This is a historic structure report for the C-47 Nike missile launch site in Wheeler, Indiana. This report provides a description, condition assessment, and recommendation for restoration of the site since it has sustained damage from weather, fire, and vandals. The site is listed on the State Register and National Register of Historic Places and the Nike Preservation Group desires to turn the site into a Cold War museum and memorial.A history of the Cold War and development of the Nike missile systems and C-47 site provides the background of the project. Each structure and feature is described and the condition recorded. Recommendations for treatment and maintenance are provided. Suggestions are made for a phased restoration of the site to accommodate a Cold War museum. Since it is recommended the site be open to the public, issues regarding public health, safety, security, and handicap accessibility are addressed. This project does not provide a full management and preservation plan, measured HABS/HAER drawings, or a structural analysis. / Department of Architecture

Este trabalho procura mostrar novos conceitos em intervenções e materiais de construção nas restaurações de monumentos históricos. Caso especial da Kahal Zur Israel (primeira sinagoga das Américas), o que motivou a restauração deste monumento. Qual era o contexto histórico da época, o histórico do monumento em si mesmo, quais foram os critérios de intervenção adotados, baseados nas práticas restaurativas dos novos teóricos e guardando algumas das recomendações das cartas patrimoniais existentes. Explanar sobre as descobertas arqueológicas feitas, com o objetivo de conseguir informações, para execução de um projeto de intervenção correto e adaptado às necessidades de uso atual, salvaguardando o bem patrimonial, bem como promover a auto-sustentabilidade do empreendimento, adquirir suporte financeiro para a sua sobrevivência e conservação. O procedimento levou em conta outros monumentos, onde foi observado o emprego de materiais modernos, utilizados com a finalidade de adaptar os monumentos para usos contemporâneos onde o comércio, o turismo, os serviços, as comunicações e o conforto ambiental são imperativos, isto sem perder os seus valores culturais no sítio histórico. Também descreve e destaca os materiais modernos dos antigos, não criando falso histórico nem falso artístico. Exemplo bem dado pelo novo bloco anexo complementar, situado ao fundo da Sinagoga. Em geral, os materiais de construções modernos, dão um novo sentido de intervenção aos monumentos. / This study shows new restoration concepts about interventions and construction materials used in historical monuments. The study views the specific case of Kahal Zur Israel (first synagogue of the Americas), and what exactly motivated the restoration of this monument. Some questions considered were: which was the historical context of the time? What was the history of the monument in itself? Which were the intervention criteria adopted, based on the newest theories, while at the same time preserving some of the present recommendations of the heritage letters? The study also described some of the archaeological discoveries that were carried out with the objective of gathering information to best execute the restoration project. The intervention tried to adapt the present necessities of the locale, preserve its historical value, and promote its financial self-sustainability. The procedure included considerations done on other monuments where modern materials were used so that contemporary uses could be adapted (commerce, tourism, services, communications and environmental comfort). At the same time the preservation of the cultural values of the historical center was observed. Moreover, the procedures show and differentiate the modern materials from the old, avoiding a false representation of the historical and artistic value of the locale. A good example of this at Kahal Zur Israel, is the complementary annexed bloc, situated in the depths of the synagogue. In general, modern building materials give a new sense of intervention to the monuments.
