Architectural Survey Report: Restoration of the Bryan Outdoor Bake-Oven
Edwards HC. 1957. Architectural Survey Report: Restoration of the Bryan Outdoor Bake-Oven. 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 survey report concerns the restoration of the bake-oven at the Bryan Farm site. Drawing from a variety of sources, the report authors produce a sketch showing what is believed to be a reasonable restoration of the Bryan oven, feeling fairly confident that, except possibly in detail, this restoration conforms closely to the structure that formerly existed.
