Extending the LegacyExtending the Legacy: GSA Historic Building Stewardship examines GSA's stewardship successes and challenges within the practical framework of the agency's business approach to providing and maintaining Federal workspace. Its well-illustrated chapters showcase GSA’s historic building inventory, five ways historic buildings are used, and how GSA is integrating its portfolio and stewardship strategies. The report also recounts innovative GSA solutions to major preservation design challenges and discoveries like Clara Barton’s Missing Soldier’s office, the Confederate submarine the Hundley, and the subterranean relics of New York City’s infamous Five Points neighborhood. This October 2004 follow up to GSA's 1999 report Held in Public Trust: PBS Strategy for Using Historic Buildings fulfills GSA's reporting obligations under Executive Order 13287 Preserve America, and provides GSA associates a ready reference for managing every agency activity concerned with historic buildings or cultural artifacts.
