Condition Assessment Report Historic Huron Islands Light Station

Marquette County, Michigan

Introduction

The Huron National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is seeking a federally qualified historical architect to conduct a detailed condition assessment of seven

(7) buildings/structures within the Huron Islands Light Station built on Lighthouse (West Huron) Island between 1868 and 1934. This work is intended to be a first step in a lengthy, systematic process, and it will serve as a foundation for subsequent work.

Established in 1868, the Huron Islands Light Station is located on Lighthouse (West Huron) Island in the Huron NWR within Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, approximately 50 miles northwest of Marquette, Michigan and 40 miles northeast of Baraga, Michigan, Section 28, T53N, R29W (Figure 1). The seven (7) buildings/structures within the historic light station to be assessed include the 1868 Lighthouse, 1934 Assistant Keepers Quarters, 1898 Oil House, 1898 Privy, 1898 Fog Signal Building, 1913 Pathway and 1913 Tramway/Turntable. As a note, since 1970, the refuge is also designated as the Huron Islands Wilderness.

Figure 1: Location of Huron NWR within Lake Superior.

The project will require brief archival research with materials provided, field documentation, condition analysis and report preparation. Lead project personnel must meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for a historical architect under 36 CFR Part 61 (refer to the following link): https://www.nps.gov/history/local-law/arch_stnds_9.htm https://www.nps.gov/history/local-law/arch_stnds_9.htm

SOW - Huron Islands Light Station, Huron National Wildlife Refuge Page 2 of 10

Familiarity with Michigan’s Upper Peninsula maritime history and architecture, as well as demonstrated experience conducting condition assessments on historically significant buildings and structures is highly desirable.

Background

In 1868, the U.S. Lighthouse Board constructed the Huron Islands Lighthouse on Lighthouse (West Huron) Island. Over the years, the Lighthouse Service (and later the United States Coast Guard (USCG)) constructed other buildings to supplement the function of the lighthouse as a light station.

From 1869-1951, the Huron Islands Light Station was operated on a seasonal basis with the lighthouse keeper and assistant keeper and their families arriving on the island in the early spring and leaving as the shipping season closed in the late fall. After 1951, the station was seasonally manned by five unrelated USCG crew members. In 1972, the light was automated, eliminating the need for a seasonal occupation of the island. Since then, the USCG still periodically visits the island to check on the light and its infrastructure. The light is currently powered by a photovoltaic electrical array constructed next to the Lighthouse.

The Huron NWR was initially established around the light station in 1905 with the Wilderness designation following in 1970. In 1978, all but 11 acres of Lighthouse Island was transferred to the control of the USFWS. In 1991, the USCG desired to transfer the remaining 11 acres to the USFWS and entered into an interim lease with the USFWS. Finally, the remaining 11 acres and the lighthouse structures were transferred to the USFWS in 1998 through the General Services Administration.

Cultural resources currently located on Lighthouse Island include: the stone Lighthouse (1868), the wooden Assistant Keepers Quarters (1934), the ferro-cement Boathouse (1913), the brick Oil House (1898), the brick Privy (1898), the concrete Dock (2008) and, on the other side of the island, the brick Fog Signal Building (1898), and the concrete block Barracks (1961). There are several other remnant site features associated with the light station including a small metal/concrete Tramway/Turntable (1913), fuel storage tanks, components of infrastructure from island utilities (phone, sewer and electric), and a Pathway (1913) consisting of concrete walkways, footbridges and steps.

The 1868 Huron Islands Lighthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on September 2, 1975 (NRHP # 75000955). The rest of the buildings/structures (except for the Dock, the Pathway and other site features) were declared eligible for listing on the NRHP by the USFWS on December 7, 2004. As of March 2021, the Pathway and Tramway/Turntable have been declared eligible to the NRHP.

The historic facilities on Lighthouse Island are greatly threatened due to benign neglect as a result of the automation of the light in 1972 and subsequent abandonment by the USCG. The situation is exacerbated by the constant budgetary constraints inside the USFWS whose mission does not emphasis historic preservation. Fortunately, starting in 1999, a newly formed non-profit organization named the Huron Island Lighthouse Preservation Association (HILPA), consisting mostly of descendants of former USCG employees stationed on the island, raised funds to complete a limited Historic Structures Report (HSR) in 2003 and replaced the roof on the lighthouse in 2006. However, the group’s energy and commitment waned in subsequent years and spotty maintenance was performed on the island facilities by the USFWS. Consequently, the buildings’ future remained precarious at best. By the early 2010’s, many of the buildings were showing accelerated wear/decay and without additional stabilization and preservation actions, the buildings will be lost forever.

SOW - Huron Islands Light Station, Huron National Wildlife Refuge Page 3 of 10

In response, the USFWS, in its 2013 Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP), laid out the following objectives and strategies to address specific, known cultural and historic sites on the island refuge within 15 years:

Objective: Within the life of this plan, Island cultural heritage holdings will be assessed and then maintained as determined necessary. Specific strategies under this objective include:

1. Ensure archaeological and cultural resources are identified, described, and taken into consideration prior to implementing undertakings.

2. Determine need and ultimate disposition of refuge buildings – there are eight buildings/structures on Huron Island associated with the old USCG station. The exterior of the lighthouse, a National Historic Landmark [Note: it is actually a historic property and not a landmark], has been rehabbed and maintained through the efforts of the Huron Island Lighthouse Preservation Association (HILPA). The remaining buildings are in various stages of decay.

3. Coordinate with HILPA to preserve and maintain structure and historical integrity of the lighthouse and associated structures selected for preservation.

4. Ensure all doors and windows on the lighthouse building, fog horn building, and barracks are either locked or covered with plywood to protect the interior of the buildings from weather damage, to prevent vandalism, for safety concerns, and to keep the general public from entering.

5. Cover all openings in the lighthouse keeper’s quarters by the end of fall 2013.

6. Within one year of completion of this plan, cut down and remove all trees and shrubs growing against or over any of the buildings and structures to maintain the exterior condition of the buildings.

7. Establish efforts with HILPA and others to develop an oral cultural history to preserve the “community memories” and maritime history of the Huron Islands.

Stemming from the objectives and strategies in the CCP, the USFWS, along with a newly revitalized HILPA and an additional new local partner, the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community (KBIC), have spent the last two years discussing the next steps in the management of the island and its historic buildings. In 2019, because the Huron Islands Light Station is within the Huron Islands Wilderness, the USFWS completed a Minimum Requirements Analysis (MRA) to determine what can be done with the buildings and still comply with the Wilderness Act of 1964.

In the MRA, the USFWS determined action was necessary in the Wilderness to fulfill the objectives and strategies outlined in the CCP and identified four possible alternatives for the future management of the Huron Islands Light Station.

1. Preserve all structures in place using only traditional (non-motorized) tools for maintenance;

2. Preserve all structures in place with the option of using motorized tools for maintenance;

3. Preserve the lighthouse, document, and preserve/demolish other structures as determined using only traditional (non-motorized) tools for demolition and maintenance; and

4. Preserve the lighthouse, document, and preserve/demolish other structures as determined with the option of using motorized tools for demolition and maintenance.

After consideration, the USFWS chose Alternative Four as the preferred management strategy. The USFWS determined that this alternative would provide the most positive permanent benefits to Wilderness character from benchmark conditions while still allowing compatibility with the refuge’s purposes and compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).

SOW - Huron Islands Light Station, Huron National Wildlife Refuge Page 4 of 10

In 2021, the USFWS finalized with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), Partners and public comments, a Cultural Resources Management Plan (CRMP) as part of a larger National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis of Alternative Four.

Following the analysis done within the MRA and CRMP, it is the decision by the USFWS that the Huron Islands Lighthouse will be preserved in perpetuity as with all the other historic properties clustered around the Lighthouse (Assistant Keepers Quarters, Privy, and Oil House). The Dock, Pathway, Fog Signal Building, and the Tramway/Turntable will also be preserved. The Boathouse will be rehabilitated in some fashion to be determined later in consultation with the partners. Conversely, the Barracks and various other hazardous site features (fuel storage tanks, and components of infrastructure from island utilities), will be demolished and removed from the island.

The historic properties slated for either rehabilitation/retention (Boathouse) or demolition/removal (Barracks) will have any adverse effects mitigated through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the partners. A condition assessment of the Boathouse was completed in 2020. This will provide a baseline for its modified rehabilitation.

The remaining seven (7) buildings/structures that will be preserved will need to go through a series of steps to make sure all proposed preservation activities follow the 2017 Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. A Condition Assessment Report is the first step in that path to fulfill the Preservation Standards.

Project Components

Purpose The purpose of this project is to research, document, and assess the condition of seven (7) buildings/structures built between 1868 and 1934 as part of the historic Huron Islands Light Station currently within the Huron NWR. See Appendix A for a complete outline of the resources under consideration for this project.

The final Condition Assessment Report (CAR) will consist of an analysis of the current state of the buildings/structures through:

1. Summary: brief summary of the construction history and significance of all the seven historic properties;

2. Documentation: detailed descriptions/sketches, photographs, and measurements collected during the field visit; collection/processing of appropriate paint samples for color analysis;

3. Evaluation: description of existing physical conditions of the buildings/structures; discussion of character-defining features; identification of all deficiencies;

4. Recommendations: a discussion of specific measures/treatments that should be taken to resolve these deficiencies and preserve character-defining features;

5. Priorities: the placement of these measures/treatments in priority order by urgency; and

6. Costs: the estimated costs of these measures/treatments in 2021 dollars both individually and cumulatively.

Treatment requirements will outline the laws, regulations, and functional requirements that are applicable to the recommended work areas, to include life safety, fire protection, energy, conservation, hazardous materials abatement, and accessibility. The CAR will recommend work tasks to accomplish

SOW - Huron Islands Light Station, Huron National Wildlife Refuge Page 5 of 10 the proposed treatment; provide an evaluation of proposed solutions; and describe specific recommendations for work, which will include alternate solutions, if required. The listing of these projects, priority standings, and estimated costs will feed directly into the USFWS’ 5 year rolling maintenance plan for Lighthouse Island. The USFWS will be involved in every stage of the CAR from staff assistance, review, project oversight and assurances that the CAR will conform to Department of Interior standards. HILPA, SHPO and KBIC will also extensively review and comment on the CAR.

It is anticipated that the CAR will help push the USFWS to establish a long term Programmatic Agreement (PA) with HILPA, KBIC and the SHPO that will be used by the USFWS as part of a master-planning guide for the preservation, rehabilitation and public interpretation of the facilities.

The CAR and PA will accelerate their preservation and rehabilitation program activities on the islands in an attempt to recapture Great Lakes maritime history that is on the verge of being lost through significant environmental decay and neglect.

It cannot be overstated how important the CAR is for future historic preservation activities on the island. The CAR, in concert with the limited HSR, establishes a baseline analysis from which the preservation treatment standards can be applied. The CAR will document the facilities integrity through historic and physical analysis, and, with the PA, help reduce costs and save time by shortening the approval cycles for preservation activities.

Activity: Summary of Archival Research The consultant will be expected to examine records (provided by the refuge as electronic and/or physical copies) as a foundation for preparation of a CAR. A list of sources is listed in this document and include the 2003 Historic Structures Report (HSR) and 2020 Hazardous Material Cleanup Feasibility Study. Other un-compiled documentation will be provided to the contractor as well. These documents illustrate architectural and engineering drawings, historic photographs, aerial views, and maps that depict the construction and evolution of the light station. The contractor shall incorporate any relevant materials into the CAR.

Activity: Field Documentation of Conditions The contractor is required to arrange and fund travel to Lighthouse Island to field assess and document the condition of both the inside and outside of seven (7) historic buildings/structures: the stone Lighthouse (1868), the wooden Assistant Keepers Quarters (1934), the brick Oil House (1898), the brick Privy (1898), the concrete Pathway (1913) and, on the other side of the island, the brick Fog Signal Building (1898), and the metal/concrete Tramway/Turntable (1913). While the concrete Dock will be retained in its current form, it was built in 2008. Therefore, it is out of the period of significance for the light station and will not be included in this project.

While Lighthouse Island is open to the public during daylight hours, it is unprotected and remote with no electricity, potable water, or bathroom facilities. The nearest public boating access points on the mainland are at Big Bay, Michigan and near Skanee, Michigan. The boat trip may take 45 minutes to 2 hours--one way. Additionally, the seas can be rough at times and frequent fog and rain can make boat access to Lighthouse Island difficult. Given the size of the dock, the only access is through small or moderate sized watercraft. The contractor must bring their own food and water and all generated waste (garbage and fecal) must be removed off the island at the end of the day. There is no camping allowed on the island. Daytrips only.

The gateway to the island’s inland is through the 30-foot-long concrete dock on the southeast tip of the island. Passage to the buildings is through the two to three-foot-wide concrete pathway which consists

SOW - Huron Islands Light Station, Huron National Wildlife Refuge Page 6 of 10 of walkways, steps and footbridges which can be moist and partially moss-covered. Accordingly, traversing the island can only be done on foot and with moderate difficulty. The contractor must have the physical abilities to carry equipment and walk around the changing elevations on the island on uneven ground. Additionally, the contractor must be able to walk carefully and climb steps within the somewhat deteriorated buildings (especially inside the 2-4 story lighthouse).

In 2020, all the buildings were assessed for hazardous materials, both inside and out, and most have been found to contain asbestos, lead-based paint and hydrocarbons to various levels. As a result, the contractor is required to take steps as appropriate (e.g. face dust mask, safety glasses, hard hat, long pants, long sleeved shirt, gloves, close-toed shoes etc.) to protect themselves from any exposure to these materials and other dangers. A copy of the hazardous materials report will be provided to the contractor.

The contractor will photograph, describe, measure each asset, recording the information within the final report. Selective collection/processing of paint samples for color analysis is also required.

Photography, Descriptions and Measurements The exterior of standing buildings should generally be recorded with at least five shots: setting, front and rear elevations, and three-quarter views from opposing corners. At least two photographs of the interior of every room should also be done. Any other special details and other features of interest should also be recorded. Structures such as the Pathway and the Tramway/Turntable should be recorded with multiple views of the setting, approaches, superstructure, substructure, and mechanical features, as appropriate. Photo files and logs will be included as deliverables under the terms of this contract.

Descriptions and measurements of the buildings/structures and their component parts shall be sufficient to enable the reader to understand how they were constructed, work together to ensure the integrity of the exterior envelope and could/should be repaired up the appropriate treatment option.

Some measurements of specific details, such as window and door openings, will help guide future contractors in any repairs or replacements.

GIS

The northernmost corner of each asset included in the study should be recorded with a handheld GPS unit to determine its Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and Latitude/Longitude (Lat/Long) location (to less than 2 meters). A linear feature such as the Pathway or Tramway should have more points recorded depending upon its length. Every 50-100 feet is suggested or at every significant turn or deficiency in the Pathway.

Activity: Evaluation of Measures/Treatments with Recommendations, Priorities and Cost Estimates Stemming from the collection of the descriptions, photographs and measurements, a list of measures needed to maintain the stated treatment standard shall be developed for each building/structure. Each measure should make logical sense as a confined package that would be given as an addendum to a future repair contractor under a detailed scope of work. For example, logical categories of work projects might include: foundation, steps/porches, siding/trim, roof, chimney/fireplace, windows/doors, first floor interior etc., electrical system, HVAC system, plumbing system etc. No lumping of projects into excessively large mixed categories (e.g. “all exterior” or “all interior” etc.) is allowed.

SOW - Huron Islands Light Station, Huron National Wildlife Refuge Page 7 of 10

Once a list of preservation work projects is generated, the contractor should place them into priority order based upon their urgency to protect the building/structure from decay (e.g. 1-12 with 1 being the most urgent). At the same time, the contractor should forward an estimate, in 2021 dollars, of the cost to conduct each work project. This estimate should consider the unique problems/costs incurred by having the building/structure on a remote island in Lake Superior. The Wilderness MRA also outlines the special conditions that would be placed on a contractor doing the projects. All this priority/cost data can be presented in tabular format. In the end, the contractor should tabulate the total cost for all the work projects, both for each building/structure and cumulatively across the light station.

Activity: Preparation of Draft and Final Project Reports The USFWS appreciates the importance of effective management. A firm fixed price contract for the CAR will be initiated with the contractor. In order to make sure cost and schedule are met with satisfactory results the schedule will be tracked by the Refuge Manager and the Regional Historic Preservation Officer.
