Abstract: Investigation of the Duplex Officers’ Quarters and Laundress’ Quarters at American Camp to assist the National Park Service in maintaining, restoring, and interpreting this historic military residence. The investigators will perform non-destructive and other investigation of the existing structure. The investigators will study and analyze the existing historic fabric along with the photographic, written, and drawing records of this facility and similar U.S. Army constructed officers’ quarters from the American pre-Civil War era, synthesizing all of this data into a coherent picture of the probable original layout, appearance, and space utilization in the building.
