Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site: Barn Complex Historic Structure Report
Joseph K. Oppermann Architect, PA. 2014. Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site: Barn Complex Historic Structure Report. Historic Structure Report. Southeast Regional Office (SERO)
The purpose of this Historic Structure Report (HSR) is to document the historic context, the development, uses, and current conditions of 10 buildings in the Barn Complex of the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site. The National Park Service will use this report to inform and guide the stewardship of these historic structures. The scope of work prescribed for this HSR specifies that documentary research be limited to the park’s records. However, additional information was gathered in oral histories collected from current and former employees of the park, non-intrusive building archaeology, paint analysis, and dendrochronology. This report, which highlights the Goat Barn and Milk House, the two buildings that were at the center of Lillian Sandburg’s goat operation, also addresses eight buildings that had ancillary functions. These secondary buildings include the Horse Barn, Silo, Shavings Shed, Cow Shed, Buck Kid Quarters, Corn Crib, Barn Garage, and Isolation Quarters.
