The Historic American
Building Survey (HABS) was begun by the National Park Service, a division of
the United States’ Department of the Interior. HABS attempts to catalog
American buildings of historical, cultural, and architectural interest.
Multiple formats are used to catalog the selected buildings: measured drawings,
written histories, large-format photographs, etc.
This collection consists
of 372 black and white silver gelatin prints taken as part of HABS. The
collection is mostly comprised of private residences of historic importance,
but public buildings and structures are also represented.
The full finding aid can
be seen here.
