Historical Architectural Survey of Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area 1975. Volume 1.
Abstract
This survey was ordered in order to aid in the determination of disposition of all the buildings in both Park and Pool Areas, and was intended initially to cover only those buildings whose original construction date was somewhat obscure, or those that might appear to have historical or architectural merit but which had not been previously noted for retention. It was not intended, at the start of the survey, that modern (less than 50 years old) buildings should be surveyed, nor any buildings already listed by the Park Service for any Category. The mandate to the surveyor was to survey all those buildings selected for inspection by the Park Historian. Shortly after the Survey began, however, it became obvious to the Park Historian and the surveyor that it was hazardous to dismiss a building as modern without recording it as being so, since there would be no way in the future of knowing whether a building that did not appear in any Category had been missed or was, with certainty, a modern structure. Thus, the system was soon adopted of noting the newer buildings by Tract number in each Segment.
