The Rocky Mountain National Park Utility Area Historic District in
National Park Service Rustic style. Most buildings were built of logs under a policy of blending with the natural landscape. Later construction has respected the materials and scale of the area. Structures include McLaren Hall, designed by landscape architect W.G. Hill, a number of employee residences including the superintendent's residence, equipment sheds, garages and utility buildings. Many of the buildings built in the 1930s were built by Civilian Conservation Corps labor.[2] The Beaver Meadows Visitor Center is individually listed as a National Historic Landmark.[3]
