Excerpt from Historic Structure Report, Architectural Data Section, Vol. 1: Lindenwald, Martin Van Buren National Historic Site, Kinderhook, New York
This report is organized and presented in increasing levels of detail. Conclusions and broad statements of findings are presented first for convenient reference by managers and interpreters. A discussion of conditions, evidence, and recommendations for people directly involved in the construction work is contained in later sections of the report. The report, of course, was prepared in the reverse order. As is proper for all investigative activities, we proceeded from data gathering to analysis, to synthesis and correlation of the data, and finally to statements of hypotheses, findings, and conclusions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an architectural data section of a historic structure report providing an in-depth look into the architectural evolution and physical history of the Martin Van Buren National Historic Site. Extending beyond a mere cataloging of the evolution of Lindenwald, the house Martin Van Buren called home from 1841 until his death in 1862, this report presents detailed examinations of interior and exterior features, from the initial construction in 1797 to the renovations completed by 1850. The report's meticulous examination of available data, including archeological surveys, physical evidence still present in the house today, and the author's own analysis, identifies and describes physical evidence, specific building materials, dimensions, and construction techniques used throughout each phase of Lindenwald's transformation from a five-bay, two-and-a-half-story Georgian house into the eclectic Italianate structure featuring an iconic five-story tower that we see today. Covering such diverse topics as paint colors and wallpaper patterns chosen by each owner, the types of nails and hinges used to hang doors, to the alterations to the house's mechanical systems over time, the data presented serves as an invaluable resource for preservationists, architects, and historians seeking to maintain Lindenwald's historic integrity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
