George Washington Carver Museum, Tuskegee Institute National Historic Site, Tuskegee, Alabama
The Historic Structure Report for the George Washington Carver Museum contains four primary data sections - administrative, history, landscape, and architectural. Prepared from 1977 through 1979, the report had a number of authors and contributors. The structure, which was constructed about 1915, served as Tuskegee's laundry annex until 1938 when it was converted for use as Dr. Carver's laboratory and to house his collections. It was dedicated in 1941 as the George Washington Carver Museum. The proposed use of the structure follows: the grounds will be landscaped and upgraded in character with the Carver period of occupancy. The exterior of the building will be preserved as it exists, with any minor improvements to support functional criteria, and to present the building as it appeared in 1941. The main floor of the building will be renovated to house exhibits and the lower level developed to house visitor conveniences, museum storage, National Park Service staff, storage and mechanical stystems. The report provides historical background on Carver, the museum building, and its landscaping, discussion of the architectural elements, existing conditions, and the engineering systems. The report provides illustrations, tables, drawings, and maps.
