dc.description.abstractShelters along the trail system of what is now Olympic National Park (the Park) have been a dry place to rest for employees and the public alike since they were constructed beginning in the early 1900s. They began as an integral component for sheltering workers tasked with monitoring the vast Olympic forest and the natural resources of timber and game therein. Today, they continue to be used by Park employees as well as by the ever-growing number of Wilderness visitors each year. Of the over ninety that once stood in boundaries of the Park, only nineteen remain as of 2023. This project outlines the history of the development of the trailside shelter network in the Park as well as the legal issues surrounding the preservation of those that remain. From there, the project elaborates on the various shelter typologies and their unique construction styles in the larger context of National Park Service conventions of their time. Furthermore, the project proposes evaluating the Historic Trail Network of Olympic National Park—including the trailside shelters as contributing features—as a cultural landscape resource that is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Lastly, the project explores how the preservation of historic structures in designated Wilderness offers the opportunity to preserve more intangible aspects of our nation’s heritage in the form of the traditional trades such as the preservation carpentry and masonry.en_US
