The historic Park Headquarters Building of 1929 (now commonly known as the Ranger Operations Building, and, for consistency, referred to as such throughout this document) at the Grand Canyon National Park is an outstanding example of rustic style architecture developed during National Park Service expansion and growth in the 1920's. Designed under the direction National Park Service landscape architect Thomas Chalmers Vint, the building was constructed in 1929 to serve as Grand Canyon's second Park Headquarters, superseding a 1921 structure located nearby. Within the context of the development of the rustic style, the Ranger Operations Building best exemplifies the fusion of the American log cabin and the European chalet.
