It's a beautiful morning here at Gettysburg National Military Park. 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.680 My name is Ranger Chris Gwinn and I'm fortunate right now to be in the front yard of what was the James and Eliza 00:00:31.830 --> 00:00:33.830 Warfield home here on the Gettysburg battlefield. 00:00:34.620 --> 00:00:37.080 James and Eliza Warfield were members of Gettysburg's 00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:41.740 African-American community, and in 1863 just about a year before the battle 00:00:41.740 --> 00:00:49.720 they end up purchasing the home that you see behind me. Now, their story is one that is incredibly powerful and poignant, free African-American 00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:56.300 residing on the climactic battle of the American Civil War. But as you can see their house has gone through some pretty 00:00:56.550 --> 00:01:00.500 significant changes over the years but in 2020, it'll be getting a face lift. 00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:05.720 We're fortunate to have with us today preservationist Johnny Holdsworth. Johnny, why don't you come in. 00:01:07.020 --> 00:01:10.699 Johnny, can you tell us a little bit about what you do here at Gettysburg National Military Park, 00:01:10.860 --> 00:01:14.239 and what's gonna be in store for the Warfield home? [Johnny] Sure, Chris. 00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:18.979 I'm exhibit specialist here at Gettysburg National Military Park and I supervise restoration work. 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.820 Some of the stuff that we have going on at this site involves taking the building back to its original 00:01:24.380 --> 00:01:31.820 1863 footprint. We know that over the course of the building's lifespan following the battle a number of changes took place where it changed either the 00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:39.920 where certain parts of the building had been added onto or even grew taller. If you look behind us here at the house 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:46.129 the sections of the home, which are masonry are the original footprint of the house dating to the mid 1850s 00:01:47.549 --> 00:01:53.449 Subsequently after the battle several changes took place where the second story was added on to and anywhere 00:01:53.450 --> 00:01:56.000 where you see siding today, aluminum siding in this case, 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.339 that's white that was added on later on. 00:01:58.340 --> 00:02:04.250 So, our objective for the restoration work we're doing today is to take it back down to the one and a half story 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:09.828 structure that it was and remove some of the other buildings that were added onto the side and back of the house. 00:02:09.829 --> 00:02:15.799 [Chris] So, you're gonna take this home and basically try to turn back the clock to make it look like James Warfield knew it in 00:02:16.019 --> 00:02:18.019 1863, right? 00:02:18.090 --> 00:02:19.230 [Johnny] Exactly. 00:02:19.230 --> 00:02:23.480 We know that some of the physical evidence that we've been able to find through either research or 00:02:23.670 --> 00:02:29.839 what's here on the property tells us a lot of the answers to the questions we have about what it looked like 00:02:30.180 --> 00:02:34.650 what the windows were where the were located, what sort changes were done 00:02:35.350 --> 00:02:41.309 to the internal structure. So, a lot of that information we're now taking into our restoration plan. 00:02:41.590 --> 00:02:45.659 [Chris] So, I noticed a lot of the house is stone and that's going to involve a lot of stone work. 00:02:45.660 --> 00:02:48.660 You want to go take a closer look at the side of the house and talk a little bit about 00:02:48.940 --> 00:02:50.940 some of that side of the project? 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:52.520 [Johnny] Absolutely. 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:59.200 [music] 00:02:59.640 --> 00:03:02.000 [Chris] So, I noticed here we got some scaffolding up. 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.190 We got some stone. Tell us a little bit about what's happening on this kind of facade of the structure. 00:03:07.770 --> 00:03:13.700 [Johnny] Sure. So when we got on site here and started doing some work there had already been a number of years of research that went 00:03:13.700 --> 00:03:16.159 into what this would have looked like back in 1863. 00:03:16.860 --> 00:03:19.880 You can't see it any longer because we've done the repairs already 00:03:19.880 --> 00:03:24.469 but what was on this facade not even four weeks ago were two window openings. 00:03:24.990 --> 00:03:30.320 We were able to figure out pretty early on that those two window openings weren't original to the structure. They were added on later. 00:03:31.020 --> 00:03:36.589 Some of the evidence that we had that told us this were the lintels the pieces that were directly above the windows 00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:38.910 were cast in place 00:03:38.910 --> 00:03:42.230 cement, which wouldn't have been construction technique from the 1860s. 00:03:42.540 --> 00:03:44.450 So, when we look behind those windows 00:03:44.450 --> 00:03:49.729 you can also see a number of other changes. You can see there's a different type of plaster that been put in that doesn't match up 00:03:49.730 --> 00:03:54.439 with the other plasters in the house, so we knew pretty early on that that needed to be removed and 00:03:55.500 --> 00:03:57.500 turned back into just a 00:03:58.830 --> 00:04:00.300 straight masonry wall. 00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:04.700 We also have some evidence that points to this being the wall where the hearth was located and that 00:04:04.830 --> 00:04:08.210 wouldn't line up with having two windows on either side of a hearth. 00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:11.149 [Chris] What are some of the challenges you face as a 00:04:11.490 --> 00:04:16.730 preservationist working with this kind of materials - I mean I must imagine it's more difficult to work with then say wood? 00:04:17.340 --> 00:04:22.310 [Johnny] Yeah, the biggest challenge we're facing here on this site is just the method of construction that was used at the time. 00:04:22.890 --> 00:04:25.969 Often times when you're working with a masonry structure you're 00:04:26.490 --> 00:04:29.930 looking at a building that has mortar in it that's got a lot of lime in it. 00:04:30.870 --> 00:04:35.239 This building was not constructed with much lime at all. In fact, as we started digging into the walls 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.920 we found that a lot of the stones were laid in dirt and soil and didn't have a lot of 00:04:41.400 --> 00:04:48.480 structural stability. So, as we're going through the structure we're having to go back in and provide a lot more stability to the stonework - 00:04:49.020 --> 00:04:53.360 take out some of the soil that's in there and put in more that's going to give it some strength. 00:04:54.000 --> 00:05:00.619 Over the years things have been changed and sections of wall been removed and that also cuts into the structural stability of the masonry. 00:05:01.150 --> 00:05:05.220 [Chris] Great, I'd love to see the back side of the house and some of the modern additions we hope to take off. 00:05:05.220 --> 00:05:06.640 So want to head around the building? 00:05:06.640 --> 00:05:07.220 [Johnny] Yes. 00:05:07.220 --> 00:05:10.320 [music] 00:05:10.500 --> 00:05:13.920 [Chris] So we've moved around the house on the western face of the house now, 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.630 and as we kind of rounded the corner 00:05:15.630 --> 00:05:19.709 I was reminded just how close we are to the Confederate battle lines of July 2nd and 3rd. 00:05:20.110 --> 00:05:24.210 Right behind you is West Confederate Avenue. I can see the Longstreet tower. 00:05:24.210 --> 00:05:29.489 So this house was really smack dab in between the battle lines, and I'm imagining, Johnny, that when the 00:05:29.740 --> 00:05:35.640 Confederates who occupied this ridge during the battle looked in the direction of the house, they didn't see what we have behind us today. 00:05:35.640 --> 00:05:39.209 So, tell me a little bit about what parts of this structure here gonna be removed. 00:05:39.820 --> 00:05:42.719 [Johnny] Sure. So, what we're looking at right now behind us 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.679 nothing from 1863 is visible from our current 00:05:47.140 --> 00:05:53.009 viewpoint. A lot of the construction that's behind us was added on in the years following the battle. So, 00:05:53.169 --> 00:05:57.209 different periods of construction are right around the turn the century on into the 50s and 60s. 00:05:57.730 --> 00:06:03.480 So, for the next couple of weeks when we're doing some of the selective demolition to remove the non historic portions of the house 00:06:04.540 --> 00:06:12.029 everything that you see behind us now will completely change. We're really going back to the original footprint, which was just a two-room masonry house. 00:06:12.700 --> 00:06:16.109 So, everything behind us now that a couple weeks will be completely different. 00:06:16.150 --> 00:06:20.070 It's just gonna be a one and a half story stone structure you'll be looking at behind us. 00:06:20.580 --> 00:06:26.249 We know in the back elevation, this western side, there's just to be two windows facing it here. The driveway will be gone. 00:06:26.320 --> 00:06:28.580 Everything will be receded and regraded. 00:06:28.580 --> 00:06:29.760 [Chris] I have to imagine 00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:37.200 somewhere inside that modern structure the original exterior wall of the Warfield home can be seen. So, can we go inside and take a peek at that? 00:06:37.390 --> 00:06:39.390 [Johnny] Yeah, let's take a look. 00:06:39.390 --> 00:06:59.520 [music] 00:07:00.640 --> 00:07:01.380 [Chris] So, Johnny, 00:07:01.380 --> 00:07:08.309 we're inside what looks like a living room and I noticed we have this beautiful stonework here and it looks like a window, 00:07:08.310 --> 00:07:09.460 so what's going on? 00:07:09.460 --> 00:07:09.960 [Johnny] Sure. 00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:16.380 We're standing in what was the dining room for the former owners of this house, and what's behind us now is a 00:07:16.750 --> 00:07:21.149 reconstructed window for what we know was a original window opening for the house. 00:07:21.880 --> 00:07:27.239 If you come here, maybe about you know, three months ago we would've been standing in a much wider doorway. So, 00:07:27.880 --> 00:07:33.269 when this part of the house was added onto they wanted to widen the doorway to allow a better flow through the house. 00:07:33.580 --> 00:07:41.339 So to do that, they took the original window opening widen it and created almost a double wide sized doorway. For us to be able to establish 00:07:41.440 --> 00:07:46.619 what the size of the original window was we were looking for any physical evidence that was still existing, and luckily 00:07:46.810 --> 00:07:53.160 we go inside later on you'll see there's a piece of the original window trim that tells us exactly how wide the window was and 00:07:53.289 --> 00:07:56.849 the trend that matches up with all the other trim of the historic windows in the house. 00:07:57.699 --> 00:08:00.538 So, with that much information we're able to take that and 00:08:01.300 --> 00:08:06.400 turn it into what you see behind us for an infill. 00:08:06.400 --> 00:08:08.920 [Chris] I notice you have some work going on right now. We have Meghan here. 00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:10.640 What exactly is Meghan working on? 00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:14.430 [Johnny] So Meghan is grouting around the new window frame that we've added in. 00:08:14.430 --> 00:08:20.549 So, for any elements that were removed when this dining room was added on we're attempting to re-establish now. 00:08:20.919 --> 00:08:25.139 [Chris] So Meghan, tell me a little bit about what you're working on here. Obviously, you've got a window that you're creating 00:08:26.289 --> 00:08:27.930 Tell me a little bit about the process. 00:08:27.930 --> 00:08:33.810 [Meghan] Of course. We created a new window frame to match what originally would have been here to create that, 00:08:33.810 --> 00:08:38.070 you know, original window opening. And right now, like Johnny said, I'm just filling in the voids 00:08:38.349 --> 00:08:41.519 behind the window frame, and I'm using a grout bag here 00:08:41.520 --> 00:08:45.989 which is very similar to what you would think people use when they frost cakes, too. 00:08:46.089 --> 00:08:52.739 [Chris] So it went from being James Warfield's window to a doorway into a living room back to a window, right? 00:08:53.290 --> 00:08:57.120 [Johnny] Correct. And you come back here in a couple more weeks you'll be standing outside again. 00:08:57.520 --> 00:09:00.929 [Chris] Let's go around the corner here because I know there's some more work that you're doing 00:09:01.520 --> 00:09:03.520 to rehabilitate this structure. So, let's go take a look. 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:10.080 [music 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.600 [Chris] So, Johnny we kind of moved around the corner here. We're standing at what looks like a stairwell, 00:09:14.609 --> 00:09:19.139 there's some shag carpeting, and it looks like here you removed some of the 00:09:19.779 --> 00:09:23.279 sheet rock, the drywall, and exposed again an original part of the house. 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:27.839 And I'm told you found some surprises when you did that. Can you tell me a little bit about what we're looking at right now? 00:09:28.149 --> 00:09:28.649 [Johnny] Sure. 00:09:28.649 --> 00:09:34.348 [Johnny] So, when we got started on this we knew that there was several layers of non historic materials that had been added on over the 00:09:34.349 --> 00:09:35.160 years. 00:09:35.160 --> 00:09:38.098 So you're right, where the studs are currently there was drywall here. 00:09:38.169 --> 00:09:45.059 This covered this whole way up behind us all the way up the stairway. Same thing on the opposite side. So, we had two drywall 00:09:45.999 --> 00:09:47.999 panels that were covering up what was behind here, 00:09:47.999 --> 00:09:54.808 which was the original window opening. Everything you see behind us in terms of framing materials, paint trim, 00:09:54.809 --> 00:09:58.319 that's all original to the 1850s version of the house. 00:09:58.899 --> 00:10:02.728 And with that gives us a lot of good information about how these windows would have been set up - 00:10:02.829 --> 00:10:07.858 how big the sashes were, how thick they were, what the setup was for the rails, 00:10:08.889 --> 00:10:12.418 sash stops - so it gives us a clearer picture of what we need to reestablish. 00:10:12.549 --> 00:10:17.098 The only thing that we have left for the original windows were the frames themselves, 00:10:17.709 --> 00:10:22.498 but we have enough information now to be able to reconstruct the sashes so we know exactly what they would've looked like. 00:10:22.959 --> 00:10:24.959 [Chris] Now, with this original 00:10:25.269 --> 00:10:26.159 material in the house 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.528 do you try to keep that if you can and how do you determine whether or not you keep it or you replace it 00:10:31.529 --> 00:10:33.529 with something more modern or more stable? 00:10:33.819 --> 00:10:35.819 [Johnny] Sure, so we 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:40.648 as Park Service our ethos is to make sure that we save as much original material as possible. 00:10:40.899 --> 00:10:46.139 All of it gives us that part of the story of how the building was constructed, what methods were used. It helps, I guess, 00:10:46.209 --> 00:10:49.798 future historians to tell the picture or paint a better picture for us. 00:10:50.739 --> 00:10:53.728 So, for all the materials you see behind us, we'd keep it in place. 00:10:54.069 --> 00:10:58.348 We do as little as possible to keep from muddling it anymore, 00:10:58.869 --> 00:11:00.869 but we try and protect it from 00:11:01.599 --> 00:11:05.039 from any of the elements. Now, this has been covered up for a number of years, 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.429 it hasn't seen probably the weather for at least a hundred years, 00:11:08.589 --> 00:11:10.918 so whatever we end up doing to it is going to be 00:11:11.259 --> 00:11:13.949 something that's going to help preserve it for another hundred years. 00:11:13.989 --> 00:11:20.908 [Chris] And I think it's wonderful that you're able to not only uncover so much about the past from the physical structure here 00:11:21.009 --> 00:11:23.619 but that so much original still remains in the building. 00:11:23.620 --> 00:11:26.799 It really connects us to the people that lived here a century and a half ago. 00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:27.320 Now, 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:32.739 I would love to be able to see the interior of the house itself, the house that James Warfield would have known, can we go in 00:11:32.739 --> 00:11:34.720 and take a peek at that? [Johnny] Yeah, let's take a look. 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:50.560 [music] 00:11:51.760 --> 00:11:53.680 [Chris] We're in front of the Warfield house now. 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:57.089 The original front door is is just behind us. 00:11:57.089 --> 00:12:01.078 And again, you can see almost all of the second and third days battlefield from here. 00:12:01.079 --> 00:12:05.459 It's such an amazing location, and I love that we're able to literally walk through the same door that James Warfield did 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:10.800 a century and a half ago. So can we go peek inside now Johnny? [Johnny] Yeah, let's take a look. 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:18.720 [music] 00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:20.400 [Chris] Wow, you know 00:12:20.429 --> 00:12:25.379 one of the things that I notice when I walk in is it feels so different from the other parts of the building, more modern 00:12:25.379 --> 00:12:29.009 parts, because when you walk in here you feel like you're in a nineteenth-century building. 00:12:29.009 --> 00:12:32.308 So as I look around I see exposed beams. I see 00:12:33.100 --> 00:12:37.409 some wood around the windows. Can you tell us what's original in this structure right here? 00:12:37.410 --> 00:12:41.939 [Johnny] Sure, so a lot of what we're standing around is original to the construction from the 1850s. 00:12:42.459 --> 00:12:48.988 Again, we first got here it looked very much like a modern living room, this in fact what it was for a long time. 00:12:49.539 --> 00:12:51.689 So, we got in here we removed a lot of drywall. 00:12:52.359 --> 00:12:58.109 Behind the drywall was another set of wall materials that were prepped by around the turn of century - some wood beadboard. 00:12:58.109 --> 00:13:01.559 So we pulled that material off and then that exposed the original plaster walls. 00:13:02.169 --> 00:13:06.179 Fortunate thing is a lot of plaster walls over the years delaminated from the stonework behind it. 00:13:06.209 --> 00:13:11.279 We saved as much as we possibly could, especially pieces that gave us further evidence of how this 00:13:11.859 --> 00:13:13.859 this room would have been laid out. 00:13:13.869 --> 00:13:17.788 [Chris] Now, I look at some of these beams up here, they look old to me 00:13:17.789 --> 00:13:21.809 but as a preservation how do you look at this and know it's from 1850? 00:13:22.449 --> 00:13:27.658 [Johnny] Really you're trying to find anything that would give you an idea of what technology they use to hew it. So, if they were hand 00:13:27.659 --> 00:13:28.199 hewing it 00:13:28.199 --> 00:13:29.379 or if they were using 00:13:29.379 --> 00:13:32.399 upright saws to try and whittle it down to the size it is. 00:13:32.529 --> 00:13:37.858 That's gonna tell you quite a bit about the age of the wood itself and when it would have been installed. 00:13:38.049 --> 00:13:39.689 Something like a floor joist like this, 00:13:39.689 --> 00:13:45.808 it would have been incredibly difficult to change around. That gives us some clues to as to whether it would have been changed or not. 00:13:46.239 --> 00:13:48.418 And again, looking at other materials 00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:49.329 so there's a lot of 00:13:49.329 --> 00:13:54.688 cut nails that have been stalled in that. And cut nails would have been correct to the period of when this was originally constructed. 00:13:55.280 --> 00:13:57.280 [Chris] So, it's 1850 or it's 00:13:57.680 --> 00:14:03.549 1860 we're in this main floor here. What would this have looked like? Do you have any idea? 00:14:04.190 --> 00:14:08.770 What would have been going on in this room? Is this everything - is this the living room or the kitchen? What's happening here? 00:14:08.990 --> 00:14:16.330 [Johnny] Yeah, so as best as we can tell the footprint of this building lines up pretty similar to other buildings on the battlefield. 00:14:16.330 --> 00:14:22.150 So if you think of the Bryan house or the Leister house, it's really the same sort of footprint and configuration. 00:14:22.150 --> 00:14:28.329 So if we're following that as our guiding point, we look for other clues that help to bolster that thought process. 00:14:28.400 --> 00:14:29.440 [Chris] Yeah 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:34.150 [Johnny] So, this probably would have been a two room setup, and to give us evidence to that 00:14:34.150 --> 00:14:37.840 you can look up at the floor joists above us and see that they've been painted, 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.350 they've been treated over the years, but where we're assuming there would have been a 00:14:41.570 --> 00:14:44.650 partition separating the two rooms. You can see, or actually right behind this, 00:14:44.830 --> 00:14:49.809 where there's not been any paint applied, where probably a plank wall would have been on the side over here. 00:14:50.390 --> 00:14:51.800 So that give us a little bit of idea 00:14:51.800 --> 00:14:57.580 of yeah there was probably a partition wall here and when they painted the walls, they obviously wouldn't painted anything behind there. 00:14:57.620 --> 00:14:59.620 So that gives us part of the 00:15:00.680 --> 00:15:03.370 picture of what was the original configuration. 00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:10.180 The second piece is no longer here behind us, but there's another bit of information on that plaster wall 00:15:10.180 --> 00:15:16.330 which is sort of this ghost mark of where that partition wall would have actually intersected with the plaster. 00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:21.189 [Chris] Ghost mark - tell me a little bit about that. 'Cause I'm looking for it - kind of paint that picture for me. 00:15:21.190 --> 00:15:24.910 What is a ghost mark? What does it tell you? [ Johnny] So the ghost mark I'm speaking of is this 00:15:25.520 --> 00:15:28.900 upright line in the plaster where we can see there was a 00:15:29.180 --> 00:15:30.920 wall that would have been put there at one point. 00:15:30.920 --> 00:15:37.720 And the remnant of it is just basically where the plaster overlapped with a wall but never was flush 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.839 I guess with the opposite side of the wall. [Chris] There's a fair amount of what I would call detective work in what you do. 00:15:44.730 --> 00:15:50.370 You're looking at the house with clues as to what it would have looked like in 1863. Now, I noticed so we have a 00:15:50.800 --> 00:15:55.709 staircase here. Do you plan on keeping the stairs or do you plan on modifying them? What's gonna happen over there? 00:15:55.839 --> 00:16:01.888 [Johnny] Yeah, so the staircase that's behind us now was probably the third generation of stairs that were added into this space. 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:07.799 We're guessing third right now because actually where we're standing right now we can see that there was a stairwell 00:16:08.589 --> 00:16:10.919 installed here at some point in the building's history. 00:16:11.350 --> 00:16:16.529 There's some question as to whether this would have been the stairwell that would have been here during the 1850s and 60s. 00:16:17.110 --> 00:16:21.839 We did find other evidence as we started this project that points to there being a different configuration. 00:16:22.930 --> 00:16:25.739 So we'll see a little bit more that evidence potentially upstairs, 00:16:25.740 --> 00:16:30.779 but from what we can tell here we find another one of those ghost marks in the plaster here, and 00:16:31.870 --> 00:16:36.779 if we're thinking about those other buildings we were talking about earlier, Bryan and the Leister house, 00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:40.169 those would have had what's called a winder staircase. 00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:42.839 So wherever the hearth was in some of these buildings 00:16:42.839 --> 00:16:48.809 they would have had a very small, narrow staircase winding around the chimney to get to the second floor. 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:54.120 So we found that ghost mark which we line up with a similar configuration you see a Bryan or Leister. 00:16:54.370 --> 00:16:59.639 We also found some evidence of where there might have been a stairway, but also, too, where the floor planking is 00:17:00.220 --> 00:17:06.449 there's a different type of planking that was used there to potentially infill after it was removed. [Chris] You've talked about an 00:17:06.669 --> 00:17:11.219 incredible amount of work that is going on, that still needs to be done in this house. 00:17:11.589 --> 00:17:16.769 When do you anticipate this house will look like it did in 1860. When is this project gonna be finished? 00:17:17.140 --> 00:17:18.970 [Johnny] So, right now we're going to be 00:17:18.970 --> 00:17:23.400 beginning a lot of the selective demolition work that's going to remove the non historic parts of the house. 00:17:23.650 --> 00:17:26.519 At this point in the season we're fighting against the weather, 00:17:26.520 --> 00:17:29.939 so we're gonna try and do as much in this interior space as we can when 00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:32.640 things get too cold to finish up any masonry work. 00:17:33.190 --> 00:17:40.230 But our projections right now put us into late spring early summer for finishing the exterior restoration. On the interior 00:17:40.230 --> 00:17:44.250 we have a lot of questions still about how we want to finish it off. Again, 00:17:44.250 --> 00:17:47.520 we're finding a lot of new clues as to how things were configured - 00:17:48.490 --> 00:17:52.620 pieces that we want to be able to highlight to the public to show what was here and 00:17:53.370 --> 00:17:58.920 and make that part of the story. [Chris] I think the work that is happening here is fascinating and more than just 00:17:59.530 --> 00:18:06.119 rehabilitating a historic structure. It offers us a different lens into the world of James and Eliza Warfield. It brings their story alive. 00:18:06.120 --> 00:18:08.700 So, I can't thank you enough for the work you do for the Park Service 00:18:08.800 --> 00:18:14.879 and thank you all for joining us as we explore the James Warfield house, and look forward to the improvements and 00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:18.240 rehabilitation efforts that are to come in 2020. So, Johnny, thanks again. 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:19.280 [Johnny] All right. Thanks Chris. 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:21.440 [music] 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:44.960
