Custer, SD (Custer County)
Wind Cave National Park historic district (area) consists of fifteen historic structures. All the structures are built of frame or masonry tile and are covered in stucco. Most are trimmed with reddish-brown sandstone and bear the architectural details of the English Vernacular Revival applied to the rusticated style.
From 1890 to 1930 several structures were erected at the cave including residences, a hotel and administration headquarters. But in the 1930's when the CCC was assigned to work in the park, a uniform plan for buildings and landscaping was developed by the Park Service.
Administration Building (HS-1) This is an irregular shaped building which includes the original structure built in 1936 and a major addition built in 1980. From the front, the building appears to be a single story structure. Viewed from the rear, there is a daylight basement level in addition to the main level. (pg 30) (1)
