The ranger station complex features stone construction with rustic wood details, mostly executed using log construction. Although designed by the U.S. Forest Service, the design of the complex is closely related to the National Park Service Rustic style that prevails at nearby Grand Canyon National Park, and may be the best example of the style in the Forest Service. Wall construction uses local sandstone, sheltered by wide eaves, with wood plank doors and wood sash windows. The complex consists of the ranger dwelling, a pump house, barn, garage, seed house and a ranger's office, all built in 1942.[2][3]
A newer complex, built in the 1960s, is located a short distance away and is screened from the historic area.[2]
