Fort Wilkins record drawings.pdf

These architectural and engineering record drawings detail the restoration and reconstruction plans for Fort Wilkins State Park, located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, prepared by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Parks Division. The comprehensive set of technical drawings covers multiple historical building reconstructions including the guardhouse, blacksmith shop, hospital, log cabins, married and enlisted men's quarters, kitchen, mess hall, bakery, and various utility systems. The project focuses on historically accurate restoration of buildings within the fort complex, with detailed plans for structural elements, foundations, framing, roofing, windows, doors, and interior configurations. Drawings are meticulously drafted with specific construction notes, material specifications, and architectural elevations for each structure.

The project is funded through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources with an account number of 607-75-2450-400, and appears to be part of a broader cultural heritage preservation initiative for the Upper Peninsula region. The documentation includes comprehensive site maps showing the layout of buildings around Lake Fanny Hoe and Lake Superior, utility infrastructure plans for water, sewer, and electrical systems, and precise architectural details that suggest a commitment to maintaining the historical integrity of Fort Wilkins State Park. The drawings are dated and appear to be part of a systematic restoration effort, with multiple sheets dedicated to each building type and various technical aspects of reconstruction.
