We’ve been working with the Friends of the Oregon Caves & Chateau in our MEP program since 2016. They have requested a $455,690 grant to repair and restore the 97 remaining doors and their related hardware dating back to the Chateau’s original construction in 1933. Built in Cave Junction, the Chateau is one of the National Park’s Great Lodges and a National Historic Landmark. The six-story hotel has 23 rooms, a fine dining room and a 1930’s era coffee shop. The Friends have been working on preservation efforts to restore the doors, lighting fixtures, historic balconies and all of the interior Monterey-style furnishings, all while the National Park Service is rehabilitating the building itself. Once the restoration is complete, the Oregon Caves Chateau will be the only lodge in the National Park Service with its original furniture in each room, complimented by restored doors with their original hardware!
