Executive Summary The historic Superintendent's Residence is one of the finest examples of rustic style architecture in the nation; thus, it has national significance based on its architectural merit alone. The residence also has maintained most of its historic integrity, due to location and the fact that it has only been used seasonally for much of its history. For the most part, the treatments recommended in this report are designed to stabilize and rehabilitate the historic residence for a use that is different from what the structure was originally intended. The report is written in such a manner that while assuming there will be a use, it does not specify exactly what that use will be. Instead, it will provide sound technical recommendations and parameters, in keeping with current preservation philosophy, to preserve the house's historic integrity as a National Landmark. Because the building is not accessible in winter and spring due to snow build-up on the road, the primary recommendation is to limit use to the Summer, and Fall seasons only. This will also lower the potential risk to the building's inhabitants and minimize the amount of invasive structural modifications that might otherwise be required due to combined seismic and snow design loads.
