| 説明 | From Houck's Ridge, above Devil's Den.House: 2 story, 3 bay stone farm house is one of four structures remaining on the farm that were present at the time of the battle. Built 1850-1852, a parlor style house with a frame lean-to. Shiplap siding covers a 1940’s lean-to addition. Wooden shingles on a gable roof. Granite foundation. Used as a field hospital during the battle. Barn: Present at time of the battle, possibly used as a field hospital. 1 of 3 remaining double-log barns in park, although appearance has been altered. Built 1850-1852, a one-story, double-pen log ground barn on a granite foundation. The barn has board and batten siding with a partially exposed log front. Two cantilevered forebays of five and ten feet overhang on the east. The gable roof is covered with wood shingles. This barn was located along the Slyder Farm lane, used by Union soldiers of the 2nd U.S. Sharpshooters on July 2 to impeded progress by Confederate attackers on the afternoon of July 2. As a result, the first Confederate casualties during this day’s attack fell to small arms fire from near the Slyder barn. When the sharpshooters were driven back upon their main battle line, Confederate infantry passed by the Slyder buildings en route to Houck’s Ridge and Little Round Top. The wounded were carried back to the Slyder barn and house for treatment in a temporary aid station. On July 3, Union cavalry of Farnsworth’s Brigade charged through Confederate lines near the barn and several were felled in the lane. After the battle, several Union and Confederate dead were buried near the barn. The interior of the barn retains a great deal of integrity in arrangement of functions and in fabric.Hog Pen, Privy and Chicken House: The only farm outbuilding in GNMP to combine uses of hogpen & chicken house. (1850-1859) is a one-story frame building on a stone foundation. The gable roof is covered with wood shingles. The interior of the building retains some original fabric and historic division of function through dividing walls.Summer Kitchen & Woodshed: The Summer Kitchen (including perhaps the woodshed portion) was standing at the time of the battle, one of four such buildings on the farm. The kitchen was altered architecturally later in the 19th century. Its relationship to the battle is undocumented, but it was most likely used to support the hospital purposes that were established on the farm on the evening of July 2. The interior walls of these connected buildings are unfinished; the floor in the kitchen was replaced by NPS in 1980s. A two-story frame kitchen on a granite foundation of 16.5 x 13.75 feet that is connected to a one-story woodshed of 17.7 x 16.5 feet. The gable roof is covered with wood shingles. The summer kitchen was altered in 1895 by the addition of the second story & & the removal of an exterior bake oven on southern end.Info from NPS web site |
