Caption: General Pemberton's Headquarters (being repaired) and marker.
Additional Description: As a result of the repairs the front porch will receive shoring to support the existing structure and prevent the collapse of the second story porch. The current slate roof will be removed and stored while temporary waterproofing material is applied. The Vicksburg National Military Park and the National Park Service (NPS) will restore the porch and slate roof along with other exterior and interior preservation work at a later date.

The stabilization project is planned to last over 10 years until additional planning and funding can result in the full restoration of the structure. Once it is stabilized, the NPS hopes to reopen the building to the public.
