Vermont Division for Historic Preservation Vermont Division for Historic Preservation Memo To: Vermont Advisory Council on Historic Preservation From: Jamie Duggan, Senior Historic Preservation Review Coordinator CC: Frank Spaulding, FPR, Laura Trieschmann, SHPO Date: February 16, 2018 Re: Dutton Pines State Park, Dummerston, Vermont In consultation with the Department of Forest, Parks and Recreation, we have identified a project review subject to 22 VSA Chapter 14 that will result in Adverse Effects to Historic Resources at the Dutton Pines State Park in Dummerston, Vermont. Please review the supporting materials provided for a full explanation of existing conditions, identification of historic resources and assessment of adverse effects. Working together in consultation, FPR and DHP have come to agreement on a list of proposed and recommended stipulations that we believe will serve as reasonable and appropriate mitigation, suitable to resolve the adverse effects identified. We are currently working on a rough draft of a Memorandum of Agreement that will reflect the final agreed-upon measures, once we have received your direction and approval. The following are the stipulations we jointly offer for your consideration and discussion at the upcoming ACHP meeting on February 23, 2018. VDHP and Applicant agree as follows: 1. FPR will continue the discussion about the park’s future with local organizations, the community and other interested parties. 2. FPR shall complete A Maintenance Plan for Preservation for the complex within one (1) year from the date of this MOA. a. FPR will utilize the expertise of appropriate subject craftspeople and technicians for the various material concerns (e.g. preservation mason for stone fireplaces and water fountains; log- building expert for Pavilion, roofer, etc.) b. FPR will provide appropriate treatment recommendations (action/frequency/cost) for stabilization and short/long-term “mothballing” of resources until future use can be identified. 3. Within three (3) years from date of approval, FPR shall retain a qualified historic preservation consultant, as defined in 36 CFR Part 61, to prepare and submit to the National Park Service a Nomination form to the National Register of Historic Places for the Dutton Pines State Park complex. 1 State of Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation 1 National Life Drive, Davis 2 Montpelier , VT 05620-3801 www.vtfpr.org Tel: (802) 522-0798 E-mail: [email protected] February 16, 2018 Vermont Advisory Council on Historic Preservation Laura Trieschmann, State Historic Preservation Officer Division for Historic Preservation 1 National Life Drive Davis 6 Montpelier, VT 05620-0501 RE: Demolition of two structures at Dutton Pines State Park It is with regret that Vermont State Parks, Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation consult with and seek concurrence from the Advisory Council for removal of a pumphouse and CCC era toilet building structure at Dutton Pines State Park. Dutton Pines State Park is a small wayside-type picnic area that operated in a day use capacity from the mid 1930’s until 1983. The park has not had staff or operating facilities since 1983. The park is largely of local significance for its recreational value. The subject buildings have deteriorated to a point beyond recovery and there is no current or planned program for the property that would require reestablishment of the facilities. Local staff continue to explore options for the programmatic use for the property beyond what it is today. As mediation for this removal, Vermont State Parks will execute the actions outlined in the proposal brought forth by the Division for Historic Preservation. We believe these actions will protect the remaining structures for the hopeful day when a program that uses and interprets these cultural resources will once again have a place at Dutton Pines.

Davis Building, 6th Floor Montpelier, VT 05620-0501 RE: Dutton Pines State Park Toilet Building & Pump House Removal, Dummerston, Windsor County Dear Jamie: The Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation is submitting the following project for review in accordance with 22V.S.A. 14 The Vermont Historic Preservation Act. This accompanies the Historic Preservation Project Review Cover Form and attachments submitted via http://accd.vermont.gov/historic-preservation/review-compliance/checklist, Description of the project and project goals: We plan to remove two severely deteriorated structures at Dutton Pines State Park. A toilet building and a pump house will be removed and the site restored. Both structures were mothballed when the park ceased formal operations in 1983. There are no longer utility services to either structure and no reasonable way to restore their use and no demand for the services they once provided. A structural analysis was undertaken by a Professional Engineer, and a Historic Preservation report was authored by Lyssa Papazian. We are requesting concurrence with Ms. Papazian’s conclusion which states “Dutton Pines State Park has architectural resources significant in the context of the CCC collection of Vermont’s State Parks as well as local significance for its association with an early farm, reforestation effort and memorial plantation. The resources are worthy of preservation though two of them appear not to be salvageable.” We have established a good working relationship with the Dummerston Conservation Commission who has an active interest in the property and we are working to retain the two remaining structures on the property; the picnic shelter and caretaker’s cabin.

The entire structure was investigated including the foundation, first floor structure, wall framing and the roof structure. No interior or exterior finishes were removed during the investigation which limited the assessment to immediately visible portions of the framing and foundations. The general construction and overall condition of the ±10’ x ±27’ single story toilet building are well described and documented in the Dutton Pines State Park Historic Preservation Report prepared by Lyssa Papazian dated August 13, 2013. The building is separated into three distinct sections: a male toilet room space on one end, a utility room in the middle, and a female toilet room space on the opposite end. The following report should be utilized in conjunction with the aforementioned Historic Preservation report. This report provides additional detailed information on the overall structural condition and integrity of the building. Foundation Existing Conditions: The building has a ±5’ deep cast-in-place concrete foundation. No structural cracks were observed in the foundation and there are no signs of cracking or displacement due to frost action in any locations. The existing foundation is structurally sound and in good shape at this time. The dirt floor basement is dry, indicating that the foundation is properly drained. There are full height 8” thick concrete walls at third points of the structure that extend across the full width of the structure, directly under the interior wood walls that separate the toilet and utility spaces above. These interior concrete foundation walls bear on 30” wide strip footings. The exterior wall footings appear to be 20” wide which is more than adequate for a structure this size. The exterior foundation wall thickness is unknown but appears to be more than adequate given the present condition of the walls. Foundation Analysis and Recommendations: The foundation is structurally sound and does not require any repairs at this time. First Floor System Existing Conditions: The first floor system is a reinforced concrete 5” thick suspended slab that is supported on the exterior walls and on the intermediate concrete bearing walls at third points of the structure described above. Although the reinforcing steel layout in the suspended slab is unknown, the slab appears to be in good shape with no July 9, 2015 T.R. Fellows Engineering Page 1 of 3 compromising structural cracks. There is a small hatch in the middle section (utility room) that provides access to the basement area. First Floor Analysis and Recommendations: The first floor slab does not require any repairs at this time and will likely remain in good condition in the future if it were to be loaded only by human traffic or similar. Roof System Existing Conditions: The single gable roof is framed with double 2x4 rafters at 24" o.c. throughout the

We made it work with our extraordinary staff, board members, and volunteers who are extremely talented, committed, and a lot of fun to work with. Thank you! While this is a time when we can take great pride in our accomplishments, it is not a time when we can rest, even for a minute…the needs in our communities are greater than ever and growing, and the Thomas Hark with children Eli (left), VYCC is an important part of the answer. Zachary (middle), and newborn Rosie (right). Our mission of teaching individuals to take personal responsibility for their own actions, what one says and does, is absolutely vital and essential to creating strong and healthy communities. It is these lessons learned in the Corps that will make the difference in the years and decades to come. While it is true that we operate state parks and do incredible trail and other natural resource work, and that this work all by itself makes the VYCC vital to Vermont, the true value of this organization is what individuals learn from their experiences, and then take with them and use the rest of their lives…it is the values of respect, hard work, and personal responsibility that become imbedded in an individual after a stint in the Corps. Many people think of the VYCC as that small group who built a local trail…though few realize over 350 Staff and Corps Members were enrolled in 2002 and completed over 80,000 hours of important conservation work on 800 distinct projects in every corner of Vermont.

This list T includes all the places to visit that are mentioned in the natural community profiles, plus several more to round out an exploration of each biophysical region. The list of natural communities at each site is not exhaustive; only the communities that are especially well-expressed at that site are listed. Most of the natural communities listed are easily accessible at the site, though only rarely will they be indicated on trail maps or brochures. You, the naturalist, will need to do the sleuthing to find out where they are. Use topographic maps and aerial photographs if you can get them.
