December 1, 2004 Page 2 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Numerous people contributed to this project, lending their time and expertise to Robinson & Associates’ efforts. We would like to thank Superintendent William Sanders and his staff for their assistance during two research visits to the park. Especially to be commended are Cultural Resource Manager Rebecca Ross and Chief Ranger Jeffrey Collins. Ross provided photocopies of numerous documents held in Hopewell’s library, facilitated the review of hundreds of documents and photographs held in the park’s library and archives, and answered a constant stream of questions. Collins efficiently guided a tour of resources outside the historic site’s core, as well as outside the park, that communicated important aspects of park history in their appropriate setting, such as the Civilian Conservation Corps era. Seasonal employee John Cole acted as guide for a visit to an important resource outside the park, Mount Frisby Church, which is owned by his family. Staff at the National Park Service’s Northeast Regional Office in Philadelphia provided valuable assistance, especially Project Manager Dr. Clifford Tobias, who offered insightful input throughout the term of the study; facilitated communication between the park, the regional office, and the consultants; and reviewed monthly reports and draft submissions. He also consolidated reviewers’ comments on drafts of this study, which greatly aided the revision of the HRS. Robinson & Associates would like to thank all the reviewers of the study’s drafts for their close attention to the text and thoughtful guidance, especially Ross, Collins, Tobias, Paul Weinbaum, Jed Levin, and Nancy Brown. Their special attention to previously unanalyzed resources – CCC-era archeological sites, Mission 66 construction, and Hopewell Furnace’s collections of artifacts and documents – enabled Robinson & Associates to provide an informed evaluation of their significance. Historical Architect Stephen Clark allowed the consultants access to Hopewell’s List of Classified Structures, provided photocopies of several drawings from the park’s Mission 66-era construction, and perceptively reviewed early drafts of the HRS. Archives Specialist Gail Farr of the Northeast Branch of the National Archives in Philadelphia conducted research in the branch’s internal database prior to a research visit that facilitated efficient review of the numerous documents held at the repository. Thanks should also be accorded to Dr. Leah Glaser, who shared research experience gained in compiling the administrative history of Hopewell Furnace. NPS ADMINISTRATIVE BACKGROUND National Register Status Hopewell Village National Historic Site was documented in the National Register of Historic Places on August 30, 1985. (The site’s name was changed to Hopewell Furnace in November 1985.) The National Register documentation cited architecture, industry, and military (American Revolution) as the site’s areas of significance. The designated periods of significance were 1700- 1799 and 1800-1899, with 1771-1883 – the furnace’s entire period of operation – noted as the specific dates of significance. Fifty contributing resources were singled out in the National Register documentation. Twenty-one other resources were described as “nonconforming intrusions.” In 1994, the Baptism Creek Picnic Shelter and Concession Building was determined to be eligible for inclusion as a contributing resource in Hopewell Furnace’s

GARVIN DECEMBER 5, 2009 This report summarizes observations made during a brief inspection of a log house standing near Webster Lake in Franklin, New Hampshire, on the afternoon of December 1, 2009. The inspection was carried out at the request of the building’s owner, who has conducted considerable research on the property but was seeking an independent evaluation of the significance of the log house. Present at the meeting were Todd M. Workman, the owner, and Peter Michaud and James Garvin of the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources, the State Historic Preservation Office. The following report represents an initial summary of observations made on December 1, 2009, together with recommendations for further research and evaluation. Summary: The log house was built in that part of Andover, New Hampshire, that became part of the Town (later City) of Franklin when that entity was incorporated in 1828. Apart from a small and much-studied group of sawn-log buildings that survive in the coastal region of New Hampshire and adjacent Maine, this house is currently the only known log dwelling to survive in New Hampshire. As such, the building represents the sole example of a building tradition that was once predominant on the New England frontier.

  • Dovetails and Broadaxes: Hands-On Log Cabin Preservation
    Dovetails and Broadaxes: Hands-On Log Cabin Preservation Appendix E—Log Building Origins and Styles Plan and Form As they moved westward, European-American settlers suc- cessfully adapted log construction techniques to regional materials, climates, and terrains (figures E1 and E2). The floor plan and shape of log buildings constructed in the 1700s and early 1800s sometimes can provide clues to the eth- nic origin or route of migration of the original inhabitant or builder. Because the settlers often borrowed and copied tech- niques used successfully by their neighbors, don’t infer too much about the ethnic origins of a cabin’s builders from the way they constructed the cabin. Figure E2—The builder of this cabin at the mouth of Big Timber Creek Canyon on the Big Timber Ranger District in Montana (Gallatin National Forest, Northern Region) used a stone foundation with massive, battered stone corners and porch piers, and moderate diameter, round, softwood log walls. The cabin has a steep cedar shingled roof and a rock chimney for a wood stove near the center of the building. The entry is on the gable end under a gabled porch. It was sold and removed from the site in the early 1980s. The basic unit of each of these types is the one-room enclo- sure formed by four log walls joined at their corners, called a single pen or crib (figure E3). People sometimes divided the single pen by interior partitions or enlarged them by add- ing another log pen. The typically mid-Atlantic “continental” Figure E1—The two-story Gladie pioneer cabin, built around 1900, was Appendix E—Log Building Origins and Styles restored as part of the Gladie Visitor Center pioneer homestead interpretive site in Kentucky (Daniel Boone National Forest, Southern Region).

There are three basic types of house museums: Documentary Representative Decorative Each type has its purpose and distinct interpretive thrust. The Documentary house museum , as its name implies, is based on documentary evidence that is germane to a particular house and its inhabitants . Monticello is a good example of a documentary house museum. As the home of Thomas Jefferson, plans and designs, furniture and account books, letters and drawings provide the information with which that building and its extensive grounds are restored, furnished and interpreted.

  • Log Construction in Louisiana Historic Context
    Log Construction in Louisiana Historic Context Jonathan and Donna Fricker Fricker Historic Preservation Services, LLC March 2012 CONTEXT SUMMARY Log construction, horizontally laid logs attached at the corners via a technique known as notching, occurred historically in various parts of the United States. However, it is most closely identified with what cultural geographers term the Upland South Culture. Indeed, it is an emblem or icon of that group. Cultural geographers vary in their interpretations of virtually every aspect of the Upland South Culture, including its physical boundaries. This document will define the core of Upland South Culture to include West Virginia, western Virginia, the western Carolinas, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Because this core area corresponds to much of Appalachia, sometimes the term Appalachian Uplander is used. (Appalachia is a region in the eastern United States that follows the spine of the Appalachian Mountains from roughly Pennsylvania to northern Alabama.) A significant number of the pioneers who settled the Upland South Culture Region were of Scots-Irish descent (or lived in close proximity with those of Scots-Irish descent and learned their folkways). These were frontiersmen, small landholders – sometimes squatters – in sparse and scattered settlements in a remote hinterland. While the Scots-Irish played a large role in spreading log construction, it was not native to them. Scholars generally agree that they learned the technique in the course of their western expansion, but they disagree as to whether the ultimate origin of log construction in America is via Germany or Scandinavia (Finland and/or Sweden). As migration continued, the Upland South Culture would spread generally in a southwestward fashion to include parts of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
