Ferry Hill Plantation House Historic Structure Report
GWWO, Inc. / Architects. 2005. Ferry Hill Plantation House Historic Structure Report. Historic Structure Report. National Park Service
This report describes the physical condition and historical context of Ferry Hill Plantation House in C&O Canal National Historic Park. The house provides an example of rural Federal-style architecture. It was occupied by both Union and Confederate forces at different points during the Civil War due to its strategically important position on the Potomac River overlooking Shepherdstown, West Virginia. The report recommends an exterior restoration to the house's appearance during the Civil War, and rehabilitation and preservation measures on the interior to allow the building to be used for interpretive or administrative purposes.
