Civilian Conservation Corps
This prime example of Spanish-Pueblo Revival style architecture was built between 1937 and 1939 to house the National Park Service Region III headquarters. The building testifies to the work and dedication of the members of Santa Fe Company 833 of the Civilian Conservation Corps who were part of the 3.25 million Americans who labored and learned during the hard times of the Great Depression. The CCC was one of President Roosevelt's most successful New Deal programs. During this period (1933-1942), the CCC conserved topsoil on millions of acres; built roads, buildings, dams, telephone lines, and parks; and replenished forests, waters, and wildlife.
