Crater Lake Superintendent's Residence

[7] The Superintendent's House was completely restored and retrofitted for safety in order to become useful once more to serve scientists and students in studies pertaining to Crater Lake and the surrounding area.

The main house is used as library, meeting space, and offices and is furnished with the original Imperial Monterey furniture.

An adjacent secondary building serves as a bunkhouse for visitors, and houses a mixture of reproduction and original Imperial Monterey furniture.

The Imperial line utilized mahogany as their primary wood, usually stained dark brown with a silvery sheen, created by grain filler, probably silex or calcium chloride.

The restoration show covers chosen were rich red and cordovan colored waxed top grain aniline leathers, which was also appropriate to the time.

Original Imperial Monterey furniture shown in the dining room it may have resided in at the Superintendent's House at Crater Lake National Park, now the Science and Learning Center. The hutch is a prohibition hutch, and has a hidden latch whereby a pop-up bar raises in the back.
