The Caverns Historic District encompasses the central developed area of Carlsbad Caverns National Park in Eddy County, New Mexico. Built between the early 1920s and 1942, the complex features Pueblo Revival and National Park Service rustic architecture, designed by Thomas Chalmers Vint and others. Early structures were constructed of local limestone in Pueblo Revival style, while later buildings employed adobe in New Mexico Territorial Revival style. Thirteen buildings within the district are designated as contributing structures. Between 1940 and 1942, the Civilian Conservation Corps provided labor for the most recent construction. The district is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties.
