Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936–1946, this complex is the headquarters for field operations in the Malheur National Forest and is typical of projects carried out by the CCC on behalf of the Forest Service. It represents that era's shift in the Forest Service's architectural vision toward comprehensive site planning, as well as the Service's policy evolution from custodial superintendence of the national forests toward active natural resource management.[8]
