摘要

This historic structure report (historical data) has been prepared to satisfy in part the research needs that were stated in the task directive 'Remove/Rehabilitate Unsafe Utilities/Structures At Glen Echo.' The directive under Package 183 was prepared by Susan L. Shufelt in July 1984. Data from this report will provide an information base with which to plan the preservation, stabilization, interpretation, and management of structures in Glen Echo Park. This report emphasizes the following features outlined in the task directive: The history of the park will be researched as it pertains to the construction life of the eight buildings (Chautauqua Tower, Carrousel, Cuddle-Up Pavilion, Bumper Car Pavilion, Spanish Ballroom, Amusement Park Maintenance Shop (Yellow Barn), Crystal Pool Remnants, and Administration/Arcade Building), the utility systems, and setting changes as they affected the buildings. All sources will be researched including the Richard Cook Collection, Library of Congress, Montgomery County Building Permits Office, and architectural drawings storage area. The product of this research will be a narrative and will include copies of all material found that relates to the Chautauqua Era, Amusement Era, and Public Use Era.
