The Sun Camp Fireguard Cabin, also known as the Baring Creek Cabin or Baring Cabin, in Glacier National Park is an example of the National Park Service Rustic style. Built in 1935 by local contractor Harry E. Doverspike, the cabin is the sole remaining building of the Sun Camp Ranger Station complex of buildings, which at one time included a ranger station, barn and woodshed located near the mouth of Baring Creek. The fireguard cabin was built according to cabin specifications provided by the NPS Division of Landscape Architecture. The only apparent dissimilarity is the center-wall placement of the entry. There is no indoor plumbing and heat is provided by a wood stove whose stovepipe exits through the back log wall to the stone chimney.[2] [3]
