Built in 1934 as part of New Deal-era improvements to public lands, this comfort station in Schafer State Park, Mason County, exemplifies the National Park Service rustic style that characterized Depression-era recreational infrastructure. Designed to serve day-use visitors while harmonizing with the natural landscape, the structure reflects the philosophy of its period: functional public amenities built with materials and forms that respected their woodland setting. Today it remains a contributing property to the National Register of Historic Places, documenting both the early development of state park facilities and the architectural principles that governed federal work programs during the 1930s.
