National Park Service Title: Castle Clinton National Monument Administrative Records Dates: 1765-1994 Extent: 8.2 linear feet (8 document boxes, 3 flat boxes, 1 microfilm box, 2 roll boxes, 2 map drawers) National Park Service Accession Number: CACL-00075 National Park Service Catalog Number: CACL 282 Historical Statement: Castle Clinton, originally named West Battery, was constructed between 1807 and 1811, 200 feet off the coast of Lower Manhattan, as one of a group of fortifications meant to protect New York Harbor due to tensions with Great Britain. The port was never attacked during the War of 1812 and the army turned the fort over to New York City in 1823. Reopened as Castle Garden in 1824, the structure was used as a promenade, concert hall and entertainment center until 1854. Through the years, Castle Garden hosted political figures, opera companies, singers, scientists and celebrities. In 1855, the New York State Commissioners of Emigration purchased the lease for Castle Garden and opened it as a landing station for new immigrants. In 1890, the Federal Government took over immigration processing and moved the reception center to Ellis Island. The New York Aquarium opened in the former fort in 1896, free to the public. The New York City Parks Department, under Robert Moses, closed the aquarium in 1941. After threatening demolition of the structure, Moses faced a group of civic-minded individuals and preservationist organizations who fought to save the historic site. In 1946, President Truman signed the bill creating Castle Clinton National Monument. In 1949, Castle Clinton and the land underneath were ceded to the Federal Government by New York City with permission from the New York State Legislature and the site officially became Castle Clinton National Monument. Scope and Content Statement: The Castle Clinton National Monument Administrative Records detail the history of the site from the earliest planning of New York fortifications to its creation and management as a national park. The collection includes papers documenting the work of civic groups and preservation- minded private citizens to rescue Castle Clinton from destruction. These administrative records detail the efforts of the National Park Service, over three decades, to rehabilitate and recreate Castle Clinton as the original 1812 fort, while building and maintaining interpretive exhibits that would demonstrate all the stages of the site’s 140-year history. The records include correspondence, memoranda, telegrams, reports, speeches, newspaper clippings, legislation, transcripts of court papers, photostats, photocopies, brochures, signs, renderings, kits, flyers, posters, programs, news releases, photographs, proposals, aperture cards, bid specifications, forms, technical guides, plans, drawings, maps, an engraving reproduction, a proclamation and incorporation papers.

The files were originally housed in two record cartons and two map drawers. National Park Service: Manhattan Sites Finding Aid Castle Clinton National Monument Administrative Records – Catalog Number CACL-282 Page 6 HISTORICAL NOTE Castle Clinton was originally conceived in 1807 as one of a group of fortifications meant to protect New York Harbor as tension increased between Great Britain and the United States over various issues including the impressment of American sailors. New York City, with legislation passed by the state legislature, ceded underwater lots off the tip of Manhattan for the creation of the new battery. Called the West Battery, the fort was located approximately 200 feet off the coast on a man-made platform. The planning and construction of the West Battery was entrusted to Colonel Jonathan Williams of the Army Corps of Engineers. Williams began construction of the off-shore battery in 1808.1 He originally envisioned a two-tier fort attached to the old Battery on the tip of Manhattan by a bridge. But the building of the artificial island in the deep water off the coast of the Battery took longer and cost more than expected. Secretary of War Henry Dearborn, appointed by President Thomas Jefferson and then Secretary of War William Eustis, appointed by President James Madison concluded that a single story battery would be cheaper. At some point, John McComb, Jr. an architect known for the design of New York City’s City Hall and of Alexander Hamilton’s home, The Grange, collaborated in the design and construction of the West Battery, especially the entryway or sallyport to the new fort.2

  • The Red Book of Niagara
    \V Ki> SpCl 127 N836 p' THE RED BOOK OF NIAGARA A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO THE Scientific, Historical and Scenic Aspects of Niagara FOR THE USE OF TRAVELLERS BY IRVING P. BISHOP, S. M., F, G. S. A, With Many Illustrations, Index and Maps BUFFALO, N. Y. THE WENBORNE-SUMNER CO. I 90 I ^S6696 coptright 1901 bt The Wenborne-Su>iner Co. Press of The Wenborne-Sumner Co. Buffalo, n. Y. Preface. For more than two hundred years the Niagara region has been the most celebrated part of America. In the earlier period of our history it was the doorway to the upper lake region and the Mississippi Valley, for the possession of which French and English and English and Colonists struggled in turn. From a scientific point of view it has presented problems which have interested almost every geol- ogist of distinction, both in America and Europe. As a scenic wonder the Cataract has probably attracted more visitors than any other single natural object in the world. It is the purpose of this handbook to enable the visitor, whether his tastes be for the scenic, the scientific or the historical, to see Niagara from his own point of view, with the minimum outlay of time and money. The book is based upon the author's personal acquaintance with this region, which for thirteen years has been his field for study and recreation. It is issued solely in the interest of travellers whose needs have been, as far as possible, anticipated and provided for. Advertisements of all kind are strictly excluded from its pages.

  • Bandelier National Monument Executive Summary & Final Report
    NPS Greening Charrette -- Bandelier National Monument Executive Summary & Final Report This report is a summary of the NPS Bandelier Greening Charrette Conducted in Santa Fe, New Mexico on April 8-10, 2003 Funding and coordination provided by: U.S Environmental Protection Agency National Park Service Bandelier National Monument Final Report prepared by: Joel A. Todd and Gail A. Lindsey, FAIA 1 Bandelier National Monument Greening Charrette April 8-10, 2003 Santa Fe, New Mexico Executive Summary Bandelier National Monument is located northwest of Santa Fe, New Mexico. It contains cliff dwellings and other structures built by Puebloan ancestors as well as more recent buildings constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. In addition, there are almost 33,000 acres of wilderness, served by only three miles of public road and 70 miles of trails. The park has already taken steps to “green” its operations, but important issues remain. These include crowded parking lots and lines of cars waiting to enter the park, maintenance and updating of the historic CCC buildings including the Visitor Center, renovation of the snack bar and renegotiation of the concessions contract, and construction of a new maintenance facility at the current “boneyard.” This workshop and charrette was the third in a series co- sponsored by the National Park Service and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Participants included the Bandelier Superintendent and staff as well as personnel from other national parks, state parks, and experts from around the country. The day before the event, there was a tour of the park, designed to introduce participants to issues at Bandelier.

CNY developed and implemented an elaborate plan to raze the building while maintaining the landmark façade. This bracing scheme from the exterior allowed the outer walls to be decoupled from the building behind the façade so the building could be demolished, leaving only the façade standing until new the new structure was built and reanchored to the façade. As a result an additional 20,000 SF of building area was created through this redesign.
