Standing Stone Administration Cabins

The State of Tennessee Department of General Services awarded J&S Construction a 300-day contract to repair and renovate historic cabins at Standing Stone State Park in Overton County. This project was the fourth contract J&S Construction has completed at the popular, rustic park.

J&S Construction was responsible for the renovations and repairs of deteriorated building materials to 10 historic cabins which were originally constructed in 1939 as a project of the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Work Projects Administration (WPA), the Resettlement Administration and the U.S. Forest Service.

All work was scheduled for completion in May 2020, but J&S Construction was able to reduce the overall schedule more than 50%, completing the project five months ahead of schedule.

Restoration work included framing, subfloor and finish flooring, cabinetry, electrical, plumbing fixtures, masonry, showers, light fixtures, paint and grading.

J&S Construction worked alongside Sparkman and Associates, the Designer of Record based out of Knoxville, to follow the Secretary of the Interior’s (SOI) Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. These standards promote historic preservation best practices that will help to protect our nation’s irreplaceable cultural resources while providing guidelines for preserving, rehabilitating, restoring, and reconstructing these historic properties.
