Hussey JA. 1972. Fort Vancouver, historic structures report, historical data, volume I. Historic Structure Report. National Park Service, Department of the Interior
The purpose of this report is to present what the historical and pictorial record reveals about the physical form and the furnishings of the fort stockade and the structures within it as they stood at about the end of 1845. This history data section of the historic structures report is one of the basic studies required before working drawings can be prepared for the reconstruction of the Hudson’s Bay Company post and depot of Fort Vancouver as provided for in the current master plan for Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, Washington. The purpose of this report is to present in convenient, usable form for National Park Service architects, curators, and interpreters what the historical and pictorial record reveals about the physical form and the furnishings of the fort stockade and the structures within it as they stood at about the end of 1845, by which time the post was practically at the height of its development. To this end the available historical data concerning each structure are presented in a separate chapter and are there analyzed in the light of archeological findings and of construction techniques employed at other Hudson’s Bay company posts.
