HPC-Schedule-Print-Small.Pdf Tuesday, September 30th, 2014 Travel to Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park 4:00 pm Hotel Check-In 5:00 pm Registration & Welcome Reception Old Faithful Lodge Recreation Hall Join old and new friends for a hearty round of hors d’ouevres and a warm welcome from conference partners. Wednesday, October 1st, 2014 7:30 am Registration/coffee at Old Faithful Lodge Recreation Hall 8:00 am Conference Orientation, Goals & Logistics Tom McGrath FAPT, Facilitator Chere Jiusto, Montana Preservation Alliance, Conference Coordinator 8:30 am National Park Service Rustic Architecture Laura Gates, NPS Superintendent Cane River Creole NHP, LA. Ms. Gates will present an overview of park rustic architecture including early hospitality structures and architect Robert Reamer’s structures, such as the Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone. The landscapes of our national parks contain iconic natural features that are indelibly imprinted in our minds: Old Faithful at Yellowstone; El Capitan and Half Dome at Yosemite; the General Sherman Tree at Sequoia National Park. These natural features frame our perception of the west and our treasured national parks. Synonymous with those iconic landscapes are the masterful buildings that grew out of those special places. Developed by the railroads, concessionaires, private interests, and the National Park Service, a type of architecture evolved during the late 19th and early 20th centuries that possessed strong harmony with the surrounding landscape and connections to cultural traditions. This architecture, most often categorized as “Rustic” served to enhance the visitor experience in these wild places. The architecture, too, frequently became as significant a part of the visitor experience as the national park itself. Arguably the most recognized of these special architectural places is Old Faithful Inn. This presentation will assist in understanding the nature and context of the Rustic architecture tradition, of which Old Faithful is a part, which is critical to understanding the best approaches for preserving these landmarks while continuing to use them in ways that preserve them, too, for future generations. 9:30 am Break 10:00 am Rehabilitation and Preservation of the Old Faithful Inn Jim McDonald, Principal A&E Architects, Missoula, MT Renovation of architect Robert Reamer’s 1904 Old Faithful Inn “Old House” occurred in five phases from 2004 to 2013. The work maintained and preserved the historic architectural character, character-defining features, and material integrity requisite to maintain its National Historic Landmark listing. The rehabilitation of original materials in concert with major seismic improvements, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection systems contribute to the safety and sustainability of the historic property, and protects and restores the unparalleled assemblage of log work comprising the important character-defining interior. Mr. McDonald’s session will discuss the many and varied challenges of preserving and adapting the Old Faithful Inn to meet current needs. From the challenges of meeting fire and life saftey codes, to the intracacies of design and renovation in the extreme environment and remoteness of Yellowstone, to treating the building as an integrated and balanced whole (foundations, structure, building envelope, interior finishes and building systems), and planning for ongoing maintenance, the session will discuss a wide range of preservation issues as they relate to the interrelationships between the building assemblies. 11:00 am Concurrent Hands-On Field Demonstrations Repairs to Rustic Architectural Features – rafter and purlin tails and knee braces Darren Kisor & Xanterra Yellowstone Historic Preservation Crew Prior to the historic preservation movement, the standard method to repair deteriorating tails and braces was to cut them off at the eave line. Today, park preservation crews are much more sensitive. This hands-on demonstration will show how past repair techniques have evolved and how practitioners can make future repairs more efficient while continuing to preserve the original character of a building or structure. Maintaining and Repairing Rustic Exterior Log Walls Demonstrators: Kirby Matthew, Supervisory Exhibit Specialist, US Forest Service Region 1 Heritage Preservation Team, supported by the Yellowstone HPC. See repairs to various log corner notch types, such as the saddle, dovetail, and V-notch. Also, see mock-up demonstrations of treatments to reface wall logs or spandrel logs. 12:00 pm Lunch 1:00 pm Stewardship and Concessions at Yellowstone National Park Mary Murphy, Branch Chief, Concessions Facility Management, Yellowstone National Park Ms. Murphy will recount how concessioner-provided stewardship and preservation at Yellowstone began about 1970. She will examine a few highlights leading up to the present, including the National Park Service “buy-out,” a watershed event that influenced how concession-assigned facility management has evolved both at Yellowstone and within the Park Service’s Commercial Services Program. 1:30 pm Concurrent Hands-On Field Demonstrations Interior Maintenance and Conservation Darren Kisor & Xanterra Yellowstone HPC team Why is 100+ year old graffiti interesting to look at, while new graffiti is frustrating for those of us that are trying to conserve these historic buildings? This demonstration will look at methods used to handle visitor graffiti, whether starting with a clean slate eliminates this problem, and what else can be done to address this challenge. Structural Log Replacement/Repairs Kirby Matthew, Supervisory Exhibit Specialist, US Forest Service Region 1 Heritage Preservation Team, supported by the Yellowstone HPC Mr. Matthew will demonstrate mock ups of various needling techniques used for whole log replacements, as well as chainsaw techniques used for splicing and creating dovetail joints for partial log replacements. The discussion will include information on hardware used and timber rings. 2:30 pm Break 3:00 pm Threats to Rustic Architecture Panel Presentation Facilitator: Tobin Roop, Chief of Cultural Resources, Yellowstone National Park Panelists: Mary Hopkins, Melissa Robb, WY SHPO; Pete Brown, Montana SHPO; Chere Jiusto, Montana Preservation Alliance Rustic resources are threatened by neglect, ownership issues, visitor expectations, lack of education, and federal policy, and many other forces. Our panelists will give case studies to show how stewards can retain an intrinsically rustic experience. 5:00 pm Dinner on your own at Old Faithful Inn (Several 8-person tables have been reserved) 7:30 pm ***Special Evening Tours of the Old Faithful Inn Tour Guides: Ruth Quinn, a Robert Reamer & Fred Wilson interpretive expert at Xanterra Parks & Resorts; James McDonald AIA, Principal A&E Architects, Missoula, MT; Rand Olsen, Contractor, Rand Olsen Construction LLC. Thursday, October 2nd, 2014 7:30 am Coffee at Old Faithful Lodge Recreation Hall 8:00 am Condition Assessments and Inspections of Rustic Log Architecture Dr. Harrison Goodall, Principal Conservation Services, Langley, WA A condition assessment is often the first step in the planning process of a preservation project. This comprehensive evaluation is a baseline record of the condition of the features, components, systems, and utilities of a building, and becomes a tool for guiding and prioritizing future treatment. The unique character-defining features of historic log buildings, especially those with rustic architectural style, will be illustrated to reveal preservation issues and causes of their degradation. Details about how to implement and prepare an assessment document will follow. 9:00 am Concurrent Hands-On Field Demonstrations Chinking and Daubing Treatments for Rustic Log Architecture Chris Robinson, Superintendent, NPS Historic Preservation Training Center, Frederick, MD. Field mock-up demonstration supported by the Yellowstone HPC. Mr. Robinson will demonstrate wood chinking techniques, including color and texture matching techniques for daubing mortars; reinforcing techniques, and how to evaluate daubing samples. Maintaining and Cleaning Exterior Log Walls Alan Williams, NPS Cultural Resources Specialist, Western Center for Historic Preservation, White Grass Ranch, Grand Teton National Park, supported by the Yellowstone HPC. Mr. Williams will demonstrate various techniques and treatments for applying or removing paints and coatings, and resealing and staining wall logs; setting up sample panels and creating a treatment submittal for evaluation; applying waterproofing, sealants, and treating log checking; applying mildew removal and decay treatments (borate rods, boracare treatments); and applying various abrasives for cleaning log surfaces. 10:00 am Break 10:30 am Best Practices For Preserving A National Historic Landmark Hotel Tamara Burns, AIA, HopkinsBurns Design Studio, Ann Arbor, MI “A year in the life of Grand Hotel“ focuses on best practices in maintaining a unique world class hotel. Grand Hotel, the world’s largest summer resort hotel, is located on Mackinac Island in northern Michigan and is built almost entirely of Michigan white pine. The hotel is shut down each winter when the bulk of the maintenance and improvements happen. There are three main criteria that make this work unique: sensitivity to working on a National Historic Landmark; awareness of the special considerations resulting from the cycle of seasons; and the historic culture and broader environment of the island where cars have been banned since

  • Yellowstone National Park! Renowned Snowcapped Eagle Peak
    YELLOWSTONE THE FIRST NATIONAL PARK THE HISTORY BEHIND YELLOWSTONE Long before herds of tourists and automobiles crisscrossed Yellowstone’s rare landscape, the unique features comprising the region lured in the West’s early inhabitants, explorers, pioneers, and entrepreneurs. Their stories helped fashion Yellowstone into what it is today and initiated the birth of America’s National Park System. Native Americans As early as 10,000 years ago, ancient inhabitants dwelled in northwest Wyoming. These small bands of nomadic hunters wandered the country- side, hunting the massive herds of bison and gath- ering seeds and berries. During their seasonal travels, these predecessors of today’s Native American tribes stumbled upon Yellowstone and its abundant wildlife. Archaeologists have discov- ered domestic utensils, stone tools, and arrow- heads indicating that these ancient peoples were the first humans to discover Yellowstone and its many wonders. As the region’s climate warmed and horses Great Fountain Geyser. NPS Photo by William S. Keller were introduced to American Indian tribes in the 1600s, Native American visits to Yellowstone became more frequent.
