The Entrance Station at Devils Tower National Monument is a log cabin in the National Park Service Rustic style, built in 1941.[2] The cabin is based on 1933 plans created by the National Park Service Landscape Division for a now-vanished caretaker's cabin at Aspenglen Campground in Rocky Mountain National Park, adapted by NPS architect Howard W. Baker of the Branch of Plans and Design for dual use as an entrance station and as a residence.[3] It features a unique porch with rough-cut projecting log ends in a scooped pattern.
The interior was renovated in 1999, replacing the living spaces with office space.[4]
