Mullaly FR. 1961. Historic Structures Report, Part I: Roof of Vanderbilt Mansion. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site is a historic house museum in Hyde Park, New York. It became a National Historic Landmark in 1940. It is owned and operated by the National Park Service. This Historic Structure Report concerns the Vanderbilt Mansion (Bldg. No. 1). This report concerns only the roof sectio of the Vanderbilt Mansion. The roof is not visible at any time to visitors and the proposed repairs will not change the shape, form, or basic details of the roof. It is proposed to clean the asphalt patching on the flashing, valleys, and roof sections where asphalt has been applied heavily and shows cracks. It is also proposed to cover the entire roof, flashing, and valleys with Flintkote Monoform, a material composed of asphalt and Fiberglas which should not require any appreciable maintenance for a period of at least 20 years.
