Historic Structures Report, Part III: Bryan Farm and Farm Buildings
Thompson ME. 1962. Historic Structures Report, Part III: Bryan Farm and Farm Buildings. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
The Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point in the Civil War, the Union victory that ended General Robert E. Lee's second and most ambitious invasion of the North. Often referred to as the "High Water Mark of the Rebellion", Gettysburg was the Civil War's bloodiest battle and was also the inspiration for President Abraham Lincoln's immortal "Gettysburg Address". The Gettysburg National Military Park protects and interprets the landscape of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg. This historic structures report details the restoration work done on the Bryan Farm and Bryan Farm Buildings at Gettysburg National Military Park. This project was designed to restore the interior of the structure to its original appearance and to condition it for preservation as a historic building. The working drawings reflect such restoration. Change Order No. 1 was made when it was discovered that some of the foundation and supporting structures were inadequate to sustain the restoration as originally planned. The Bryan House was restored for viewing purposes only and this project should provide indefinite preservation with regular maintenance procedures. All necessary research has been completed and is reported in Part I of this report. The only further structure needed to complete the original scene is a Bake-Oven discussed in Part I of this report and such structure is not currently planned.
