ANNUAL REPORT 2019 OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENTS for Our 2019 Annual Report, We’Ve Explored Various Structures That Sit on This Land ANNUAL REPORT 2019 OUR BUILT ENVIRONMENTS For our 2019 Annual Report, we’ve explored various structures that sit on this land. Our buildings reflect the times in which they are created and the purposes they serve. The places where we live, dine, shop and gather are as much a part of our history as they are of our current lives. Some structures have evolved over more than a century while adhering to their original intent. 2 Highland Road, North Truro, now Salty Market, was built to be and is currently run as a neighborhood store. Houses built for whaling captains are now luxury inns and homes for those working in our vibrant art market. Others have experienced vast permutations. The Cahoon Hollow Life Saving Station became a hostelry before its life as the exceedingly popular Wellfleet Beachcomber. In 1852, the building at 90 Commercial Street, part of the Union Wharf Complex, served as the first offices for Seamen’s Bank. Now that historic building houses the law offices of Frederick V. Long. As always, our Annual Report is enhanced by narratives of those who have gone before us while celebrating the community we so appreciate and support today. “Its floorboards are wide. Its cedar shingles are made by hand. The nails are hand wrought. Among the underpinnings of the house are the masts of vessels. It has a round cellar of the kind known as ‘smuggler’s cellar,’ in the middle of which is a hook. This hook was there for the purpose of rigging a tackle to let down the barrel of Jamaican rum, which Provincetown captains smuggled from the West Indies.” — Mary Heaton Vorse, Time in the Town Untitled (the artist’s studio) Pauline Palmer courtesy Provincetown Art Association and Museum 466 COMMERCIAL STREET, PROVINCETOWN LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Perhaps no house better reflects the history of Mary Heaton Vorse was an internationally renowned Provincetown than the house at 466 Commercial Street. journalist, pacifist and suffragette.

  • Identification and Evaluation of U.S
    U.S. ARMY COLD WAR ERA MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL HISTORIC PROPERTIES THEMATIC STUDY AND GUIDELINES: IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF U.S. ARMY COLD WAR ERA MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL HISTORIC PROPERTIES U.S. Army Environmental Center Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21020-5401 1 U.S. ARMY COLD WAR ERA MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL HISTORIC PROPERTIES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document provides a national historic context for the U.S. Army’s military-industrial involvement in the Cold War (1946-1989). The goal of the project was two-fold: (1) to develop a thematic study on historic properties associated specifically with the military-industrial theme of the Cold War and (2) to provide guidelines for the identification and evaluation of Cold War era military-industrial historic properties in the Army. The document emphasizes the specific relevance of the Cold War to the Army’s military- industrial history, rather than the general context of the Army during the Cold War period. In other words, although there is some discussion of the Army’s traditional mission, the focus of this historic context is on what the Army did in direct response to the Cold War. For the purposes of this study, the Cold War is defined primarily as the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union and is only secondarily defined as the general threat of communist aggression from other sources, such as China. The document is organized into seven chapters. Chapters 1, 2, and 3 provide an introduction and discuss the goals and methodology, respectively. Chapter 4.0, the Historical Narrative, provides an overview of the Army’s Cold War role.

The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management.
