Extensively remodeled by the Civilian Conservation Corps during 1935-36, the station was part of the campaign of natural resources enhancement undertaken during the New Deal era. The five wood frame buildings comprising the station reflect the Forest Service’s ideals of simplicity, harmony with nature, and use of natural materials.
