Proposed Restoration of Meade's Headquarters
Tilberg F. 1943. Proposed Restoration of Meade's Headquarters. 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 report includes the statement of historical significance of the Meade's Headquarters building, a description of its war time and present conditions, and recommendations for restoration. In the Proposals for Restoration, there are marginal, handwritten comments.
