Whale House Report

Kavilco has finally received the final Architectural Analysis and Condition Survey of the Chief Son-I-Hat Whale House from MRV Architects in Juneau, Alaska. The report also includes a Report on the History, Condition and Preservation for the Son-I-Hat Whale House and Totem Park by Mary Pat Wyatt, the firm's Conservation Consultant.

The architects have come up with a preliminary $2.5 million cost on reconstruction and repairs on the house. Once a funding source is located, expenses could increase as work begins. We are still hoping for a direct appropriation from the Federal government since this facility was under the care of the U.S. Forest Service until Kavilco's land selection process was completed in the 1970s. Applications for other grants will be ongoing.
