Abstract
The intent of this report is to assist the many interested parties who seek to preserve,
interpret, utilize and enjoy the historic Cloud Cap Inn by informing decision making
processes to further the preservation of this historic cultural resource. This historic
structure report is written in partial fulfillment of the academic requirements for the
degree of Master of Science in Historic Preservation at the University of Oregon under
Program Director Professor Kingston Wm. Heath. This historic structure report will
especially benefit the building's owner and tenant, the United States Forest Service
and the Hood River Crag Rats Mountain Rescue Association respectively, who have
judiciously maintained and preserved the building in tandem since 1954. The Crag Rats
have conducted a majority of modern preservation work undertaken at the inn through
a special use permit with the United States Forest Service. Their work on the Cloud
Cap Inn has been in compliance with the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office
since 1974 when the property was individually listed on the National Register of Historic
Places.
