The Lowell Ranger Station near Tucson, Arizona was built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It was designed by USDA Forest Service.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 for its architecture, which includes Pueblo Revival and other styles.
The NRHP listing included institutional housing and government office space in three contributing buildings (office, barn/garage, and house) on 2 acres (0.81 ha).[1][2] They were built by the CCC—Civilian Conservation Corps.
It was deemed significant "for its association with the expansion of Forest Service administration from custodial superintendence to active resource management" as well as for embodying "the use of standard plan architecture developed in the 1930's by Regional Office architects" and representing "a distinctive Forest Service architectural design style and philosophy."[2]:5
