Park Practice GUIDELINE Policy & Ping. 11/63 35-1 a NATIONAL Park Practice GUIDELINE Policy & Ping. 11/63 35-1 A NATIONAL PROGRAM FOR THE PRESERVATION OF HISTORIC SITES AND BUILDINGS by Herbert E. Kahler, Chief, Division of History and Archeology, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, Washing­ ton, D. C. The Congress in 1935 declared that it is a national policy to preserve for public use historic sites, buildings, and objects of national signifi­ cance for the inspiration and benefit of the people of the United States. To carry out such a policy it is first of all necessary to determine which sites, buildings, and objects are of national importance. To make this determination a Nationwide survey has been in progress, scheduled for completion in 1966. The field of American history has been divided into periods or themes, ranging in time from Early Man almost to the present. The study and identification of historic sites and buildings has been a cooperative process in which State and local agencies, and professional historians and architects have shared their knowledge with staff histor­ ians of the Service. These studies are evaluated by a Consulting Committee of eight persons eminent in the fields of history, architecture, and archeology. Their findings are submitted to the Advisory Board on National Park, Historic Sites, Buildings, and Monuments for recom­ mendations to the Secretary of the Interior. This double screening by the Consulting Committee and the Advisory Board is to assure that no important site or building is overlooked and that no substandard site is included in the Registry of National Historic Landmarks. From this list a historic site or building may be selected occasionally to fill gaps in the National Park System, following appropriate legislative action by the Congress. The following criteria are used by the Consulting Committee and the Advisory Board in judging the national historical significance of sites and buildings. 1. Structures or sites at which events occurred that have made an out­ standing contribution to, and are identified prominently with, or which best represent, the broad cultural, political, economic, military, or social history of the Nation, and from which the visitor may grasp the larger patterns of our American heritage. 2. Structures or sites associated importantly with the lives of outstand­ ing historic personages. 3. Structures or sites associated significantly with an important event that best represents some great idea or ideal of the American people. 4. Structures that embody the distinguishing characteristics of an archi­ tectural type specimen, exceptionally valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction; or a notable structure representing the work of a master builder, designer, or architect.

  • The Springfield Armory Historic Background
    The Springfield Armory Historic Background Report by Todd Jones, Historic Preservation Specialist Federal Emergency Management Agency October 2011 The Springfield Armory Exceptionally unique among the structures in Springfield, MA, the Springfield Armory has stood on Howard Street for over one hundred years. Yet, with its impressive medieval architecture, the building could easily pass for a centuries-old European castle. It may appear as a much unexpected feature on the skyline of a Connecticut River Valley city, but considering Springfield’s illustrious history as a manufacturer of war goods, a castle is actually quite an appropriate inclusion. The Armory is located today at 29 Howard Street. It is surrounded by a dense urban community characterized by commercial interests, with parking lots, a strip mall, and an apartment block included as its primary neighbors. The area transitioned from an urban working class residential neighborhood to its present commercial character during the mid and late twentieth century.

  • Risk Assessment: Asset Identification & Characterization
    This Working Draft Submittal is a preliminary draft document and is not to be used as the basis for final design, construction or remedial action, or as a basis for major capital decisions. Please be advised that this document and associated deliverables have not undergone internal reviews by URS. SECTION 3b - RISK ASSESSMENT: ASSET IDENTIFICATION & CHARACTERIZATION SECTION 3b - RISK ASSESSMENT: IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ASSETS Overview An inventory of geo-referenced assets in Rensselaer County has been created in order to identify and characterize property and persons potentially at risk from the identified hazards. Understanding the type and number of hazards that exist in relation to known hazard areas is an important step in the process of formulating the risk assessment and quantifying the vulnerability of the municipalities that make up Rensselaer County. For this plan, six key categories of assets have been mapped and analyzed using GIS data provided by Rensselaer County, with some additional data drawn from other public sources: 1. Improved property: This category includes all developed properties according to parcel data provided by Rensselaer County and equalization rates from the New York State Office of Real Property Services. Impacts to improved properties are presented as a percentage of each community’s total value of improvements that may be exposed to the identified hazards. 2. Emergency facilities: This category covers all facilities dedicated to the management and response of emergency or disaster situations, and includes emergency operations centers (EOCs), fire stations, police stations, ambulance stations, shelters, and hospitals. Impacts to these assets are presented by tabulating the number of each type of facility present in areas that may be exposed to the identified hazards.

  • National Park Service, Department of the Interior
    STATEMENT OF JANET SNYDER MATTHEWS, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR FOR CULTURAL RESOURCES, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BEFORE THE NATIONAL PARKS, FORESTS, AND PUBLIC LANDS SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON NATURAL RESOURCES, CONCERNING H.R. 929, A BILL TO ESTABLISH THE LAND BETWEEN THE RIVERS NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. March 15, 2007 Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to present the Department of the Interior’s views on H.R. 929, a bill to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to establish the Land Between the Rivers National Heritage Area in the State of Illinois. The Department does not support enactment of this bill at this time. Before a national heritage area is designated by Congress, a comprehensive feasibility study should be completed that evaluates an area by applying criteria developed by the Department and Congress. The study undertaken by Southern Illinois University provides a good beginning in identifying the many stories and variety of resources found within the region. However, we believe that H.R. 929 should not be enacted until an adequate feasibility study is completed that yields the necessary information to demonstrate that the proposed national heritage area meets the criteria for designation. We also believe that individual bills proposing to designate new national heritage areas should be deferred until program legislation is enacted that establishes guidelines and a process for the designation of national heritage areas. Last year, the Administration sent to Congress a legislative proposal to establish such guidelines and a process for designation.
