Grand Canyon South Rim Historic Maintenance and Warehouse Complex: Historic Structure Report

The buildings in this report were constructed between 1924, when the seminal Grand Canyon Village Master Plan was adopted, and the late 1930s concurrent with the works of the Emergency Conservation Work (ECW) program and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) program. The research clarified the role of the Grand Canyon National Park’s service buildings and the development of the Park’s maintenance area as part of the overall implementation of the Grand Canyon Village Master Plan. The construction histories of the buildings illustrate the important role of New Deal funding in the completion of the master plan. Research also gave some insight into the service needs in developing and maintaining the Grand Canyon National Park. Two remarkable aspects of the 1924 Master Plan are that the plan outlined innovative and appropriate development strategies, and that the plan was almost fully executed soon after its adoption. The 1924 Master Plan prioritized the existing natural setting and adapted development to the terrain and vegetation. The plan also grouped similar, compatible uses and separated potentially conflicting uses. Buildings were located to take advantage of the terrain and the natural vegetative screenings.
