This report contains historical information about Stirling’s headquarters so that Valley Forge National Historical Park can properly preserve and renovate the building. Valley Forge National Historical Park intends to undertake the preservation and renovation of the building known as the Quarters of Major General Lord Stirling, located on north side of Yellow Springs Road near the western edge of the Park. As a basis for the planning and design of the project, Valley Forge National Historical Park has commissioned the preparation of this Historic Structure Report. The following primary tasks were carried out in preparing the report: archival research to retrieve information related to the significance and development history of the building and site; architectural investigations to retrieve and document physical evidence of the construction chronology of the building, to assess existing conditions and to formulate the scope of required preservation and conservation work; structural investigations to assess and document the existing condition of the building’s structural components, and to assess the capacity of those systems to accommodate the proposed use; statement of recommended treatment philosophy consistent with the appropriate period of significance and proposed use for the buildings; statement of recommended treatment, use and interpretation of the property; and statement of treatment priorities. These tasks are addressed in this report.
