Historic Structure Reports (HSRs) are essential documents for planning a rehabilitation or restoration. They provide key base information, especially important if the historic appearance is unknown, missing elements will be reconstructed, later additions will be removed, or the historic fabric will be modified.
HSRs contain thoroughly researched:
- histories
- condition assessments
- structural analyses
- architectural descriptions
- measured drawings
Working with the State of Indiana, Department of National Resources, Division of State Museum and Historic Sites, the Center for Historic Preservation has completed HSRs in communities across the state, including New Harmony, Corydon, Metamora, and Madison.
The work details a wide scope of many different types of structures from houses and government and commercial buildings to canals and historic sites such as the Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site in Rome City and the T.C. Steele State Historic Site in Nashville.
We regularly have several HSRs in process.
