Special History Study, The Burton Jewelry Store
Chickering P and Ramakrishna K. 1995. Special History Study, The Burton Jewelry Store
The first draft of this report was prepared in 1990 when scheduled reconstruction of Park Building 14 and planning for the new interpretive exhibit it was to house mandated an up-to-date history of the structure. The previous study, Charles w. Snell's 1957 report for Park Building No. 14, reflected the Park's early philosophy of interpreting Harpers Ferry in the context of the John Brown Raid/ Civil War era. This report extends the building's history to Park acquisition in 1953. Although Snell's 1957 work provided the foundation for the present report, current research has uncovered data unavailable to Snell. This report, therefore, elaborates on, corroborates, clarifies, and supplements Snell's, and, taken together, the two reports comprise the authoritative history of Park Building 14.
