End of Project Directory PRESERVATION PLAN - DRAFT Ferracute Machine Company Site, Bridgeton, New Jersey Watson & Henry Associates Page iv January 2006 PRECIS This Preservation Plan presents architectural and engineering findings and recommendations for the Ferracute Machine Company site in Bridgeton, New Jersey. Built in 1904 following a fire that destroyed an earlier complex, the Office and Main Machine Shop are the primary surviving structures of the press manufactory founded, owned and operated by Oberlin Smith, one of the country’s leading industrialists and inventors in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The company operated at the site until 1968; since then the buildings have been deteriorating through periods of vacancy and marginal use. The South Jersey Economic Development District commissioned this Preservation Plan on behalf of the property owner, the City of Bridgeton, to provide the framework and guidance for development of this important resource, including identification of major stewardship issues, and potential adaptive reuses. This report, the first step in the preservation of the property: x Reviews briefly the history and background of the Ferracute Machine Company, buildings and site; x Identifies significant characteristics of the buildings and site; x Documents the current state of the buildings’ architectural materials and overall structural condition; x Recommends appropriate historic preservation treatments; x Presents the outcome of a community workshop held to explore possible adaptive reuse strategies; x Presents an architectural assessment of adaptive reuse strategies; x Presents conceptual construction budgets for implementing the recommendations. The Background and Historical Analysis presents the background and historical context of the buildings and site. It includes an architectural description of both the Office and the Main Machine Shop and discussion of the buildings’ significance. The section concludes that the buildings and site possess national significance for their association with Oberlin Smith, in addition to: x Historical significance at the national level as the site of a company that perfected the operation of presses for cutting, punching, bending, drawing, stamping and coining of sheet metal, and that supplied the presses used in the industrialization of the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Ferracute supplied presses to such manufacturing giants as Western Electric Company, General Electric, Eastman Kodak, McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, Winchester Repeating Arms Company, International Harvester, J.P. Morgan Company, Victor Talking Machine Company, Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Studebaker, Packard, Cadillac, and Chrysler, among many others; x Historical significance for the part it played in the growing world dominance of American manufacturing in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through its supplying of presses to countries throughout the world, including Australia, England, Holland, Hungary, Germany, Norway, Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, India, Peru and Japan, and the supply and installation of entire minting operations in China and Bolivia; x Historical significance for its contributions to the war effort for both the First and Second World Wars, including supplying the bulk of the presses shipped to England on an emergency basis for the replacement of ammunition abandoned at Dunkirk; x Historical significance as the site of Oberlin Smith’s invention of the magnetic recording of sound; x Cultural significance for its pioneering role in the development of “scientific management,” theories that called for the development of the efficiency of each individual worker, and thus the overall efficiency of the manufacturing operation; x Architectural significance at a local level as an example of the architectural expression of a company of highly-skilled and experienced mechanical and manufacturing engineers. The Background and Historical Analysis section traces the history of the firm and the site including: x The firm’s founding in 1863 by a twenty-three-year-old Oberlin Smith; x Its expansion and move to the present site in the 1870s; x The exhibition at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia and Ferracute’s venture into the international market; PRESERVATION PLAN Ferracute Machine Company Site, Bridgeton, New Jersey Watson & Henry Associates Page v October 2007 Precis x The firm’s growth during the bicycle fad of the 1890s; x Its growth in the area of coining presses, including setting up entire mints in China and Bolivia in the 1890s; x The loss of the physical plant through fire in 1903; x The construction

Gilligan Christopher R. Sabick Patricia N. Reid 2019 1 American Battlefield Protection Program Grant 2287-16-009: Document Review and Archaeological Assessment Abstract As part of a regional collaboration between the City of Plattsburgh, New York, and the towns of Plattsburgh and Peru, New York, the Maritime Research Institute (MRI) at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum (LCMM) has been chosen to investigate six historical Revolutionary War and War of 1812 sites: Valcour Island, Crab Island, Fort Brown, Fort Moreau, Fort Scott, and Plattsburgh Bay. These sites will require varying degrees of evaluation based upon the scope of the overall heritage tourism plan for the greater Plattsburgh area. The MRI’s role in this collaboration is to conduct a document review for each of the six historic sites as well as an archaeological assessment for Fort Brown and Valcour Island. The archaeological assessments will utilize KOCOA analysis outlined in the Battlefield Survey Manual of the American Battlefield Protection Program provided by the National Park Service. This deliverable fulfills Tasks 1 and 3 of the American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) Grant 2887-16-009.

  • Architectural Studies of the Fortresses in the Third Cataract and Southern Dongola Reach Region 234 R Ł, B W, M W A C
    INSTITUT DES CULTURES MÉDITERRANÉENNES ET ORIENTALES DE L’ACADÉMIE POLONAISE DES SCIENCES ÉTUDES et TRAVAUX XXVII 2014 R Ł, B W, M W A C Architectural Studies of the Fortresses in the Third Cataract and Southern Dongola Reach Region 234 R Ł, B W, M W A C Explorations within the area of the Third Cataract were conducted as a part of the rescue surveys preceding the building of a new dam on the Nile. The research concentrated on two fortresses situated on the left bank, in the vicinity of two modern settlements – Shofein and Marakul. Both fortresses were excavated and described during earlier exploration of that region from the 80s.1 Last season was also the time of architectonic research of two fortresses located in the Southern Dongola Reach: Bahit and Deiga.2 This work had a limited character and its main purpose was to make a documentation and describe architectural characteristics of the preserved walls.3 SHOFEIN Close to a rectangle with proportions of 1:2, stone fortress embankment was built on a steep rocky slope near the narrowed river section, on the North-South axis. It occupies the slope falling about 30 degrees towards the road and the Nile fl owing nearby (Fig. 1). The northern curtain with bastions is situated at the upland edge, while the southern one is located a little above the road level (Fig. 2). From the West, the stronghold is additionally defended by natural crack. Within a small distance from the northern curtain, there is an upheaval overlooking the surrounding, in a close vicinity of the northern curtain.
