The Red Dragon and St. George’s Episcopal Church were documented by the Heritage Documentation Programs division of the National Park Service, sponsored by the NPS Alaska Regional Office. HDP architects Jeremy Mauro, John Wachtel, and Mark Schara captured data using a combination of traditional hand measuring together with high-definition surveying. A Leica Scanstation C10 3-d laser scanner was used to create the point cloud, rendered with applied panophotographs in Leica Cyclone. The fly-through animation of the point cloud was executed in Pointools by Jeremy Mauro.
