1249. na. Highland Lighthouse and Keeper’s Dwelling, Historic Structure Report, North Truro, Massachusetts. Lowell, Mass. Building Conservation Branch, North Atlantic Region, National Park Service, U.S. Dept. of Interior. May 1994. 478p. Soft wraps. Historic Structure Reports provide a valuable body of research, laying the foundation for the rehabilitation, restoration, stabilization or reconstruction of historic structures. Such a report is particularly important for finding or fabricating significant missing architectural details and other items that would have been found on such structures, and for documenting the history and changes to such structures over time. This allows one to recapture the appearance of a property at one particular period of its history, removing later additions, or substantially modifying existing historic fabric. In this case, Cape Cod (Highland) Light Station was studied using evidence present at the site, historical documents found at the National Archives, Lighthouse Service records, logs, reports, letters from the keepers and more. Using these and other sources, the author is able to provide a detailed assessment of how the structure would have looked during the various periods in its history, and more. There are five sections: 1. History of Development and Use of the first, second, and third Cape Cod Lights; 2. Physical Description; 3. Recommendations for Treatment; 4. Appendices; 5. Bibliography. The report includes numerous period photos and diagrams, architectural plans, and excerpts from Lighthouse Service books and documents for guidance. A most important reference for anyone interested in what the station building(s) would have contained and looked like. Exceptional reference. Clean, tight, light edge wear to wraps. (VG+). $128.
