Harpers Ferry National Historical Park preserves historic resources and commemorates the historic events that occurred at and around Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The park consists of portions of the Lower Town, the former Storer College campus, landscapes associated with the national historical park’s Civil War significance, and lands preserving the historic viewshed down the Potomac River. This Historic Structures Report concerns the John T. Rieley Building (Bldg. 37) of the Lower Town in Harpers Ferry. The exterior of the building is proposed to be restored to its appearance in the 1859-65 period, involving the removal of the entire front wall of the building and the removal of approximately seven feet from each of the two sidewalls in order to set the front of the structure back to its original position. It is recommended that the reconstructed first floor windows be used as an exhibit of a typical shoemakers shop of the period.
