Historic Furnishings Report: Alcatraz Island: Main Prison Building - Paperback

by U. S. Department National Park Service (Author), Mary Grassick (Author)

This report recommends restoration of historic spaces and installation of historic furnishings in three separate phases. Implementation of the historic furnishings plan in stages will allow for thoughtful review of the current use of space by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (the Conservancy) within the historic structure, and provide greater fl exibility in funding signifi cant rehabilitation and restoration projects. Ongoing implementation of the furnishings plans will also provide an opportunity to review and revise visitor circulation patterns and other aspects of the operating plan. It is anticipated that this ongoing review will be critical in managing the large numbers of island visitors in a safe and effi cient manner, while providing them with site interpretation of the highest quality.
