This document is an architectural survey of character-defining features for the contributing features of the United States Merchant Marine Academy Historic District. This survey satisfies Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended, and it was used to determine which elements of the buildings and structures of the historic district are character-defining features for the elements that are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.

AGENCY USE ONLY (Leave Blank)2. REPORT DATE September 2000 REPORT TYPE AND DATES COVERED Final TITLE AND SUBTITLEGuarding In anticipation of the scheduled transfer of this DoD property, efforts were made to produce a lasting record of U.S. military buildings and installations in Panama. Fort Clayton played a long and distinguished role in the defense of the Panama Canal and related U.S. strategic interests, as was among the very last properties to be transferred to the RoP. The objective of this project was to trace the growth and development of Fort Clayton with an emphasis on how the Army's mission and doctrine shaped the post's architecture and land use planning. This document assures a permanent record of the physical legacy of Fort Clayton and its significance in the history of the U.S. military presence in Panama. It also provides compliance with DoD's 1992 Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document regarding stewardship of DoD cultural resources. In addition, the document will provide the RoP with valuable information for their own determinations of historic significance now that the installation is Panamanian property. In anticipation of the scheduled transfer of this DoD property, efforts have been made to produce a lasting record of U.S. military buildings and installations in the former Panama Canal Zone. Personnel from the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL), working in cooperation with various DoD services and commands in Panama, have spent 7 years producing site-specific documentation related to the developmental history of DoD installations in the RoP. Of those installations, Fort Clayton was among the very last properties to be transferred to the RoP. As previous documentation efforts focused on installations being transferred more quickly, Fort Clayton's physical legacy remained largely unrecorded. With less than a year remaining before treaty termination, discussions began concerning the creation of a comprehensive history of Fort Clayton based upon its built environment. The CERL personnel and U.S. Army South (USARSO) officials agreed on the need for such a history, and this project was born. SUBJECT TERMSFort Clayton has played a long and distinguished role in the defense of the Panama Canal and related U.S. strategic interests, as its existence covered most of the 20th cen...

The site of this study was Mount Moriah Cemetery, a historic cemetery in Philadelphia, PA. Several historical types of headstones dating from the middle of the 19th through the middle of the 20th century were imaged with a Leica P40 laser scanner. The objective of this study was to use three-dimensional laser imagining to collect specifics of lettering fonts and placement for appropriate replication. At least three scanning stations were used for each headstone. A total of 67 scans were taken. Lettering was traced and provided in digital format. These letters were further processed in AutoCAD. Three-dimensional imaging provided useful information that can be modeled and replicated for reconstruction of headstones.
