Historic Structure Report: Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument

The purpose of this Historic Structure Report (HSR) is to research, document, evaluate, and provide treatment recommendations and guidance for the Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home, a National Historic Landmark (NHL), at Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home National Monument. The Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home NHL is significant ass the site of Medgar Evers's assassination and for its association with Medgar and Myrlie Evers, two African-American civil rights advocates who advanced the movement on a national level. The HSR builds on existing documentation and discusses the range of treatment needs and objectives for the structure. The recommended treatment approach is rehabilitation in order to facilitate reuse, interpretation, and accessibility, while focusing on preservation of the character-defining features of the property. Documentation has been assembled into a separate Appendix. A concurrent Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) supports this HSR.
