Historic Structure Report, =Architectural Data Section: Marie Zimmermann House
Bennett KW. 1985. Historic Structure Report, =Architectural Data Section: Marie Zimmermann House. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
This report is a structural history and architectural analysis of the Marie Zimmermann house, located in the Delaware Water Gap Recreation Area. The report is organized by analyses of specific features of the house, presenting the existing conditions and recommended treatment. The report mentions two potential plans for the National Park Service's use of the building. First, to establish a field archaeology museum; second, to develop seasonal housing for park rangers. Either plan would allow the building to retain its historic structure. The Marie Zimmermann house is significant in that it is representative of the influx of wealth into the Delaware Water Gap region at the onset of the 20th century, as the land was increasingly used as a site for summer retreats.
