Death Valley Ranch, Guesthouse (Hacienda), Death Valley Junction, Inyo County, CA

Significance: Construction of the Guest House began in October 1927. Work continued intermittently through 1931 when all construction at Death Valley Ranch was suddenly halted, leaving some sections, particularly in the basement, unfinished. Its brown and beige stucco exterior, red clay tile roof and highly decorative use of hand-forged metal, "antiqued" wood and colored tile make this structure an integral part of the Death Valley Ranch complex.
