Historic Structures Report, Part II: Architectural Data Section on the McLean House Slave Headquarters, Appomattox Court House National Historical Park

Carroll OW. 1964. Historic Structures Report, Part II: Architectural Data Section on the McLean House Slave Headquarters, Appomattox Court House National Historical Park. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service

This report expands on the architectural recommendations for the reconstruction of the McLean House Slave Quarters in Part I, Historic Structures Report, Architectural Data Section (November 1963). Because of the lack of adequate photographs and sketches of the historic structure, Clover Hill Tavern was used as a precedent for dimensional size, and other log structures in the Appomattox area provided examples for architectural details. It is recommended that the McLean House Slave Quarters be reconstructed based on the preliminary drawings included with this document. Description of the work is given divided into sections based on type of construction and area of the structure.
