HSRs are planning documents that contain thoroughly-researched histories, condition assessments, structural analyses, architectural descriptions, measured drawings and photographic documentation of important historic buildings. The reports provide important base information when planning a rehabilitation or restoration, especially if the historic appearance is unknown, missing elements will be reconstructed, later additions will be removed, or the historic fabric will be modified.

The Center has completed a wide range of Historic Structure Reports for the State of Indiana, Department of National Resources, Division of State Museum and Historic Sites.
