Talk:Cyclorama Building at Gettysburg

Comments
This sentence appears to be misleading:

In 1998, the building was declared a historic structure by the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places as it possesses "exceptional historic and architectural significance."[1]

In fact, the Cyclorama Building does not appear in a nationwide search of the NRHP database for the keyword "Cyclorama". Neither does it appear in a search for projects with the architect "Neutra". The project was documented with measured drawings, photographs, and textual descriptions by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS). The 1998 document in question established that the Cyclorama Building is _eligible_ for inclusion in the register. Eligibility does not constitute inclusion. Thus, the use of the word "declared" is vague, and perhaps deliberately so for the purpose of misleading the reader.

In fact, close reading of the original document - Section 4.2 The Historic Structure - indicates that while the building may outwardly be eligible for listing on the National Register, the National Parks Service (NPS) claims that the building's failure to serve its original function as visitor center and as home to the Cyclorama painting negate such eligibility. Further argument by the NPS indicates that, because the importance of the Battle of Gettysburg site trumps that of the Cyclorama Building itself, restoration of the building site (itself a part of the Battle of Gettysburg site) to its pre-building condition is the higher act of historic preservation.
