Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A one-of-a-kind, step-by-step guide to compiling an HSR—a document crucial to every professional working on a historic property. Any architect, engineer, or preservation professional renovating a historic property must be familiar with the historic structure report (HSR)—a document that evaluates all aspects of a property to minimize damage during restoration. The only book of its kind, this practical guide walks readers through the process of compiling an HSR. From gathering historical and archival data about the property to analyzing its structural, mechanical, and electrical components to assessing the state of its interior finish, including wood, masonry, and metals, this book covers all the nuts and bolts of an expertly written, informative HSR. Explaining what information should be included in each section and how investigators can work together effectively as a team to produce a comprehensive, coherent report, this handbook is one no professional should be without.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historic structure reports (HSR) are multidisciplinary and offer much needed understanding to all that use them. These reports are created to help architects, contractors and owners understand the historic importance of features and the building. This study investigates the importance of historic structure reports and how they can be more beneficial. The study created an outline to be utilized on Texas A&M's College Station campus, on existing building that were constructed prior to 1940. This outline was created using literature and examples of HSRs. Then interviews were conducted with professionals from public universities of the same size as Texas A&M, historic preservation professionals, and general contractors. Following the interviews a more elaborate and beneficial outline was created. After modifying the HSR outline to be used on campus, the following conclusions could be made. The creation of these reports is beneficial to everyone that uses them on preservation projects. It is important to create a full HSR that even goes a step further than most, which addresses means and methods for implementation and addresses code compliant issues, and offers solutions. The creation of the HSR in academic setting offers research and economically benefits for the university.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Structure Report: Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt, National Historic Site, Hyde Park, New York The Home of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (fdr) is interpreted to the year 1945. The rationale for this date was provided by fdr himself. He began plans in the late 1930's to donate his home to the federal government as a National Historic Site (nhs). His wishes included that nothing be altered once the property changed hands. As it happened, fdr died in the spring of 1945, at which time the members of his family gave up their rights of ownership. Research for this historic structure report (hsr) on the Home of fdr was begun by the author in October 1983, but was ended in December of that year in order to address and complete work directed by the Office of the President of the United States. Research and physical investigation recommenced in October 1986, and continued sporadically until completion in January 1989. Although only nondestructive types of investigation were permitted, many available technical means were employed to study the house's architectural fabric and to analyze it comparatively. Several aspects of terminology in this report need explanation. Room names and numbers are those instituted when the house was restored following the 1982 fire; they differ in some respects from the room names seen on the 1941 Historic American Building Survey drawings (appendix B). Also, a number of abbreviations are used throughout the report. Members of the Roosevelt family, after their first citation in the text, are referenced subsequently by their first names. Likewise, after their initial citation in the footnotes, Roosevelt family members are referenced by their initials.
