Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Notice of Intent: Conduct Workshop to Stabilize Larrieu Cabin" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00226) is a National Park Service (DOI-NPS) discretionary funding opportunity intended to support a hands-on preservation workshop focused on stabilizing the historic Larrieu Cabin. The project centers on safeguarding a vernacular mining-era domestic structure in the Mojave National Preserve that, while visibly deteriorated, is still structurally sound in key ways and retains a high degree of historic integrity. The cabin is described as a one-story building with uneven window and door placement (asymmetrically fenestrated) and is notably constructed from hand-adzed timbers and repurposed railroad ties, with raised wooden flooring. Even though the site requires significant cleanup and a careful cataloging of materials, the walls remain exceptionally strong and enough original fabric is still present (framed openings, wall sections, roof rafters, and flooring) to make a true preservation effort feasible rather than a reconstruction.
A central justification for investing in this stabilization work is the cabin's significance as a tangible example of the domestic side of mid-20th-century mining history. The building is utilitarian in design, but the craftsmanship and effort evident in its hand-tooled materials set it apart from other mining cabins in the preserve. The continued presence of unaltered original materials contributes to its authenticity, and the structure is said to retain the "feeling" of a mining cabin, reflecting the persistence and resilience associated with its historic occupants. Importantly, Larrieu Cabin has been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places at the local level, with concurrence from the California State Office of Historic Preservation, which underscores that the structure has recognized historic value and warrants careful treatment consistent with preservation standards.
The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service would typically expect substantial involvement in guiding or participating in the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The funding ceiling is $29,400, with an expectation of a single award, indicating a small, focused project aimed at immediate stabilization and practical preservation outcomes rather than a multi-year rehabilitation. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources (CFDA 15.945), consistent with NPS stewardship work that often integrates cultural resource preservation within protected landscapes.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted June 10, 2016, created the same day, and had an application closing date of June 19, 2016. Overall, the opportunity is narrowly tailored: it is designed to fund and implement a preservation workshop that addresses urgent stabilization needs while leveraging the cabin's surviving original elements to maintain authenticity, protect its character-defining features, and extend the life of a historically significant mining-era structure.
