to the power plant, the HAER team documented the dam and pumping plant located a short distance
upstream from the power plant that provided water to the boilers. A full package of documentation consisting
of measured and interpretive drawings, large-format photographs, and a 120-page history will assist the Town
of Greenwich in deciding if the power plant or selected buildings and artifacts can be preserved. Though
preservation of the artifact is most desirable, if it proves impractical the documentation will at least preserve
both graphic and written records of this remarkable facility.

This year HAER documented General's Highway located in Sequoia National Park, under the auspices of the
National Park Service (NPS) Roads and Bridges Program. This road is probably the most intact historic park
road maintained by NPS. Completed in 1935, General's Highway is a superb example of the special design
principles applied to road construction in national parks before World War II. The use of consistent design
elements and details that complement the natural surroundings, yet are distinctive enough to emphasize the
special nature of each park, was the concept that created roads expressive of NPS ideals. Natural materials,
attention to scale, and rustic design were employed to blend structures with the environment.
The road was designed to lie gently on the landscape, following natural contours to avoid large cuts and fills.
Post-war road efforts sought expedient solutions at minimal cost and much aesthetic continuity was lost. Roads
were forced onto the landscape to achieve higher speeds, and details were constructed of steel and concrete
rather than native materials. As old roads were upgraded, much of the historic fabric was torn. General's
Highway, however, remains remarkably unscathed by streamlined design. Today, most of the original
alignment and structures are intact, and visitors can see vestigial remnants of watering stations and abandoned
routes along the way.
HAER documented this unique character through historical narrative, photography and interpretive drawings
dealing with landscape sensitivity, CCC constructions and playful road designs that incorporate the wonders
of Sequoia National Park.
A brochure depicting the history of General's Highway was designed by the team and is being printed by the
Sequoia Natural History Association.

HIGHWAY TUNNEL 1930
HAER's multi-year National Park Service (NPS) Roads and Bridges Program headed west again for its sixth
season of road documentation in the national parks. The program is committed to the collection and creation
of data pertaining to all National Register-eligible historic bridges, tunnels, and other road structures maintained
by NPS and the Federal Highway Administration. The 1993 summer project included parks located throughout
the Rocky Mountain region of the NPS. The highest concentration of structures existed in Zion National Park,
located in southwest Utah. Other NPS units evaluated included Bryce Canyon, Arches, Capitol Reef, Rocky
Mountain, and Canyonlands National Parks; Cedar Breaks, Pipe Spring and Colorado National Monuments;
Lake Mead and Glen Canyon National Recreation Areas; and the Old Army Bridge at Fort Laramie National
Historic Site.
Most notable of the roads recorded is the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway in Zion National Park. Completed in
1930, this 25-mile highway was a cooperative effort of the National Park Service, the State of Utah, and the
Bureau of Public Roads (BPR). The road contains two rustic style bridges, three concrete bridges, a handful
of masonry culverts, and two tunnels bored through Navajo sandstone. It features the longest vehicular tunnel
in a national park (5,613 feet) which includes five gallery windows open to the cliff face. The Pine Creek
Bridge is believed to be the only solid masonry-arch built by the BPR for the NPS. The HAER team also made
a dramatic 24-hour miracle trip to the Old Army Bridge located at Fort Laramie National Historic Park,
Wyoming. This 1875 bowstring arch, constructed by the King Iron Bridge Company, is one of a few
remaining examples in the United States. The team developed measured drawings that detail bridge connections
and a unique patented iron pier.
The HAER team also developed written histories on four NPS units, measured and interpretive drawings for
the roads of Zion and of the Fort Laramie Bridge, and photographic documentation of seven NPS units. A
brochure that discusses the road history of the "southwest circle tour" was designed and will be printed for
distribution throughout those parks.

Since passage of the 1978 Surface Transportation Assistance Act, state transportation departments have
identified and evaluated bridges that may be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Most states have completed these inventories to varying degrees of comprehensiveness. Bridges are the first
category of historic structures that have been comprehensively evaluated in the United States. Since
transportation departments usually are not responsible for railroads, the surveys are restricted to vehicular
bridges. In Washington State, however, the initial inventory was completed by the State Preservation Office
where there were no restrictions on coverage. Consequently, Washington is the only state that includes railroad
bridges in its statewide bridge survey.
Since 1986, HAER has been working with the states that have completed inventories to document the
outstanding bridges of the United States. Ohio was the first covered followed by New York and Wisconsin
in 1987, Massachusetts and Arkansas in 1988, Oregon in 1989, and Washington in 1993. The goal is to have
a complete selection of America's outstanding bridges in the Library of Congress collection. The
documentation insures that there is a permanent record since it is unlikely that all these bridges can be
continued in-use, adaptively reused as trail, fishing, or pedestrian bridges or simply by-passed. Documentation
serves to heighten the awareness and appreciation of historic bridges and often leads to local efforts to save
selected spans. Thirty of Washington's historic bridges were documented by the HAER team.

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 of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
Since that summer, HAER has comprehensively documented the site through the production of fifty-two sheets
of drawings, 250 photographs, two brochures, and a historical overview and inventory of structures.
During the summer of 1993, historians Amy Slaton and Dean Herrin completed the editing of the brochures
and the inventory, and prepared the previous summers' work for transmittal to the Library of Congress.

MITIGATIVE DOCUMENTATION PROGRAM
AS LEGISLATED BY CONGRESS
Under the provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, Federal agencies are required
to produce documentation to HABS/HAER standards on buildings, structures, sites, and objects that are listed in
or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and that are threatened with demolition or
substantial alteration by projects with Federal involvement. 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
documentation produced is reviewed by the regional coordinator and transmitted to the HABS/HAER Washington
Office for inclusion in the HABS/HAER Collections at the Library of Congress.

COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
In fiscal year 1993, the Collections Management Section (CMS) successfully carried out its mission to ensure access,
by the general public, to the HABS/HAER Collections and assure documentation in the Collections adheres to the
highest architectural and engineering recording and archival standards. The Collections are available to the public
at the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, where they are housed, serviced and maintained. The
HABS/HAER Collections are managed by Georgette R. Wilson, CMS Administrator, with administrative assistance
from Brian L. Cary, CMS Assistant, and Monica P. Murphy, CMS Historian. Significantly, in fiscal year 1993,
CMS staff assigned 1,523 HABS and HAER survey numbers to new project documentation and transmitted materials
relating to 1,041 historic sites and structures. With these accomplishments, the Collections surpassed the 29,000
mark for historic structures and sites recorded.

HABS/HAER COLLECTIONS ARE WIDELY USED
The HABS/HAER Collections are the most widely used special collections at the Library of Congress, second only
to Civil War era materials. Researchers use the HABS/HAER Collections for their scope and richness of historic
architectural and engineering documentation. Another feature that adds to their popularity is accessibility, because
organization of the materials is standardized and archival.
77
COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
HABS/HAER DATABASE TO BE UPDATED
The HABS/HAER database was established in 1982 and developed for administrative purposes such as indexing
materials and running statistical reports. Now, eleven years after its inception, the database is a crucial
technological link to the future of the HABS/HAER Collections. From its beginning the long-term goal has been
to transfer the database to the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division to make HABS/HAER's
national inventory of historic structures and sites easily accessible to the public and libraries nationwide. In fiscal
year 1993 a working group composed of HABS/HAER and the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs staff,
was established to research, evaluate and select new software to update the HABS/HAER database. The group is
exploring topics such as converting the HABS/HAER database to the MARC format which is used by libraries
nationwide and adding identifiers and associative data about structures and sites (e.g. architect, period and addenda
information). Also in fiscal year 1993, a feasibility study was initiated by the Library of Congress, Catalog
Distribution Services to explore transferring the HABS/HAER Collections to CD-ROM technology.
HABS/HAER COLLECTIONS ON MICROFICHE
The Library of Congress in conjunction with Chadwyck-Healey, an international publishing company, is updating
the HABS/HAER Collections on microfiche. The present undertaking will consist of all HABS documentation,
including drawings, transmitted to the Library of Congress from 1980 up to and including 1988 and HAER
documentation from 1969 up to and including 1988.
HABS/HAER ACTIVITIES AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES
On October 7, 1993 the HABS/HAER celebrated the first anniversary of the establishment of record group (RG)
515 at the National Archives. HABS/HAER takes great pride in the record group designation since one percent
or less of all federal records are eligible for permanency at the National Archives.
In fiscal year 1993, HABS/HAER RG 515 increased holdings with the transfer of 2 posters, 15 awards and
certificates, approximately 275 photographs, two 16 mm films, 3 videos, 5 audio cassettes, 1 reel-to-reel tape, a
copy of the HABS/HAER database and 35 boxes of textual records. These materials are housed, maintained and
serviced at the National Archives at College Park. Researchers have access to HABS/HAER administrative history
records spanning from 1933-1980. Information about the records can be obtained by either calling General
Reference at (301) 713-6800, or writing to or visiting the National Archives at College Park, Adelphi Road, College
Park, MD, 20740-6001.
HABS/HAER RG 515 is an important source
of information for scholars interested in the
administrative history of HABS/HAER and the
history of the preservation movement in the
United States. However, there are some
significant gaps in material which need to be
filled. HABS/HAER is mostly interested in
ephemeral items: posters and flyers;
photographs of HABS/HAER people at work
and play; reports and newsletters, in
particular those from the 1930's to the 1950's;
materials on field team exhibits, etc. If you
have any such item(s) described, and would
like to donate the original or a photographic
copy for inclusion in National Archives Record
Group 515, please contact Monica Murphy,
Collections Management Historian, at 202-
343-9598. Your generosity is greatly
appreciated.

YOUR INVOLVEMENT WITH HABS/HAER
HOW TO USE THE HABS/HAER COLLECTIONS
The HABS/HAER Collections contain documentation (measured drawings, large format photographs and histories)
on approximately 29,000 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;
however, due to the popularity of the
Collection, individuals are advised to call
the Prints and Photographs Division
before visiting the Library. For out-of-
town users, the HABS/HAER Collections
have been made commercially available by
the firm of Chadwyck-Healey on
microfiche and are available in numerous
libraries throughout the United States.
There are numerous catalogs, finding
guides and other publications also
available to the HABS/HAER user. A list
of these can be obtained from the Prints
Library of Congress, Washington, District of Columbia (HABS Photo No. DC-351-2)

and Photographs Division.
SUMMER EMPLOYMENT WITH 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 seven
applicants is selected -- so individuals are encouraged to submit their best work. Applications must be postmarked
by the cut-off date, usually the beginning of March. HABS/HAER also hires a few temporary and term positions;
these are advertised through normal National Park Service 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 INITIATE 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 HABS/HAER Chief, Robert J. Kapsch; HABS/HAER Deputy Chief, John A. Burns, AIA;
HABS Chief, Paul Dolinsky; or HAER Chief, Eric DeLony. Donations of documentation that meet HABS/HAER
standards are also encouraged.

APPENDIX B
The following statement constituted the HABS/HAER budget justification for the Presidentially proposed
appropriation. This appropriation was defeated by the Senate on April 20, 1993. Had it been approved, the
following projects would have been undertaken by HABS/HAER.
"REBUILD AMERICA" SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION
Department of the Interior
National Park Service
National Recreation and Preservation
Historic American Buildings Survey/
Historic American Engineering Record (HABS/HAER)
With the appropriation of the requested $1,409,000, HABS/HAER will slightly more than double its normal summer
hiring program to record significant historic structures throughout the United States. One hundred and ninety three
(193) architects, photographers and historians will be hired to staff twenty-eight (28) projects, over the normal
program, to produce measured drawings, photographs and histories to HABS/HAER standards of nationally
significant structures. These drawings, photographs and histories will we produced to an archival life of 500 years
and will be deposited in the permanent HABS/HAER collections in the Library of Congress. All projects are
scheduled to be completed by September 30, 1993.
Projects include:
Amoskeag Mills and Mill Housing, Manchester, New Hampshire. Amoskeag textile mills, dating to 1838, are
among the most significant textile mills of the United States, of perhaps equal stature to the nineteenth century mills
at Lowell. HABS has extensively documented the mills of Amoskeag but the power drive system, canals, some
of the oldest mills, and the mill housing have not been documented. Drawings, photographs and histories would
assist organizations like the Manchester Historic Association in interpreting and preserving this great mill complex.
Cosponsors would include the Manchester Historic Association, the Manchester Redevelopment Authority, the
Manchester Historic District Commission, the New Hampshire Office of State Planning and the New Hampshire
State Historic Preservation Association. [HAER] Dean A. Herrin, Ph.D., project leader. $70,000 (10 staff).
Auburn, Natchez, Mississippi. National Historic Landmark. Auburn is one of the finest, and possibly the finest,
historic house in a district noted for fine historic buildings. HABS has been documenting Melrose, a historic house,
recently acquired by the National Park Service, in Natchez. This project provides the opportunity to develop
external relationships between the new National Park Service unit and the historic community of Natchez. [HABS]
Joe D. Balachowski, project leader. $50,000 (7 staff).
Bethlehem Steel, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Bethlehem Steel in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is the last complete heavy
forging steel plant remaining in the United States. This project will document the Fritz buildings, noted for their
unique structural members, including #1 Open Hearth/Electric Melt Shop; #2 Machine Shop; #3 Machine Shop;
Iron Foundry and A Blast Furnace, modified in the 1920s from its turn of the century design. Because of the
87
APPENDIX B: "REBUILD AMERICA"
fundamental changes transforming the American steel industry, these facilities may be demolished in the near future.
The documentation produced will provide a permanent record of this technology and will be extremely useful to the
new steel industry museum being developed in Bethlehem. Cosponsors include Bethlehem Steel, Delaware &
Lehigh Navigation Canal National Heritage Corridor Commission and Hugh Moore Historical Park. [HAER] Craig
N. Strong, project leader. $70,000. (10 staff).
Camp Santanoni, New York. National Historic Landmark. One of the great rustic camps of the Adirondacks,
perhaps the greatest, this project is a potential pilot for documenting several existing camps in this region that served
as models for rustic architecture in the National Park Service in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
The buildings are severely threatened by years of neglect and there is a potential for letting all unoccupied sites
return to natural conditions. The New York State Historic Preservation Office will be a cooperating agency.
[HABS] Joe D. Balachowski, project leader. $65,000 (10 staff).
Central Park Bridges, New York, New York. National Historic Landmark. In conjunction with the City of New
York, Department of Parks, HABS/HAER will document the unique cast and wrought iron bridges of Central Park.
The cast iron bridges of Central Park are particularly unusual. In addition, the great New York Bridges of the
engineer Othmar Amman will be documented. An exhibit of this documentation is planned at the Cooper Hewitt
Museum and a publication is planned. [HAER] Eric N. DeLony, project leader. $60,000 (8 staff).
Concrete City near Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. This project will document workers housing constructed in support
of the anthracite industry of northeast Pennsylvania. Concrete City is especially interesting as it was an innovative
attempt, begun in 1911 by the Delaware and Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company (DL&W), to provide
mass-produced houses by combining state-of-the-art architectural style and engineering technique. Houses were built
of poured-in-place concrete and designed in a stream-line modernist style. The team will produce documentation
consisting of large format photographs and histories. Cosponsor is the Delaware & Lehigh Navigation Canal
National Heritage Corridor Commission. [HAER] Craig N. Strong, project leader. $20,000 (3 staff).
Enston Homes, Charleston, South Carolina. The documentation of Enston Homes, Charleston, provides an
excellent opportunity to develop drawings, photographs and histories that will be used by Department of Housing
and Urban Development personnel to rehabilitate this 19th century complex of historic structures originally built
to house the poor so as to provide contemporary housing for the elderly. The William Enston House is located
north of downtown Charleston. Cosponsors would include Historic Charleston, the City of Charleston and the
Department of Housing and Urban Development. [HABS] Fred J. Lindstrom, project leader. $50,000 (7 staff).
Fair Lane, Dearborn, Michigan. National Historic Landmark. The Henry Ford estate in Dearborn, Michigan,
is a National Historic Landmark and is located on the campus of the University of Michigan Dearborn. As the
home of our nation's automotive pioneer, Fair Lane was the backdrop to Henry Ford's genius in creating one of
America's largest industries. The first phase of a four phase project, this project will document the Thomas Edison
designed hydro-electric powerhouse, the greenhouse and other out-buildings. Later years, to be funded by the
University, will document the main mansion, boat house, garden structures, and the Jens Jensen designed landscape.
These records will be used by the University as baseline information for renovation and on-going restoration efforts.
An additional intention of this project is to establish standards and a model by which other properties in the
developing Rouge River Heritage Corridor and the Ford Heritage Trails for emulation and a cohesive thematic
regional recording effort. [HABS] Fred J. Lindstrom, project leader. $50,000 (7 staff).
Folsom Power Plant, California. National Historic Landmark, American Society of Civil Engineers Landmark
and American Society of Mechanical Engineers Landmark. Documentation of the first long distance transmission
power plant in America will assist the State of California Department of Parks in preserving and interpreting this
unique resource, located northeast of Sacramento. Project is to be undertaken in cooperation with the State of
California Department of Parks and the Friends of Folsom, who funded phase I of this project. [HAER] Todd A.
Croteau/G. Gray Fitzsimons, project leaders. $70,000 (10 staff).
88
APPENDIX B: "REBUILD AMERICA"
Hammond-Harwood House, Annapolis, Maryland. National Historic Landmark. One of the finest Georgian
houses in North America, with interiors by William Buckland. The Hammond-Harwood House has been used in
numerous architectural history texts as a premier example of Palladian-influenced structures; its comprehensive
documentation would greatly increase the access of architects and architectural historians to this building, and serve
as the basis for future maintenance, restoration and interpretative efforts. Cosponsors include the Hammond-
Harwood House and Historic Annapolis. [HABS] Joe D. Balachowski, project leader. $50,000 (7 staff).
Innovative Housing of Greater Washington, D.C. The Washington area has been the home of numerous
innovative housing efforts over the last hundred years. Various prototypical houses were constructed throughout
the area to show new and innovative building materials and techniques. Many, perhaps most of these prototypes
still exist. They exhibited techniques and materials such as rammed earth construction, use of copper and enamelled
steel in constructing houses, prefabricated wood panels, aluminum panels, precast concrete and others. These
prototypes were erected in the greater Washington area to influence policy makers. As a group they represent a
valuable collection on the evolution of building technology over the last hundred years, including building
technologies that were never adopted by the building community. This project will document these prototype
structures through drawings, photographs and histories. [HABS/HAER] John A. Burns, project leader. $20,000
(3 staff).
Ironclads Jackson and Chatahoochie, Columbus, Georgia. National Historic Landmark candidate. This project
will record the remaining bottom portion of these ironclads and the unique marine steam engine which powered the
Chatahoochie. These vessels operated on the Chatahoochie River during the Civil War. The produced drawings
will assist the Confederate Naval Museum in Columbus in interpreting and preserving them. [HAER] Todd A.
Croteau, project leader. $50,000 (7 staff).
Jeddo-Highland Breaker and Strip Mining Operations near Eckley, Pennsylvania. The Jeddo-Highland Breaker
near Eckley is one of the last remaining wooden frame anthracite breakers operating in this country. This project
will document its operation through measured drawings, large format photographs and a history. Photographic
documentation of other remaining breakers will be undertaken as well as documentation of strip mining operations.
This project will be undertaken with the cosponsorship of the Delaware & Lehigh Navigation Canal National
Heritage Corridor Commission. [HAER] Craig N. Strong, project leader. $60,000 (8 staff).
Lafayette/St. Louis I Cemeteries, New Orleans, Louisiana. This pilot study to record historic cemeteries for their
architectural merit as well as an overall planned landscape, will help HABS establish standards for this
interdisciplinary subject. These two early nineteenth-century cemeteries are outstanding examples of the
southeastern U.S. practice of above-ground burials in elaborate tombs important for their architectural styling
much based on New Orleans' French foundations -- and association with important individuals. These tombs,
historically used over and over, are threatened by urban development, vandalism, and the poverty of descendants
and funding inherent to cemetery upkeep. HABS documentation will invite locally funded documentation of other
historic New Orleans cemeteries in future years, and well as other significant burial grounds around the country.
[HABS] Sara Amy Leach, project leader. $40,000 (5 staff).
Mark Twain House, Hartford, Connecticut. National Historic Landmark. An exceptional Victorian house built
by one of America's greatest authors, who was also actively engaged in the planning and execution of the house.
This project is an excellent example of HABS assisting a struggling house museum foundation engaged in planning
and execution of a multi-year plan to maintain the historic fabric and to install new mechanical systems. The Mark
Twain Memorial, the project cosponsor, has stipulated the need for HABS comprehensive documentation to initiate
these projects. [HABS] Joe D. Balachowski, project leader. $45,000 (6 staff).
Minneapolis-St.Paul Grain Elevators, Minnesota. Documentation of the historic grain elevators. The loss of
the Washburn A Mill (National Historic Landmark), to fire, illustrated the vulnerability of these historic resources,
central to the historic economic growth of the twin cities. Documentation will include Pillsbury A Mill (National
Historic Landmark), Peavey-Haglin Experimental Concrete Grain Elevator (National Historic Landmark and an
American Society of Civil Engineers Landmark), and other historic structures. This project will produce measured
89
APPENDIX B: "REBUILD AMERICA"
drawings of these structures using HABS/HAER's new computer assisted drafting/photogrammetry capability. This
project will assist the Minnesota Historical Society to develop plans for interpreting and preserving historic resources
in the Mississippi riverfront area. Project to be undertaken in cooperation with the Minnesota Historical Society.
[HAER] Eric N. DeLony, project leader. $70,000 (10 staff).
Muscle Shoals/TVA, Alabama. Documentation of Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian house at Florence, Alabama, and
engineering structures associated with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Although final structures for
documentation have not yet been selected, candidates include the Wilson Dam (National Historic Landmark),
hydroelectric works at Muscle Shoals and the TVA nitrate production facilities. Urban planning is also an important
component of the history of this area. Project is to be undertaken in cooperation with the Tennessee Valley
Authority and the Alabama Historical Commission. [HABS/HAER] Eric N. DeLony and Paul D. Dolinsky, project
leaders. $110,000 (12 staff).
Nachitoches, Louisiana. Nachitoches is the location of the Preservation Technology Center mandated by Congress.
This project will document the historic structure selected to house the new Preservation Technology Center at
Northwestern University. The drawings, photographs and history produced will be used by personnel of
Northwestern University in their efforts to rehabilitate this structure for the Preservation Technology Center.
[HABS] Joe D. Balachowski, project leader. $50,000 (7 staff).
Northwest Heritage Project, Washington, Oregon and Idaho. The timber industry of Pacific Northwest has several
historic structures for the processing of lumber and as the product of the lumber industry. Built of wood, these
structures are at risk from fire. This project will document these structures to HABS/HAER standards. Final
project selection has not been made but candidates include the last remaining timber blimp hanger, possibly the
largest heavy timber structure ever constructed, at Tillamook Naval Air Station, Tillamook, Oregon (a structure that
could house eight Navy blimps) and the 25 mile long abandoned flume paralleling the Columbia River. Both
structures are subject to fire and the companion structure to the Tillamook blimp structure was destroyed by fire
in 1992. A third candidate is the Coeur l'Alene silver mining area of Idaho the richest silver mining district in
the United States. Project is to be undertaken in conjunction with the State Historic Preservation Office. [HAER]
G. Gray Fitzsimons, project leader. $70,000 (10 staff).
Photo-documentation of Select Historic Districts, Maryland. This project, in conjunction with the Maryland
Association of Historic District Commissions, is intended to develop a model technique for documenting historic
districts to HABS/HAER standards. Although historic districts are protected by National Register listing and
preservation easements, rarely are these backed up by adequate documentation that would permit enforcement. A
select number of commissions will be used to develop a method of photo-documenting a historic district. [HABS]
Kim Hoagland/Catherine C. Lavoie, project leaders. $25,000 (3 staff).
Rio Grande, Texas. The State Historic Preservation Office and other organizations, have been developing
preliminary plans for the preservation of vernacular and historic irrigation resources within the Rio Grande River
Valley for the purpose of promoting tourism. Documentation of these historic structures would provide the baseline
data needed to forward these plans. Project would be in cooperation with these organizations. [HABS] Joe D.
Balachowski, project leader. $50,000 (7 staff).
Route 66 in New Mexico. This HABS documentation of Route 66 focuses on the 399-mile leg in New Mexico,
one of eight states through which the 2,400-mile "Mother Road" travels. Route 66 was designated by Congress as
a nationally significant highway for its status as the first federal U.S. highway, as well as its association with Dust
Bowl migrants and post-World War II popular tourism, through its "Route 66 Study Act of 1990." The Route 66
legislation, authored by Sen. Pete Domenici (NM), does not necessarily include documentation, however. Not only
is the roadside architecture (tourist courts, filling stations, etc.) threatened by neglect, but this genre of early
twentieth-century auto-related buildings is not adequately represented in the HABS Collection at the Library of
Congress. This project has the potential for attracting subsequent documentation in the other seven states (Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, California) Route 66 crosses. If funds permit, Arizona will also be
included in this project. [HABS] Sara Amy Leach, project leader. $30,000 (4 staff).
90
APPENDIX B: "REBUILD AMERICA"
Single Brothers' House, Salem, North Carolina. National Historic Landmark. One of the oldest half-timbered
buildings in the United States, the Single Brothers' House was built in 1769 and had a large 1786 addition. This
National Historic Landmark is at the heart of a Moravian community and is operated today by Old Salem, Inc.
Besides bringing an important piece of architecture into the HABS collection, this project might lead to
documentation of some of the other 70-odd buildings in the historic district, which is also designated a National
Historic Landmark. Old Salem, Inc. is the project cosponsor. [HABS] Kim Hoagland, project leader. $50,000
(7 staff).
Slater Mill, Pawtuckett, Rhode Island. National Historic Landmark and American Society of Civil Engineers
Landmark. Slater Mill was the first American textile mill built. This project would complete work undertaken by
HAER in 1991 to comprehensively record this structure to HAER standards. The drawings, photographs and
history will be used to interpret and preserve this structure. Blackstone River Heritage Corridor is a cosponsor of
this project. Other mill hamlets in the Blackstone River Valley will be examined for possible documentation.
[HAER] Dean A. Herrin, Ph.D., project leader. $60,000 (8 staff).
Sparrows Point, Baltimore, Maryland. Sparrows Point, a major production facility of the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, has the last American open hearth furnace, constructed in 1957. This project will document that
furnace and related structures. The furnace is still on standby and if placed back in production will be
photographically documented in that state also. This furnace may be demolished in the coming year. Cosponsor
is Bethlehem Steel. [HAER] Eric N. DeLony, project leader. $5,000 (1 staff).
Steamship Ticonderoga, Shelburne Museum, Vermont. National Historic Landmark. The last "walking-beam"
single-piston steam powered vessel in the United States, this side wheeler was active on Lake Champlain for
excursions from 1904 to 1953. This project would complete the second phase of recording this vessel. These
measured drawings will be used for its subsequent restoration by the Shelburne Museum, the cosponsoring
organization. [HAER] Todd A. Croteau, project leader. $39,000 (5 staff).
Tudor Place, Washington, D.C. National Historic Landmark. Located in Washington, D.C., Tudor Place is one
of the finest Neoclassical structures in the United States. Not only a National Landmark, it has the distinction of
having the first easement in the United States granted by the Department of the Interior to insure its preservation.
The project is designed as a multi-year effort to document the main house, outbuildings and landscape, all of which
are intact. This is also viewed as an excellent opportunity for experimenting with innovative approaches to
documentation, in particular computer-aided drafting for landscape as well as structure. Tudor Place will serve as
cosponsor. [HABS] Fred J. Lindstrom, project leader. $50,000 (7 staff).
Wheeling, West Virginia. This project is a continuation of two summer documentation projects conducted in 1976
and 1991. This project will examine specific architectural and ornamental elements of documented structures and
will record them through drawings and photography and through written histories describing the Wheeling industries
that produced these elements. Historic Wheeling will be a cosponsor. [HABS] Joe D. Balachowski, project leader.
$30,000 (4 staff).

The following handout was prepared by HABS/HAER to provide basic facts pertaining to HABS/HAER and its
involvement in the President's Economic Stimulus Initiative. Copies were distributed to numerous congressional
offices, news organizations and other interested parties. The Economic Stimulus Initiative was defeated in the Senate
on April 20, 1993.
FACT SHEET
Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record
(HABS/HAER)
National Park Service
$1.4 million supplemental appropriation for economic stimulus
Issue: In the debate over the economic stimulus supplemental appropriations, a new report stated that this initiative,
called "Rebuild America," contained $1.4 million," to draw pictures of old buildings." The news report was
referring to a $1.4 million request by the Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering
Record (HABS/HAER), a small Division of the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. The
request for appropriations would fund thirty (30) HABS/HAER projects across the nation. The implication of these
news reports was that this funding was frivolous or unnecessary, which is not the case.
HABS/HAER Program: HABS/HAER is widely considered one of the finest historic preservation programs in
the United States. HABS/HAER was initiated in 1933 to employ out-of-work architects and historians in worthwhile
public service. Its mission is to develop a comprehensive graphic and written record of this nation's architectural
and engineering heritage. Over the last sixty (60) years, HABS/HAER has documented 29,000 historic structures
through the use of measured drawings, large format photographs and histories. These documents are prepared to
a 500 year service life and are deposited in the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division where they
are made accessible to the American public. It is the most widely used special collection in the Library of
Congress.
Bipartisan Recognition: HABS/HAER has enjoyed widespread bipartisan support for sixty years for the nature
and quality of its work. Examples include:
December 4, 1992, Presidential Historic Preservation Award, signed by President George Bush, one of the few
public programs to receive this award.
Senate Joint Resolution 173, "That HABS be commended for its substantial contributions to our understanding of
the history and heritage of this Nation," signed by President Ronald Reagan.
Selection to undertake the documentation of The White House, considered the most important activity
commemorating the 200th anniversary of the laying of the corner stone of The White House, undertaken during the
Bush Administration.
Crowninshield Award recipient, the highest award of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. HABS/HAER
was the only public agency to do so.
Professional Nature of HABS/HAER Documentation: HABS/HAER documentation is considered the first step
in restoring, rehabilitating, preserving or otherwise conserving this nation's historic structures and buildings.
HABS/HAER standards for documentation are recognized as the professional criteria in the field by the National
Park Service, the American Institute of Architects, the Association for Preservation Technology and other groups.

Average Price per HABS/HAER Job: $7,000
Why HABS/HAER Projects?: HABS/HAER conducts recording projects for the following reasons:
Catastrophic Loss Protection Historic structures are susceptible to fire, storm, earthquake and other natural forces.
HABS/HAER records are the basis for restoration. On January 23, 1982 Franklin Roosevelt's birthplace in Hyde
Park, New York, New York, burned. The following day Congress appropriated funds to restore the building.
HABS drawings and photographs, prepared forty years earlier, were the basis for that restoration. This is one
example of many such uses of HABS/HAER documentation for disaster insurance purposes.
Cultural Resource Management - HABS/HAER documentation is considered the first step in the management of this
nation's great cultural resources. HABS/HAER documentation for Monticello, for example, was funded as part
of a much larger program for the restoration and maintenance of this important structure.
Information The HABS/HAER Collections in the Library of Congress are the most widely used special collection.
HABS/HAER drawings, photographs and histories are widely used in publications, reports and other studies. One
third to one half of all historic buildings documented by HABS/HAER no longer exist. The HABS/HAER
Collections serve, in most cases, the only source of adequate information on these structures.
Training - HABS/HAER has trained over 3,000 young professionals. For most, this was their first professional
training and most remain in the field of historic preservation.
Practical Value of HABS/HAER Recording:
Used for restorations, such as the restoration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Birthplace, referenced above.
100% guaranteed outlay by September 30, 1993 (because of the use of summer hires and not contracts or grants).
HABS/HAER leverages funds by developing historic preservation projects. Immediately, approximately 50% of
funds will be met in cash or in-kind services. In long-term, HABS/HAER projects tend to develop historic
preservation projects that require millions to implement. HAER documentation of Sloss Furnace, in 1976, for
example, led to a local bond issue that developed a multi-million dollar cultural center for Birmingham, Alabama.
Similar recordings have had similar results in numerous other locations.
Usage of the HABS/HAER Collections is a real indication of the practical value of these collections to the
American public they are the most widely used collections at the Library of Congress.

Sixtieth Anniversary Accomplishments
Robert J. Kapsch, Chief
The 60th anniversary of HABS, in 1993, allows us an opportunity to review HABS' accomplishments over the last
ten years.
Overall: Ten years ago it was not at all certain that HABS would continue to exist. Today, HABS couldn't be
healthier.
Records Transmitted: Over the last ten years HABS, and its sister program HAER, have transmitted
documentation on 14,000 structures essentially doubling the size of the largest collection of its kind. This was done
through the transmittal of 9,000 measured drawings, 78,000 large-format photographs, and 45,000 historical and
data pages. Transmittal to the permanent HABS collection at the Library of Congress continues at approximately
1,000 historic structures per year, or approximately twenty times the pre-fiftieth anniversary rate.
Elimination of Backlog: At the fiftieth anniversary, the biggest problem facing HABS was the elimination of its
very large backlog, consisting of 150 projects extending back twenty years. This was done through completing each
of the backlog projects and transmitting the resulting documentation to the permanent HABS collection at the Library
of Congress. Once the backlog was eliminated, a new backlog was not allowed to develop.
Funding: Prior to the HABS fiftieth anniversary, HABS had its funding severely reduced by the Heritage
Conservation and Recreation Service. Funding was no longer available to support HABS recording. Over 10
million dollars was raised from public and private funding sources to continue HABS and HAER recording
activities. Currently HABS/HAER receives approximately $1.5 million per year from public and private sources -
- one of the few Federal agencies to receive such financial support. Two thirds of our funding comes from outside
public and private support.
Student Training: Over 1,000 architectural students have received HABS and HAER training between the fiftieth
and sixtieth anniversaries of HABS. We also initiated a program to include architectural students from other
countries on HABS recording teams. To date over 100 international students have received this training.
Quality of Projects: Prior to the fiftieth anniversary, considerable comment was directed at the marginal nature
of the structures documented by HABS. They didn't, in large measure, seem nationally significant. Today, HABS
is currently completing or undertaking projects on the White House, Monticello, the Lincoln and Jefferson
Memorials, the Washington Monument, Mesa Verde cliff dwellings, the Battery at Charleston and numerous others.
We continue to keep HABS focused on nationally important historic structures.
Contributions to Knowledge: Publication by university presses is one means of assessing how much a program
contributes to a field. Competition to get published is tough. One publisher informed us that they turn down 400
art and architectural titles for every one published. Since the fiftieth anniversary, HABS and HAER have had
numerous successful publications. In the last several months the following publications have been issued: A Quest
for Grandeur (Smithsonian Institution Press), Landmarks of Prince George's County (Johns Hopkins University
Press), and Landmark American Bridges (ASCE Press), joining other HABS/HAER publications such as Recording
Historic Structures (AIA Press), Historic America (GPO), Industrial Eye (Preservation Press), Record in Detail
(University of Missouri Press), and others. We will continue to emphasize publications as a contribution to
knowledge about American architecture.
Dissemination of Knowledge: It is not enough to develop architectural knowledge, it is also necessary to develop
means for the dissemination of that information to the people that need it. HABS continues to be the most widely
used special collection in the Library of Congress. Since the fiftieth anniversary of HABS, we have worked
95
APPENDIX D: ADDRESS To AIA COMMITTEE ON HISTORIC RESOURCES
cooperatively with a private firm, Chadwyck-Healey, to disseminate HABS and HAER records in microfiche. Over
100 institutions have purchased this microfiche. Beginning at the 50th anniversary, we developed a computerized
database of HABS/HAER utilizing donated funds the first computerized cultural resource database in the National
Park Service. That database is still current and plans are now being developed to make it available in CD-ROM
form. Exhibits are another way of disseminating architectural knowledge embodied in HABS documentation. Since
the fiftieth anniversary, HABS has greatly increased its participation in exhibits, such as the exhibit on The White
House, undertaken with the American Architectural Foundation, or the exhibit, "Thomas Jefferson and the Design
of Monticello," undertaken by The American Architectural Foundation, The Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation
and The Equitable Life Assurance Society scheduled to open in New York on October 6, 1993.
Cooperative Activities With the American Institute of Architects: Many of the HABS activities undertaken since
the fiftieth anniversary have been done in cooperation with the American Institute of Architects. One of the most
successful has been the Charles E. Peterson Prize for the best set of drawings prepared to HABS standards and
donated for inclusion in the HABS Collection. Since the fiftieth anniversary dinner at AIA Headquarters in 1983,
where the first Peterson Prizes were awarded, over 1,015 students from 47 colleges and universities have
participated by completing 213 entries. They produced 2,229 measured drawings for inclusion in the HABS
collection. The Charles E. Peterson Prize inspired two other competitions at the state level: The Walter E.
Burkhardt Prize, sponsored by the Alabama AIA chapters, and The Kenneth E. Anderson Prize, sponsored by the
Texas AIA Chapters. HABS has worked cooperatively with AIA on various other projects, most noticeably for the
recording of The White House for the 200th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of The White House.
Before the fiftieth anniversary, the standards of HABS were disseminated by Government publication and in xerox
form. Since then, we have published the standards of HABS in Recording Historic Structures (John Burns, Ed.),
used by many schools as a text for HABS documentation. This publication was published by AIA Press and has
already seen its second printing. We expect that AIA Press will keep this book in print for the next several decades.
Development of New Technology for Recording: At the fiftieth anniversary, members of AIA were urging HABS
to develop its capability in photogrammetry to augment the traditional hand-measured techniques. HABS recently
developed the CAD/Photogrammetry, the only one of its kind in existence. A Linhof Metrika 45 camera is used
to produce images which are entered into the computer through a digitizing table. Proprietary software rectifies
the image and feeds the data to AUTOCAD which produces HABS quality drawings. This system has been or is
currently being used on historic structures that are not amendable to hand-measured techniques, such as the Lincoln
and Jefferson Memorials; the Washington Monument; the Statue of Vulcan in Birmingham, Alabama; and others.
This CAD/Photogrammetry capability is being used to train professionals. An example of this is John Burns'
demonstrations at the AIA annual meeting in Chicago.
Summary: At its fiftieth anniversary in 1983, HABS had just emerged from a brutal bureaucratic battle under the
Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service. Many members of the AIA CHR supported HABS throughout this
battle. Although HABS was not eliminated, we lost half of our appropriations and staff and with it our ability to
field summer teams. With the fiftieth anniversary, it was clear that we needed a new way to do business. We
found that new way through the use of external funds, both public and private. The backlog was eliminated and
we focused HABS recording on nationally significant structures. Publications and exhibits were emphasized. And
although we had no equipment funds, HABS developed a unique capability in CAD/Photogrammetry that is being
utilized to help train the profession in this technique. As a result, at its sixtieth anniversary, HABS is alive, well
and doing what was originally intended by its founders in 1933.
