FOR SCALF SHIP MODELS The drawings described in this list have been produced to meet the needs of those wishing to build authentic scale models, and every care has been taken to ensure accurate detail. In the case of naflled ships they have been compiled from the original builders' plans and specification, personal survey of the actual vessel, or both. Where possible, any changes made during the life of the ship have been noted on the drawings, butt in cases where this has not been done, any information on the subject will always be welcomed.

During all this time the prints are being constantly handled or subjected to rough use on the work bench, and soon become " dog-eared " or torn.

  • Statement of Significance
    United States Coast Guard Fort Point Station Historic District Golden Gate National Recreation Area Statement of Significance General Statement In 1962 the Presidio of San Francisco became a National Historic Landmark (NHL). In 1993, the NHL documentation was updated to include a list of contributing buildings, structures, and objects. This update formally recognized the Fort Point Coast Guard Station as a component of the Presidio of San Francisco and identified its principal surviving structures as contributing features. This Cultural Landscape Inventory is intended to supplement the 1993 NHL nomination by inventorying the landscape features and characteristics that contribute directly to this component district of the Presidio of San Francisco or constitute to its setting. This CLI is also intended to elaborate upon the unique history of the Fort Point Coast Guard Station and clarify how it is distinct from the larger historical context of the Presidio in which the station is geographically situated. The period of significance for the Presidio of San Francisco was identified by the NHL nomination as 1776 to 1945. This is extended to 1964 for the Coast Guard Station. This inventory also introduces several new contextual themes which were not included in the NHL nomination. These additional themes are justified by the unique history and mission of the Coast Guard at its Fort Point Station, which was significantly different from that of the Army at the Presidio of San Francisco. Parent Landscape: The Presidio of San Francisco National Historic Landmark The National Historic Landmark documentation from 1993 noted that the "Presidio of San Francisco is the oldest Army installation operating in the American West and one of the longest-garrisoned posts in the country."

  • Boathouse and Were Oriented So That the Front Porch Now Faced East Toward the Boathouse, Rather Than North Toward the Bay
    United States Coast Guard Fort Point Station Historic District Golden Gate National Recreation Area boathouse and were oriented so that the front porch now faced east toward the boathouse, rather than north toward the bay. A small plaza was created between the buildings and the flagstaff was placed in the middle of it. Interior remodeling of the O-in-C Quarters was not undertaken as Fourchy proposed, since the building still had to serve as dormitory and headquarters for the entire crew. Auxiliary buildings were placed west of the O-in-C Quarters along with the water tower. The proposed maintenance sheds were not built until after the new boathouse was completed (and then only one, not two, was constructed). Landscape plantings were probably introduced at this time but no evidence exists to establish this for certain. The present configuration of driveways and footpaths was established more or less as it exists today. The Exposition planners may have had something to do with the orientation of the buildings in Fourchy's design, since the facility was to host open-house demonstrations and exhibits throughout the year. As a result, the Exposition planners wanted the boathouse to be readily accessible to the public while preserving privacy for the residential quarters. This may explain why the orientation of the two buildings was reversed. By February of 1915 all of these actions were complete, and the new facility was operational. A photograph (history figure 5) of the opening of the 1915 Grand Prix auto race, the event for which the Exposition's wooden racetrack was built, shows the Fort Point Coast Guard Station in the background.
