| Abstract: | The Oak Ridge reservation area, acquired by the U.S. Corps of Engineers for the Manhattan Project in 1942, was a typical portion of the ridge-and-valley section in eastern Tennessee, containing approximately 1000 individual land tracts complete with farmsteads, schools, churches, and communities. In compliance with Executive Order 11593, Union Carbide Corporation, Nuclear Division, contracted with the University of Tennessee Department of Anthropology to locate, record, and assess the historical significance of the extant buildings and structures that predated Federal acquisition and are now located on Federal land. Selected structures were recommended for on-site preservation through periodic maintenance and others for possible relocation to less hostile or more compatible surroundings. One structure, a double-pen log house constructed in the early 19th century, was recommended for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places based on architectural and historical significance. Three grave structures, one of them of log construction, were recommended for on-site preservation through periodic monitoring and maintenance. |
