What We Did
During October and November 2022, Jefferson University students surveyed, measured, and researched the mansion, conducting:
-
Exterior survey using analog hand-measuring techniques and hand-held laser instruments, from the ground only
-
Interior survey of first and second floors only using the above-referenced techniques, as well as 3D LIDAR scanning technology
-
Research from Germantown Historical Society and Historic American Building Survey data, dating to 1966.
The work shown here was developed as the students' final projects.
