The Stockwore Ranger Station is located approximately 40 miles northwest ofDuchesnewith access from State Highway 35/U .S. 40. The buildings are situated in an open area at the foothills of the Uinta Mountains near what was once the town of Stockwore. The area surrounding the station is covered with sagebrush and grass. Thick stands of spruce and aspen trees grow near the dwelling and other buildings. The buildings that comprise the ranger station were completed at various times from the c.1914 to 1985. The ranger station, built in c.1914, is a one-story cross-wing, wcxxl-frame building with drop siding and wcxxl shingles in the gables. The structure rests on a fieldstone and masonry foundation and has a wcxxl shingle-covered, gable roof Main entrance is through the porch on the south side of the building, which enters into the living room (formerly the kitchen). A bedroom and a small dining room are located behind the living room at the rear (north) of the building and a bathroom (formerly a pantry) at the east end. The cross wing is attached to the west end of this portion of the house. Separate doorways lead to the kitchen (formerly a bedroom) at the rear of the cross wing where the rear entryway is located, and to the office at the front. There are brick chimneys is located at the center of both wings, to which a stoves were attached. Windows consist offour and six-light wcxxlen casements, and four-over-four and six-over-six, double-hung, wcxxlen sashes with simple I "x 4" wood framing on the exterior. Other buildings/structures on the site include: • a I 'l2 story, bunkhouse, storeroom ofwcxxl frame construction with a corrugated-metal covered, gable roof (c.1959, not contributing) • a shed ofwood frame and plywood construction, with an asphal-shingle covered, gable roof, (not contributing) . • a garage/storeroom ofwood-frame and clapboard construction, with a standing seam metal-covered, gable roof • a shed of wood-frame and clapboard construction, with a stamding seam metal-covered gable roof • two fire/water sheds of wood-frame and corrugated-metal construction • a large open-air hay store of wood-pole and wood-plank construction, with a corrugated-metal shed roof • a small storage shed of wood-frame and plank construction, with a wood-shingle covered, shed roof • a small open-ended shed of wood frame and drop siding construction, with a standing-seam metal-covered, shed roof • a storage shed of wood-frame and wood-shake construction, with a wood-shake covered, gable roof • a small storage shed of wood-frame and wood-shake construction, with a wood-shake covered, gable roof • an outhouse of wood-frame and clapboard construction, with a wood-shingle covered, gable roof • a corrugated-metal silo (not contributing) • a wooden pole fence surrounding the yard of the dwelling, and one fronting the site The ranger station is painted what appears to be "Cinnamon brown. " The other buildings are painted bro\\TI with brown trim. The ranger station has undergone some minor interior alteration including reorganization of room usage and installment of a bathroom where the pantry used to be (c.1950s). Because it is used very little the ranger station is in fair condition. The other historic buildings have also had some minor alteration and are in marginal-to-fair condition. The buildings, with the exception of the ranger station, are still used seasonally by the Forest Service, although plans are being made to restore the ranger station for use as a local history museum .. |
