The Wallace E. Pratt House, also known as Ship on the Desert (sometimes hyphenated), was the residence of
Pratt and his wife, Iris, lived at the Ship On The Desert until 1963, when Pratt's health dictated a move to Tucson, Arizona.[4] The house was donated to the new park along with 5,632 acres (2,279 ha) of lands in the northern part of the proposed park by the Pratts between 1959 and 1961. It was used as a residence for National Park Service employees.[3] The house is occasionally open for tours sponsored by the National Park Service.
The house was featured on the National Trust for Historic Preservation's 2018 list of most-endangered historic locations.[5] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 15, 2011.[1][2]
