Yosemite National Park is an American national park located in the western Sierra Nevada of Central California, bounded on the southeast by Sierra National Forest and on the northwest by Stanislaus National Forest. The Maintenance Inspection Guide is a working document. Its purpose is to assist in the maintenance of the immediate site and the following buildings of the Wawona Group: Little White (Manager's Cottage); Long T'Jhite (Clark's Cottage); Little Brown (Moore's Cottage); Long Brown (Washburn); Wawona Hotel; Hotel Annex; and Thomas Hill's Studio. This document is a guide for routine and bi-annual maintenance Inspections. Inspections would be documented by utilizing schedules and inspection forms. See Sections IIA and IIIA for descriptions of each type of inspection form. The utilization and expansion of existing building files will aid in the use of the inspection system and in maintenance, see Section IV, Building Files. The structures of the Wawona group are all of balloon framed wood construction. Because of the similarity of their architectural features, a format has been developed which can be used for all seven structures. For convenience the inspection guide is developed for a three ring binder system. This guide does not include cyclic maintenance requirements nor does it provide technical solutions to maintenance problems. Also, it does not include inspection or maintenance guidelines for mechanical and electrical systems. It is recommended that inspection and maintenance guides for these be established by a knowledgeable individual of the appropriate field. This working document is a tool for the maintenance staff in the observation of existing conditions and potential hazards. A strong maintenance system will enhance and lengthen the life expectancy of the Wawona Group, without changing any of its physical characteristics or integrity.
