2.0 Background

This project proposes to address and alleviate serious deficiencies in the existing roofing and rehabilitation needs for two (2) contributing buildings of the Gasquet Ranger Station Historic District. The Gasquet Ranger Station Historic District is situated on a river terrace of the Wild & Scenic Smith River in the Gasquet Ranger District of the Six Rivers National Forest.

The two buildings, erected between 1934 and 1938, were built by the Gasquet Camp of the Civilian Conservation Corp and are constructed from old growth fir or cedar originating from northern California or southern Oregon. The buildings were constructed as residential (c.1938) for Forest Service employees. The overall design is the Forest Service rustic architecture common to region 5 and region 6. Design elements common to this building, and others within the same compound, include simple gabled structures with shiplap or clapboard siding, fixed or sash style windows, dormers, and the traditional northwestern Lone Pine stencil cut of the CCC, often placed within the apex of a gabled peak or on fixed decorative shutters. Overall, the fenestrations are symmetrical and simple, echoing the regional vernacular style from the early 20th century.

The buildings are suffering on-going water-damage due to failed roofing materials and leakage around the apertures.

Project treatments propose to rehabilitate roofing materials to reflect the historical value of the original construction.

The methods proposed will enable the continued adaptive reuse of these structures by the agency while enhancing and preserving their historic character. The rehabilitation and restoration methods chosen for project implementation will be guided by several documents including The Secretary of the Interiors (SOI) Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings and the Secretary of the Interiors (SOI) Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, & Reconstructing Historic Buildings.

In addition, all proposed activities fall within the Standard Resource Protection Measures (SPRM’s) as outlined in the Programmatic Agreement among the U.S.D.A., Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5), California State

Historic Preservation Officer, Nevada State Historic Preservation Officer, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation Regarding the Processes for Compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act for Management of Historic properties by the National Forests of the Pacific Southwest Region, Class III: Historic Structure Treatments (PA), The SOI Standards, and SOI Treatment Guidelines.

The Programmatic Agreement outlines a priority process for the identification and preservation of historic properties on federal lands. Federal agencies are charged with adhering to the following process for historic structures:

1. Identify, retain, and preserve historic materials and features

2. Protect and maintain historic features

3. Repair historic materials and features

4. Replace deteriorated historic materials and features
