"...the survey shall cover structures of all types from the smallest utilitarian structures to the largest and most monumental. Buildings of every description..."

Excerpt from the original HABS mission statement, 1933

Measured Drawings

As part of the project, students in the Preservation Studies program in the College of Architecture at Tulane University prepared measured drawings of selected tombs according to HABS (Historic American Buildings Survey) standards. Participants first collected available archival information on the tombs and those interred. Measurements were made and conditions of deterioration were documented.
