Fire Warehouse, 730 Laurel Street, Butte Falls, Jackson County, OR

Significance: Structures in the Butte Falls Ranger Station compound were built (or, in the case of Building 2200, the Fire Warehouse, remodeled) by crews of Civilian Conservation Corps enrollees. Construction of the Butte Falls compound was one of many Pacific Northwest examples of the significant-scale Federal public works projects on the national forests during the Great Depression. These buildings exemplify the Pacific Northwest's Forest Service administrative structures of the Depression-era that employed the "Cascadian" or "rustic" style of architecture. Due to these qualities, the CCC-built Butte Falls Ranger Station compound buildings, including the Fire Warehouse, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
