Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service issued a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI KEWE 10 0003) titled "Critical Stabilization Historic Structure" focused on emergency preservation work at the historic house located at 158 Limerick in the Keweenaw National Historical Park area. Built around 1864, this house is identified as one of the few surviving residential structures connected to Keweenaw's early industrial copper mining era, making it an important cultural resource tied to the region's mining history and community life.
The core purpose of the funding is immediate stabilization to prevent further deterioration and the potential loss of historic material. According to the announcement, the property includes three structures that are already in critical condition due to weather exposure and long-term lack of routine maintenance. Two of the three roofs have failed, which is a major driver of rapid decay because roof failure allows water intrusion that can quickly damage framing, masonry, interior finishes, and other irreplaceable historic fabric. The opportunity stresses urgency, noting that without prompt action there is an imminent risk of losing significant historic fabric.
This award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the work would be carried out with active involvement from the National Park Service rather than as a simple pass-through grant. The property owner, the Quincy Mine Hoist Association, is described as allowing the National Park Service to stabilize the buildings, indicating that the project would likely involve NPS preservation expertise and oversight to ensure the stabilization approach aligns with historic preservation standards and the park's stewardship responsibilities.
Funding details indicate an expected single award with an estimated total funding amount of $33,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is listed as "Other" with the explanation "Cultural Resources," reflecting that the project is specifically aimed at protecting historic structures and related heritage assets rather than, for example, natural resources or recreation infrastructure.
Eligibility is narrowly limited to owners of historic buildings located within the boundaries of Keweenaw National Historical Park. The opportunity is tied to CFDA number 15.407 (Keweenaw National Historical Park and Keweenaw NHP Advisory Commission Partner Enhancement Grants). Key timeline information shows the notice was posted May 11, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 21, 2010, and an archive date of June 20, 2010, indicating it was a short-window, time-sensitive call consistent with the emergency stabilization nature of the work.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the contact listed is Theora McVay, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 402 661 1662 (an email is referenced but not provided in the supplied text).
