Historic Structure Report: Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico, CCC Buildings
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) building complex sits at the bottom of Frijoles Canyon and forms the general interpretive introduction to the significant cultural resources of Bandelier National Monument. The park's other noted features--its natural and geophysical resources, which are integrally linked to its cultural resources--are obvious as one travels the mesa and descends into the canyon. For years, the subject buildings received little recognition as historic structures significant for their own intrinsic merit, an understandable fact given the value of the park's resource--the prehistoric Indian ruins of the 12th to 16th centuries. However, this situation has changed, and the buildings are now considered historically and architecturally significant structures consistent with the park management objective to 'preserve and maintain the cultural and natural features of the monument.' The buildings are nationally significant. In 1987 the secretary of the interior designated the group a national historic landmark district. Included in the study area are the 31 CCC buildings in Frijoles Canyon in the residential, administrative, maintenance, lodge, and campground areas, and the fire lookout and entrance station on the entrance road. The landscape features in immediate vicinity of the residential, administrative, lodge, and main parking area are also included. Excluded from the study are the campground, entrance road, and surrounding landscape features.
