Historic Structure Report: Grey Towers
Clary DA. 1979. Historic Structure Report: Grey Towers. Historic Structure Report. United States Forest Service
This Historic Structure Report addresses Grey Towers, home of Gifford Pinchot, first Chief of the Forest Service. It was also intended to serve as a model for other reports of its kind, with a historical analysis, analysis of existing conditions, and recommendations for restoration, development, and use. Pinchot was one member of the family who lived in the estate between 1885 and 1963, overlooking Milford, Pennsylvania. The estate was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1963 and passed into public ownership the same year. It became home to the Pinchot Institute for Conservation Studies, a program established to further protection and use of the nation's resources. This report collects archival material on Grey Towers, examines the current remains of the buildings and landscape, evaluates significance, and offers recommendations for future treatment.
