Historic Structures Report, Part I: The McLean House
Historic Structures Report, Part I: The McLean House. 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 structure report concerns the McLean House at Gettysburg. It is proposed to be preserved as a part of the historic scene in its 1863 appearance insofar as is practicable and be remodeled on its interior to serve as modern housing. Proposed construction will include composite restoration of the house's exterior, necessary structural repairs, and the installation of modern plumbing, heading, and electrical wiring and fixtures.
