Kelso Depot Historic Structure Report PDF Download

Excerpt from Kelso Depot Historic Structure Report, Mojave National Preserve, California A Historic Structure Report is prepared to provide an analysis of requirements for treatment of a historic resource for preservation and use. Historic Structure Report standards are found in nps-28, the Cultural Resource Management Guidelines. Treatment recommendations are developed in conformance with historic preservation standards and guidelines and national and state codes. The Historic Structure Report includes documentation of the history and importance of a structure, evaluation of the condition of the structure, consideration of alternative methods of implementation, and recommendations for appropriate preservation measures and the best possible strategies to achieve management goals while protecting the qualities and characteristics of the resource which make it eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. The Kelso Depot is one of the significant cultural resources within Mojave National Preserve, representing one of the major influences on the history of southeastern California, an element in the history of railroad development in the western portion of the United States, and one of the few surviving examples of railroad related architecture in the southwest. After the building no longer provided support for the Union Pacific Railroad functions here and was closed in 1985, the effort to preserve this historic structure began with local citizens, which resulted in transfer of ownership to the Bureau of Land Management, then to the National Park Service upon the creation of the Mojave National Preserve. This historic structure report is an element of planning for the preservation of both the natural and cultural resources of the Preserve.
