If you're the owner or manager of a historic structure, the development of a formal Historic Structure Report can be a useful tool for organizing information, assessing significance, developing treatments, and guiding decision-making for its preservation, rehabilitation, and repair. Historic Structure Reports can be prepared for subjects as wide-ranging as industrial facilities, residences, schools, hospitals, churches, lighthouses, museums, visitors centers, military fortifications, government buildings, monuments, and ships. Each historic structure presents unique challenges in terms of understanding its history and significance, evaluating its material and construction, and preparing guidance for its stewardship.

In this webinar, historian and conservator Deborah Slaton and historical architects Mike Ford and Tim Penich provide an overview of Historic Structure Reports and related studies, the benefits to having one, and the process through which the reports are developed. The presentation includes case studies illustrating the significance and utility of Historic Structure Reports.
