Save America's Treasure's Grant - Bodie Structure Stabilization

Save America's Treasure's Grant - Bodie Structure Stabilization

Stabilize 13 historic structures located in the National Register - listed Historic District at Bodie State Historic Park to protect the buildings from further deterioration. Project will include stabilizing foundations and interior walls, repairing roof and siding, re-pointing brick walls, replacing rotted timber braces with in kind material, repairing rafters and sheathing, and glazing windows dependent on the current conditions of each structure. Structures will include: the Wagon Shed and Stable, Wheaton and Hollis Hotel, Standard Mine Assay Office, Sam Leon Barber Shop, Bell Assay Office, Tom Miller Stable and Ice House, Boone Store, Reddy Residence and Storage Area, Seiler House, Carpenter Shop, Parr Ruins, Historic Building "N", and the Red Barn. Qualified cultural resources staff shall record all structures for treatment prior to the implementation of the project and will include photo documentation of exterior and interior details and measured drawings in order to document buildings history, significance, construction details and condition problems. An archaeological resource identification and data treatment program scaled to size and scope of the project will be employed to monitor ground-disturbing work in areas of high cultural resource sensitivity. The monitoring program will be timed to coincide with a screen test from excavated soils. Ground disturbing work will be suspended if potentially significant archaeological resources are exposed and/or adversely affected. Project will resume after a proper archaeological data treatment program has been designed and implemented.
