Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00016
The grant opportunity titled "Exterior Stucco Assessment and Pilot Conservation Treatment for the John Moulton House" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00016) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement focused on preserving a highly recognizable historic structure in Grand Teton National Park: the John Moulton House, commonly known as the "pink house," located within the Mormon Row Historic District in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The Mormon Row Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 because it represents the last major wave of homesteading in the region and in Wyoming more broadly. The district includes a range of surviving historic resources tied to rural agricultural settlement, such as vernacular houses, outbuildings, multiple iconic barns, an irrigation network, a broader cultural landscape, and archaeological traces of earlier homesteads and structures that no longer stand. It is also a place that receives substantial public attention through interpretation and visitation, even if the park does not quantify the visitor totals.
Within this setting, the John Moulton homestead stands out as one of the most visited and visually identifiable properties, largely because of its distinctive stucco exterior and its contrast with the log construction that many people associate with homesteading-era buildings in the American West. Built in 1938, the house reflects a transition toward more formal architectural forms compared with the more common log cabins of the earlier homesteading period. The description emphasizes that the building still has a high level of historic integrity, meaning many original or character-defining features remain intact. Those features include the two-story form, the prominent pink stucco exterior that gives the house its nickname, milled interior woodwork, and a notable amount of original interior finish material such as floral wallpaper and linoleum surfaces.
The purpose of the funding is centered on evaluating and addressing the condition of the exterior stucco, using an assessment and a pilot conservation treatment approach. In practical terms, this implies documenting the existing stucco, identifying deterioration mechanisms, and testing or implementing an initial treatment strategy that can guide longer-term preservation work. Because the pink stucco exterior is specifically called out as a defining feature, the project is framed as protecting the very element that most strongly communicates the house's identity and historical significance to the public.
Administratively, the opportunity is offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.945). It is a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically signals that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in shaping or overseeing the work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating the work is intended to be carried out in partnership with an academic institution that can provide technical expertise, documentation capacity, or conservation science support. The total award ceiling listed is $58,464, with an expectation of a single award. The posting dates show it was created on November 16, 2017, with an original closing date of November 25, 2017, suggesting a short application window and a targeted project scope.Apply for P18AS00016
