Historic Structure Report, the McClean Barn, Gettysburg National Military Park

摘要

The historic values of the McClean Barn have been discussed many times in the past, and the careful inspection of the fabric under the present study has not revealed any reason to question its high significance. On the contrary, the structure appears to represent a type of construction characteristic of Pennsylvania barns which is important to architectural and economic history, and is both fragile physically and uneconomic in present-day agriculture. The preservation of the McClean Barn and its continued maintenance and ultimate restoration are obviously justified.
