- Analysis
Existing Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) drawings from a 1939 survey were digitized, with dimensions verified in the field and then corrected as needed. Once the coursing and stone dimensions were added, these new base drawings were used to record detailed conditions of the masonry. A detailed glossary of stone conditions was developed and archival research was conducted to document the history of repairs and interventions to the building.
