Historic Structures Report, Part I, Administrative Data: William Henry Dogan House
Staff. 1960. Historic Structures Report, Part I, Administrative Data: William Henry Dogan House. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
This document provides administrative data for Dogan House (Building No. 14), the only extant structure of the village of Groveton that gave its name to the second day's fighting of Pope's campaign at Manassas on August 28-30, 1862. Located near the center of the field, the house was repeatedly caught in the crossfire of the opposing Union and Confederate armies. It was used alternately by both sides as a sharpshooter's nest. Other than the Stone House, this is the only remaining original structure upon the field and as associated with the battle. It was proposed as an exhibit in place to be visited as a feature exhibit on group-conducted tours and for general exterior viewing by the public. Furnishings along with the building itself will permit a meaningful interpretive display which may be closely inspected by conducted groups and made visible to the general public from the rear windows of the house. The interior finishing of the house would materially improve the structural strength of the building by tying it together at its base and adding rigidity to its frame. It would further discourage rodents from entering the house, improve moisture control, and reduce maintenance costs.
