An HFP is a required part of the proper restoration of an NHL. This assures that the designation is retained and maintained when a concessioner is chosen to operate the lodge. This is a multi-phase plan that will culminate in a Maintenance Plan. The Chateau was built in 1934 by the Oregon Caves Company, group of local investors. The design of the buildings, using local material in a rustic fashion is in keeping with most of the historic lodges found in the National Parks. Grants Pass builder and self taught architect designed and built the Chateau. The bark siding is from native Port Orford cedar trees. The building's massing proportion, 6 stories, 28,000 square feet, with 25 rooms, 2 restaurants and sited within a canyon at the head of the ravine, allows it to be less intrusive and makes it a remarkable asset to the region and the National Park Service. Visitors come from all over the US and many foreign countries. 33848 The Friends are restoring the Monterey furniture collection, original to the Chateau and have received many pieces as donations to fill out the collection. This will be the largest single public collection of this iconic furniture and the Chateau will be the only lodge in the NPS with it's original furniture in the guest rooms. Wildly popular when it was manufactured from 1929 to 1941 by the Mason Manufacturing Company in Los Angeles. The Spanish Revival style is hand crafted from Oregon Alder, and many pieces include wrought iron accents. There are several styles, some painted with a floral design and others with a Spanish motif. The furniture is authentically branded with a horseshoe and the word Monterey. 88004 In 2025 the Oregon Caves Chateau was designated as one of the 11 Most Endangered Historic Properties in the US by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. This designation brought national attention to the need for restoration and a partnership with the National Trust. Also, the Friends have formed a Blue-Ribbon Committee to work with the Board to assist with the fundraising to assist the NPS to secure the funding needed to complete the full historic restoation of thee Chateau. 135391 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Sue Densmore 5419441139 120 Wimer St Ashland OR 97520 Bernie Thurber President 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Molly Spencer Vice President 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Kasey Holwerda Secretary 5.00 X 0 0 0 Deelia Warner Treasurer 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Sue Densmore Executive Director 40.00 X 41750 0 0 41750 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 210358 74087 284445 1153 1153 367 212 155 155 285753 155 0 1153 41750 41750 51228 51228 51527 51527 3982 3982 224 224 1634 1634 1733 1733 17448 17448 4241 4241 1576 1576 2863 2863 Project Expenses 20555 20555 Fundraising 14777 14777 Moving Expenses 3764 3764 Utilities 2976 2976 2847 2847 223125 135391 72957 14777 149123 198948 87189 99992 15000 15000 251312 313940 0 0 X 251312 313940 251312 313940 251312 313940 62628 0 X 0 0 0 X 58485 147022 68488 195209 284444 753648 58485 147022 68488 195209 284444 753648 753648 181 827 1219 1153 3380 757028 4788 0.99550 0.99830 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Organization reviews and approves the form 990 prior to filing.
