Albee PA. 1990. The Commandant's House, Historic Structure Report, DRAFT. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Boston, Massachusetts
The Commandant's House is the oldest standing structure in the Charlestown Navy Yard, which was one of the first established navy yards in the United States. It is also historically significant based on those who occupied it, included commanders of the USS Constitution. Architecturally, the structure has undergone many renovations, but its 1805 core remains evident along with the main house's Greek Revival (1849) roof line and interior dwelling. The report provides the historical background and development of the Commandant's House. The architectural history is divided into sections based on time period (for the exterior detail) and room (interior detail). Existing conditions are also provided. This draft version of the report excludes the Administrative Data Section, recommendations, and many of the drawings. An explanation of contents is provided in the Management Summary.
