Comments!Alterations Converted to bunkhouse by 1983. 1983 inspection form says plumbing was installed around 1968.

Like the house, it had Firtex walls and varnished hardwood floors. During hjs 1936 inspection, George Nichols noted the building would have a "used toilet and lavatory fixture" in its toilet room. The small building became crowded by 1964 when it accommodated a ranger, assistant ranger, clerk, and forestry technician. Staff moved to a leased facility in the late 1960s and the office was converted a bunkhouse «#0210, formerly #1117 and #1203) , likely soon thereafter. (It was a bunkhouse by 1983). The front room became a bedroom while the back room served as a kitchen and a closet next to the restroom was plumbed to be a shower. Eligibility Justification Many of the bunkhouse's exterior modifications are compatible with the historic character of the site and rely on acceptable substitute materials. Like the dwelling, it contributes to the ranger station's significance as a historic district even though it may lack individual distinction. While its integrity of materials, workmanship, and design are diminished, it retains high integrity of location, setting, feeling, and association, Page 3 |
