Koziol C, Colorado State University Architectural Preservation Institute, Ore J, Ogle R, Anthony R, Bisonette C, Golson F, Harris S, Lueck M, Malone P. 2009. Historic Structures Report: Snake River Land Company. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
Located near the Moran entrance to Grand Teton National Park (GRTE), the Snake River Land Company Headquarters, played a succession of roles in the development of the park over the years and was known by several names. Originally the John W. Hogan Homestead, and later the Snake River Land Company Residence and Office, the Buffalo Fork Ranger Station, Jackson Hole Wildlife Park Headquarters and the Buffalo Dorm, this building is both historically significant in the park’s history and is a fine example of rustic style architecture. The major concerns for the historic building include structural issues and roof integrity. Life safety factors also need to be improved. Addressing these three concerns through rehabilitation would permit reuse of this building by the Grand Teton National Park. Based on park needs this building could be rehabilitated as a residence or office and potentially both. These uses are compatible with the historic nature of this building.
