The Spermaceti Cove Life-Saving Station, Historic Structure Report (HSR) was produced by the Historic Architecture Program of the National Park Service’s Northeast Region. The purpose of the report is to document the development and use of the 1894 Spermaceti Cove Life-Saving Station. Furthermore, it is intended to inform and guide the rehabilitation of that historic structure. The scope of the HSR includes the “thorough” 1 research and investigation of the existing Spermaceti Cove station, which is a Duluth-type life-saving station. The HSR includes the development of the Duluth-type station and documents the original appearance of the 1894 Spermaceti Cove Life-Saving Station. The HSR records alterations to the structure, the building’s existing architectural elements, identifies the character-defining features of the structure, and makes general recommendations for treatment. The HSR contains “Chronology of Development and Use,” “Current Physical Description,” and “Character Defining Features and Recommendations” for the Spermaceti Cove Life-Saving Station, as well as an appendix on paint analysis, in accordance with National Park Service (NPS) standards and as outlined in Director’s Order - 28.
