Historic Structure Report: Old Orchard
Lee JJ. 2013. Historic Structure Report: Old Orchard. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Lowell, Massachusetts
Old Orchard at Sagamore Hill is the subject of this Historic Structure Report (HSR). Completed in 1938, Old Orchard was the home of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (Ted) and his wife Eleanor B. Roosevelt. It is a Colonial Revival style building that was home to Eleanor until her death in 1960, and was given to the National Park Service in 1963. The National Register of Historic Places nomination for Sagamore Hill National Historic Site (NHS) determined that Old Orchard is a contributing resource to Sagamore Hill. Park management plans stated that the building must be preserved and maintained. The recent Sagamore Hill NHS General Management Plan (GMP) determined that a Historic Structure Report should be written to document the building as part of the preservation and planning process for Old Orchard. The Old Orchard Historic Structure Report was produced by the Historic Architecture Program (HAP) of the National Park Service’s Northeast Regional Office in order to document the development and use of Old Orchard at the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site (NHS). Furthermore, it is intended to inform and guide the preservation of the historic structure.
