The Complex is a series of seven buildings and a circulation system designed and developed between 1951 and 1958. Cecil Doty, a leading park architect in this era, designed the visitor center.

This Complex exhibits distinctive characteristics of the Park Service Modern style, and is an early example of Mission 66 planning; in addition it possesses a high degree of integrity of original design.

Short Physical Description:

|
Long Physical Description:
| This buillding faces in a southerly direction. A double driveway approaches the center of the building with garages flanked by the two residences. Designed to house permanent employees, it is now used for park offices. It was designed utilizing standard Mission 66 two-bedroom plans. The living units are mirrored. Originally the front facades featured two fixed pane windows flanked by paired casement windows, but they have been replaced by two fixed/single casement windows. Two of the original window units at the rear of the house have also been replaced, but the rest of the windows are original. The units have entry doors front and rear, and a third door at the back of the garage.
