Elisha Jones House and Shed: Historic Structure Report
Lee JJ. 2007. Elisha Jones House and Shed: Historic Structure Report. Historic Structure Report. Lowell, Massachusetts
This historic structure report (HSR) was produced by the Historic Architecture Program (HAP) of the National Park Service’s Northeast Regional Office, in order to document the development and use of the Elisha Jones House and Shed at Minute Man National Historical Park (NHP). The role of the HSR was to document the original construction, as well as known changes to the structures, and therefore record the evolution of the building. The HSR provides a written description and photographic documentation of the current physical appearance of the Elisha Jones House and Shed. Finally the HSR documents the “character- defining features” of the structure, and provides treatment recommendations for the preservation and maintenance of the Elisha Jones House and Shed. The scope of this historic structure report was to perform a “thorough” investigation of the Elisha Jones House and Shed as defined by NPS- 28, Cultural Resource Management Guideline. 1 The HSR contains “Part 1, Developmental History,” which includes a list of character- defining features (CDFs) and recommendations. The report also includes a limited exterior paint analysis to determine the 19th- century exterior paint colors. The report does not include interior paint analysis, nor does it include “Part 2. Treatment and Use” or “Part 3. Record of Treatment,” which should be prepared after the treatment is completed.
