Introduction Purpose of Project The Minute Man National Historical Park Battle Road Structure Survey project was completed in two phases. Phase I, completed in October 2004, determined an impact assessment for the 14 structures and 10 sites included in the project. The summary of the Impact Assessment of phase I is included on page 6 of this report. Phase II of this project utilized the findings from phase I as a guide in formulating new use alternatives for each structure and site. Minute Man National Historical Park has identified the 14 structures and 10 sites that are eligible for reuse in accordance with the statement outlined in NPS- 28: Cultural Resource Management Guideline, Chapter 3: Planning:

“The goal of cultural resource planning in the national park system is to identify and preserve park cultural resources and to provide for their appreciation by the public. It strives to integrate cultural resource concerns into broader NPS planning processes, to avoid or minimize harm to cultural resources, to identify the most appropriate uses for cultural resources…”1

Throughout this project’s planning process the park has understood the challenge of balancing the overall interpretation of the park with simultaneously finding new uses for these sites that are desirable to the surrounding community. As new uses alternatives were brainstormed, the mission of the park was clearly kept on the forefront. Minute Man National Historical Park’s mission as stated in the National Register Nomination for the park is as follows:

“The primary mission of the park has been to approximate the cultural environment that existed in 1775 and preserve and interpret individual resources that contribute to understanding the events of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. As part of that mission, the NPS has removed more than 200 nineteenth and twentieth century buildings and structures in an attempt to recreate the open, agricultural appearance that the area had at the time of the battle.”2

Definition of Objectives The goal of phase II, as mentioned previously, was to use the findings from phase I and generate a list of alternative new uses for each site within the project scope. The objective during this process was to create this list of new uses in collaboration with the park as well as professionals from a variety of disciplines. Input from the park was invaluable to this process because of the intimate familiarity they possess not only of their cultural resources, but also the day- to-day activities that they experience within the park. A variety of different disciplines was also consulted during round table meetings with the park. This included a senior asset reviewer from CoBank located in Springfield, MA; members from Community Action Partners (CAP) organized by the Harvard Business School Association of Boston; and members from The Farm School located in Athol, MA. All landscape assessments for each site were completed by the Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation. Collaboration from the Olmsted Center was fundamental to the outcome of this project. Data Collection and Analysis Phase I of this project involved a methodology that evaluated both the structures and the landscapes that allowed for the greatest amount of information per site to be considered to inform the final impact assessment. Several documents were utilized in the determination of significance; the primary documents referenced were the park’s National Register Nomination and available historic structure reports. Once the determination of significance was established, architectural and historical integrity could be assessed. The primary guide utilized in the assessment of integrity was The National Register Bulletin 15: How to Evaluate the Integrity of a Property. A walk- through of each structure and landscape was preformed evaluating each of these seven aspects of integrity in situ. The final product resulted in a matrix that simultaneously outlined each structure’s and site’s significance and integrity, which when added together generated the impact assessment. Development and Evaluation of New Use Alternatives Phase II of this project began with a round table meeting with the park that resulted in a proposed list of new uses. After the meeting, the list of proposed new uses was organized in “use type” categories to suggest that if one use was proposed for a site, then perhaps another use within the same “use type” category should also be considered. The next step was to match the new uses generated from the first brainstorming meeting to specific properties. A matrix was prepared outlining the new use alternatives for each site. Pros and cons that each proposed new use would yield on the structures and landscapes were entered into the matrix. Among several issues taken in account, some specific matters

considered were if the new use would add to or detract from the mission of the park; how great an impact would the new use have on both the structure and landscape; how the new use would capture or impede pedestrian flow; if the new use would attract more visitors to the park; how extensive a configuration or rehabilitation of the structure would be required; if the new use would require additional septic utilities; and if the new use would require additional parking. A second meeting was held to receive feedback from the park. The purpose of this meeting was to present to the park the draft findings and to weed out those uses that were not favorable. What resulted from this meeting was a short list of proposed new uses for each structure and site as well as the formation of these proposed new uses into a hierarchy of: Preferred Uses, Less Preferred Uses, and Non- Preferred Uses. Issues Several issues were identified throughout the project that reoccurred amongst each site. Septic issues were at the top of the list and were identified as being outside the scope of this project. This issue will need to be explored further with greater expertise in the subject area. Several sites had several alternative uses in common, specifically in the area surrounding the Brooks’ properties as well as the Farwell Jones and Stow- Hardy site. An idea surfaced to treat these properties that have common proposed uses and that are close in proximity to one another as clustered or compounded properties. For example, if the Noah Brook Tavern site is used as a tavern on the first floor and an inn on the second floor, the Joshua Brooks Jr. site could also be used as an inn under the same commercial venture as the Noah Brooks Tavern site. Parking was also seen as a challenge. However, the Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation was very adept regarding this issue and compiled a parking feasibility study that has been included throughout this report. Several other issues were also confronted such as technology needs and building code upgrades; these issues were also believed to be outside the scope of this project and should be addressed in the later planning stages of each site. The report included herein includes the list of proposed new uses; the Impact Assessment from phase I; and the matrix that includes proposed uses for each structure and landscape and the respective pros and cons.

John Nelson House, Barn, Landscape

Current Use

House: Residential (Hanscom Residential Lease). Barn: Vacant / NPS Light Storage.

Impact Structure: Low Impact Level (27 out of a possible 36 points). Barn: Medium Impact Level (19 out of a possible 36 points). Landscape: Medium to High Impact Level (16 out of a possible 24 points).

Issues Parking:

Existing: 2 spaces. Potential: 3 extra spaces against the barn and 2 spaces facing the main road 2A. Total: 7 spaces. Other: Not recommended for visitor parking due to limited space to maneuver a car. Driveway should remain unpaved. Minor improvement to driveway and entrance will be necessary in addition to construction of a new parking area. Several large trees (acer and quercus) should be protected. Parking at Visitor Center may be an option as well.

Septic: Existing: New septic installed in 2003 for residential use (5 bedrooms). Required: See attached septic information (will vary according to use).

Other • House constructed ca. 1808 – 1810, barn constructed ca. 1810 – 1824. • Possibility of some part of the house being a witness structure – to confirm

this, more architectural investigation and a full historic structure report would be required.

• Consider cluster arrangement with Whittemore Educational Center and Visitor Center located nearby. Location is close to trail.

Farwell Jones House, James Carty Barn, and Landscape

Current Use House: Residential (Private lease). Barn: Vacant / NPS Light Storage.

Impact Structure: Low Impact Level (27 out of 36 possible points). Barn: Medium Impact Level (20 of 36 possible points). Landscape: Medium Impact Level (18 out of 24 possible points).

Issues: Parking:

Existing: 3 spaces available around the house and possibly 3 spaces next to the utility shed. Parking area is paved, but in poor condition. Potential: 5- 7 spaces could be made around the house and in front of the barn and silo. Additional 6- 12 spaces could be located behind the barn, next to the utility shed(s).

Total: 22 spaces. Other: This site needs particular attention due to the proximity if the Battle Road and views. One way to deal with such a challenge is to break up the parking into several “micro” lots.

Septic: Existing: House has septic for residential use; barn has septic. Required: See attached septic information (will vary according to use).

Other • Most intact agricultural site in project. • Witness structure - house constructed ca. 1700 – 1716, barn constructed

in 1903.

McHugh Barn and Landscape

Current Use: Vacant. Impact

Barn: Medium Impact Level (20 out of a possible 36 points). Landscape: Medium to Low Impact Level (21 out of a possible 24 points).

Issues Parking:

Existing: None. Potential: Adjacent lot east of Barn may be available for intermittent parking (perhaps after- park hours). Total: See other. Other: Nearest parking is approximately 700 ft. away in Visitor Center parking lot (35 spaces, 2 spaces for buses).

Septic: Existing: None. Required: See attached septic information (will vary according to use).

Other • Barn constructed in 1939. • Barn has two floors and each can be used for a separate use. First floor

appears to be more of a public- orientated space, while the Lower Level would be more suitable for animals or storage.

• NPS Comfort Station located 700 ft. from site. • New use should not interrupt Hartwell Tavern operation.

Noah Brooks Tavern, Rogers Barn, and Landscape

Current Use House: Vacant. Barn: NPS Maintenance Shop / Light Storage. Impact

Structure: Medium Impact Level (18 out of a possible 36 points). Barn: Medium Impact Level (20 out of a possible 36 points). Landscape: Medium to Low Impact Level (19 out of a possible 24 points).

Issues Parking:

Existing: 3 spaces available east of the main house. Potential: Possibly 3 more spaces at end of driveway. Total: 6 spaces. Other: Extensive and unmarked gravel parking area behind the barn can accommodate between 20 and 40 cars. The access drive needs improvement and clear demarcation. Minor improvement such as minor grading, clearing of stone wall, and importing of gravel would be sufficient. Topography contributes favorably to a bigger lot as parking would be partially hidden behind a berm and the higher elevated road. A beautiful existing stone wall could be used as the eastern boundary of the parking lot, while the soon- to-be- built cattle fence could serve as the western boundary.

Septic: Existing: Adequate septic exists for residential use.

Required: See attached septic information (will vary according to use).

Other • House constructed in 1798, barn constructed in 1938. • Most parking available on premises than any other site. • Potentially combine new use with new use for Joshua Brooks Jr. House.

Stow- Hardy House, Hovagimian Garage, and Landscape

Current Use House: Vacant. Barn: Vacant / NPS Light Storage. Impact

Structure: Medium Impact Level (19 out of 36 possible points). Garage: Medium Impact Level (18 out of 36 possible points). Landscape: High Impact Level (14 out of 24 possible points).

Issues Parking:

Existing: 2- 3 spaces. Potential: None. Other: The existing lot is small and difficult to navigate. There is little room to turn around, making the site complicated for visitor parking where people would be arriving and leaving with high frequency. With significant landscape alteration there may be more parking potential. Ideally, the appropriate design would have the Farwell Jones Site provide parking for this site.

Septic: Existing: Adequate septic exists for residential use.

Required: See attached septic information (will vary according to use).

Other • This structure is just post 1775 battle, constructed in 1786; garage

constructed 1945. • This property’s use would be ideal to combine with Farwell Jones

operation because of its close but somewhat removed location (could act as a support structure, i.e. residence to Farwell Jones operation.)

• Beware of impact to trail that abuts parcel on the northeast corner of parcel.

Joshua Brooks Jr. House and Landscape

Current Use: Vacant. Impact

Structure: High Impact Level (12 out of 36 possible points). Landscape: High Impact Level (14 out of 24 possible points).

Issues Parking:

Existing: No official parking. Paved driveway (fair condition) can provide limited parking. One space available in front of garage. Potential: 3 spaces possible in front of and next to garage. 2- 3 extra spaces possible in the driveway but clearly visible from the road and would have limiting circulation. Total: 6 spaces. Other: Short walk to Noah Brooks Tavern and its parking lot.

Septic: Existing: Adequate septic (3 bathrooms) for residential use but in poor condition. Required: See attached septic information (will vary according to use).

Other • House constructed ca. 1779 - 1781, just post 1775 Battle. • Tie new use w/Noah Brooks Tavern – could be more economically

feasible/profitable (short walk between two properties but slightly dangerous).

Page 56: BATTLE ROAD STRUCTURE SURVEY PHASE II BR SS P… · BATTLE ROAD STRUCTURE SURVEY PHASE II (Phase I included as Appendix) Minute Man National Historical Park ... Golf Course Agricultural:

George Hall House and Landscape

Current Use: Vacant. Impact

Structure: High Impact Level (13 out of 36 possible points). Landscape: High Impact Level (15 out of 24 possible points).

Issues Parking:

Existing: No existing parking. Potential: The site can accommodate a significant number of cars (15- 20). Total: 15- 20 spaces. Other: The parking would have to be located behind the structure and/or across the side road on existing meadow. Due to existing vegetation and location of structure, most cars would not be seen from the main road in this location.

Septic: Existing: No existing septic. Septic needs could potentially be met with the use of composting system. Required: See attached septic information (will vary according to use).

Other • House constructed 1865. • New use should be concentrated on non residential/full- time housing

because of the non- extant septic system and great parking potential. • Landscape is rocky and archaeologically sensitive.

Gowing- Clarke House and Landscape

Current Use: NPS Residence. Impact

Structure: High Impact Level (14 out of 36 possible points). Landscape: High Impact Level (15 out of 24 possible points).

Issues Parking:

Existing: 3 undesignated spaced on eastern side of the house (on gravel). Potential: Space can accommodate approximately 6 spaces if correctly designed without disturbing the barn foundations. Total: 6 spaces. Other: This is a dangerous intersection therefore parking would not be recommended for visitors; rather it would be safer for park personnel familiar with traffic patterns.

Septic: Existing: Adequate residential septic exists for 4 bedrooms. Required: See attached septic information (will vary according to use).

Other • House constructed 1836.

Samuel Brooks House and Landscape

Current Use: Vacant and Occasional Small Functions. Impact

Structure: Medium to Low Impact Level (23 out of 36 possible points). Landscape: Medium Impact Level (18 out of 24 possible points).

Issues Parking:

Existing: 8- 12 spaces available east of the site in a designated parking area. Potential: Possible expansion of lot obtaining an additional 12 spaces. Total: 24 spaces. Other: The existing parking lot is correctly sized and not exceedingly imposing on the landscape. Because there are no significant shade trees, and the site is surrounded by farm land, enlarging the existing parking lot may create an overwhelming mass of cars not appropriate for the area.

Septic: Existing: Adequate septic installed for residential use. Required: See attached septic information (will vary according to use).

Other • Witness structure, constructed 1728.

Introduction The goal of this project is to determine acceptable impact levels using a systematic methodology to determine potential reuses for fourteen structures and their ten respective sites in Minute Man National Historical Park. A fifteenth structure (Farwell Jones Produce Stand) was eliminated from the study due to new information that documented its date of construction as 1960. Of the forty nine structures that the park has entered into the List of Classified Structures (LCS), fourteen structures and ten sites were identified by the park staff as potential reusable resources. Phase I of this project will determine an allowable impact assessment per structure and site; Phase II of this project will use the findings from Phase I to provide the park with the information that will outline these sites’ reuse and ultimate treatment to be included in the General Management Plan. For Phase I, a methodology was created that evaluated both the structures and the landscapes that allowed for the greatest amount of information per site to be considered to inform the final impact assessment. Several documents were utilized in the determination of significance; the primary document referenced was the park’s National Register Nomination along with the consultation of available historic structure reports. Once the determination of significance was established, architectural and historical integrity could be assessed. The primary guide utilized in the assessment of integrity was The National Register Bulletin 15: How to Evaluate the Integrity of a Property. A walk-through of each structure and landscape was preformed evaluating each of these seven aspects of integrity in situ. The final product resulted in a matrix that simultaneously outlined each structure’s and site’s significance and integrity, which when added together generated the impact assessment.

Methodology for Significance, Integrity, and Impact Assessment Methodology for Rating Significance: The National Register Nomination for Minute Man National Historical Park identifies six areas of significance: military, commemoration, architecture, literature, agriculture, and archaeology. Upon reviewing the nomination, it was determined that the fourteen sites involved in this project contain significance in three areas, on both the national and local levels. On the national level, some sites contain significance in the area of military; on the local level, sites contain significance in the area of architecture and agriculture. We have assigned a rating in each area of significance for both the structure and the landscape on a scale of zero to five. A rating of one indicates the lowest possible significance a structure or landscape embodies in the particular area of significance and a rating of five indicates the highest significance a structure or landscape embodies in the particular area of significance. It was also determined that all sites with in the Minute Man National Historical Park are archaeologically significant and archaeological investigation must take place before any ground disturbance. Listed below are the areas of significance for the fourteen and 10 landscapes that are the focus of this study and the methodology that was utilized to assign a rating in each area of significance. National Significance: Military (c. 1775): Structure Significance: Any structure that was witness to the Battle of

Lexington and Concord is considered to reflect national significance in the military category and is given the highest possible rating of a five. All other non-witness structures are given a zero for military significance.

Landscape Significance: The primary mission of the park, as stated in the National Register Nomination of Historic Places, has been to “approximate the cultural environment that existed in 1775 and preserve and interpret individual resources that contribute to understanding the events of the Battle of Lexington and Concord,” which were the events that commenced the American Revolutionary War. For this reason, the entire park’s landscape is considered to be nationally significant in the category of military; therefore, all landscapes are given the highest significance rating of a five.

Local Significance: Architecture: Structure Significance: In the National Register Nomination for Minute Man

National Historical Park the significance criterion of architecture is considered to be locally significant. Therefore, we assigned four points as the highest rating that a structure could receive for the significance criterion of architecture. All structures have a minimum rating of three in this category due to the statement in

71

Page 74: BATTLE ROAD STRUCTURE SURVEY PHASE II BR SS P… · BATTLE ROAD STRUCTURE SURVEY PHASE II (Phase I included as Appendix) Minute Man National Historical Park ... Golf Course Agricultural:

the National Register Nomination: “Architecturally, the district embodies a collection of dwellings that are representative of local building trends from the early eighteenth century through the mid-twentieth century.” However, if a particular structure is specifically mentioned in the National Register Nomination as being architecturally significant, the structure was given a higher rating of four.

Landscape Significance: All sites are given a zero for landscape significance in the area of architecture, as it is not applicable.

Agriculture (up to c. 1951):

Structure Significance: For each structure that is specifically mentioned in the National Register Nomination for agricultural significance, a significance rating of a four was given. The same rating was also given to a structure if it is a farmhouse associated with a landscape that the National Register Nomination recognizes as agriculturally significant, even if this farmhouse is not specifically mentioned. A significance rating of a three was given to structures that are typically associated with agriculture, such as a barn, even if neither the structure nor the landscape is specifically mentioned in the National Register Nomination. All other structures not specifically mentioned as being significant in the area of agriculture, not associated with a landscape that was specifically mentioned in the National Register Nomination, or that are not typically associated with agriculture, were given a significance rating of a zero.

Landscape Significance: All landscapes are considered locally significant in the

area of agriculture and were given a minimum rating of three due to the statement in the National Register Nomination, “The history of the district is inextricably ties to agriculture, which was the primary economic activity carried on there throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.” If a particular landscape is mentioned in the National Register Nomination as containing agricultural significance, a higher rating of four was given.

Methodology for Integrity Assessment:

The National Register Bulletin 15: How to Evaluate the Integrity of a Property was referenced to in order to evaluate the integrity of each structure and landscape listed within the project. As stated in the National Register Bulletin 15, integrity is the ability of structure or landscape to convey its significance and whether or not the property retains the identity for which it is significant. Within the National Register Bulletin 15, seven aspects of integrity are sited that help to define the integrity of a cultural site. Listed below are these seven aspects of integrity and their definitions:

72

Page 75: BATTLE ROAD STRUCTURE SURVEY PHASE II BR SS P… · BATTLE ROAD STRUCTURE SURVEY PHASE II (Phase I included as Appendix) Minute Man National Historical Park ... Golf Course Agricultural:

73

Seven Aspects of Integrity: 1. Location: Location is the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred. 2. Design: Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. 3. Setting: Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. 4. Materials: Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property. 5. Workmanship: Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory. 6. Feeling: Feeling is a property’s expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. 7. Association: Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property.

The integrity of the structures and the landscapes were evaluated independently, as each has different elements that help to define its integrity. For each area of significance a spreadsheet was created that listed each site, including both the structure and the landscape. One point was given to each aspect of integrity for each structure and landscape if it was determined that the structure or landscape still retained this aspects of integrity for which it is considered significant. Alternatively, a zero was given in each aspect of integrity for both the structure and landscape if it was determined that structure or landscape no longer retained that aspect of integrity. Because a building’s integrity is evaluated largely in part on the structural components that comprise its whole, an aid for evaluating each aspect of integrity for the structures was needed. A spreadsheet was created for each structure that listed individual structural elements and the various known alterations that occurred to each element over time. These spreadsheets were a tool for internal use that summarized the alterations of a structure and gave a quick insight to help evaluate integrity of each building.

Methodology for Impact Assessment: The impact assessment per site is presented as a whole number and was

determined by an integrated look at each site’s significance and integrity. The ratings for a structure’s significance and integrity were entered into a matrix and were added together for a maximum number of 36 points. The higher the number, the less acceptable impact per structure, and vice versa. A parallel methodology was used to determine the acceptable impact per landscape. The ratings for each landscape’s significance and integrity were added together for a maximum of 24 points. Similarly to the acceptable impact for each structure, the higher the result, the less acceptable impact per landscape.
