This report provides archeological data concerning the Elisha Jones House at Minute Man National Historical Park, commonly known in Concord as the "Bullet Hole House." At the time of the report, the house consists of two connected structures. The main portion is a two-story frame house which was extensively remodeled in 1865, and there is an unfinished shed portion connected to the house on the north. Although the older, shed portion of the Elisha Jones house was rumored to have been built as early as 1644, no archeological proof was found on site for this date. The conclusion was that the shed and perhaps a house once stood on the opposite side of the street. This report includes a supplement as a separate document, which provides a narrative the archeological information and investigation. The report corresponds to Work Order 406-211720: Rehabilitation and Restoration of Historic Structures (1965). Preparation of Historic Structures Report: Elisha Jones (Bullet Hole House). The house is indicated on the park's master plan as Building No. 39. Minute Man National Historical Park protects 970 acres in and around the Massachusetts towns of Lexington, Lincoln, and Concord, commemorating the opening battle in the American Revolutionary War.
