I'm an architect with the Department of Children and Families. I'm in the process of doing research and trying to document several buildings included in the original Chattahoochee Arsenal @ Florida State Hospital. I am trying to have these buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. I thought these buildings were already listed, but I'm being told differently by Robert O. Jones, Historic Preservationist National Register Program. I have yet to have Mr. Jones come to Chattahoochee to visit these buildings to see the best way to appraoch the nomination. The more I research the more I feel I need to be approach this project not as individual buildings but as a "Site" of National importants.

I noticed that you mentioned that several "modern" buildings had incorporated the original "wall". Would the building your speaking of be the two story brick building due north (across Main Street)of the Administrations Building? This happens to be one of the buildings I'm trying to get registered. I started out working on this building thinking it was the only one not on the National Register. I find this building to be original to the arsenal due to it's construction and being integrated into the wall. The building has over the years been modified more so on the west side (first floor) due to the added windows and door entry.

I have read several articles you have written and have found them to be very informative and full of valuable information. I being an architect and not much of a writer find it very diffcult to write and express the information needed to fill out the needed information. Therefore I look to your articles for information and guidance in preparing my documentation. There is much to do for this proposal, therefore I may need to get in touch with you from time to time.
