The National Park Service intends provide improved HVAC operations at the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site located at 28 East 20th Street in New York, New York. The improvement aims to protect the facility and its collections by minimizing extreme fluctuations in temperature. As a basis for the planning and design of the project, the National Park Service has commissioned the preparation of this Historic Structure Report (HSR) by HDR Engineering, Inc. with sub-consultant, John Milner Architects, Inc. (Task Order #1443CX2000, PMIS 16068, Rehabilitate HVAC and Protect Collections, Prepare Historic Structure Report). The following primary tasks were carried out in preparing the HSR: 1. Archival research to retrieve information related to the significance and developmental history of the building and site. 2. 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 proposed preservation and conservation work. 3. Statement of recommended treatment philosophy consistent with the appropriate period of significance and proposed use for the building. 4. Statement of recommended treatment, use(s) and interpretation of the property. 5. Statement of treatment priorities. Architectural investigations revealed extensive physical evidence in support of the construction chronology and subsequent upgrades. This evidence is presented in the form of detailed descriptions, annotated photographs and annotated existing-conditions drawings.
