Abstract:
This is an historic structure report on the Carmin House in Matthews, Indiana. This report involves historical data about the home compiled through researching primary
historic documents, conducting interviews, and analyzing the house itself. Additional
documents were created for this report from this information to include an architectural
description, a conditions assessment, proposed treatments for conditions in need of repair, a cost estimate for proposed treatments, historic floor plans, current floor plans, floor plans following the restoration, and renderings of the completed restoration. All of these different elements within the report will allow for the restoration of the home. The town in which this home resides contains other historic buildings that would benefit from reports such as this in order to conduct further restorations. The Carmin House will be the
first building of its kind to be restored in Matthews, Indiana.
