Preliminary Estimate for Restoration and Stabilization of Buildings, Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park
Jones R. 1972. Preliminary Estimate for Restoration and Stabilization of Buildings, Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Denver Service Center, Denver, Colorado
A plan was proposed for the establishment of a Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park based upon a joint effort between the governments of the United States, Alaska, and the City of Skagway. The plan in addition was designed to include Canadian participation, to achieve a truly international park. In this plan, the restoration and preservation of some 29 historic buildings in the Skagway Historic District was an important element in the interpretation of the Klondike Gold Rush. To provide background data for the presentation of this plan, the Pacific Northwest Region requested the Denver Service Center to prepare preliminary cost estimates for the full restoration of certain Skagway buildings for exhibits, the adaptive restoration of others within the Historic District for gift shops and other tourist facilities, and the stabilization of less significant structures. The cost estimates for each building consider options for full restoration, adaptive restoration, and stabilization. The report includes photographs.
