摘要

This is one of two volumes which were prepared to support the general development actions at Bunker Hill, Boston National Historical Park. This volume represents all presently known facts relevant to the actions proposed. This Historic Structure Report contains the Administrative Data, Historical Data and Architectural Data Sections. Much of the Historical Data section deals with the development of this monument during the last 150 years. The Architectural Data section of this report furnishes salient information regarding the architectural integrity, construction techniques, and physical condition of the monument. Due to the urban context of the obelisk, the surrounding environment was considered as well. Illustrations and drawings are included.
