Torres L and Baumler M. 1984. A History of the Buildings and Structures of Faraway Ranch: Historic Structure Report, Historical and Archeological Data Sections, Chiricahua National Monument. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Denver Service Center. Denver, CO
This study provides a history of the existing structures in the Faraway Ranch Historic District, including their origins, evolution, and uses over the years. The structures that make up the Faraway Ranch Historic District have significance in architectural, agricultural, conservation, pioneering, business (farming and guest ranching), and social (immigration and women) history. The significance of all other existing structures within the historic district lies in the integrity and unity which they give to the ranch. Each structure served a specific purpose, and together with the Main House they give meaning to the ranch. Efforts began in 1983 to produce a Historic Structure Report for the property. Included in this study are the Historical and Archeological Data Sections and the Historic American Building Survey drawings of the property. Treatment is addressed in separate documents and calls for preservation and rehabilitation of the complex and interpretation of its significance to the public.
