Built in 1939 in Grand County, this comfort station exemplifies the National Park Service rustic style that characterized public amenities in America's parks during the Depression era. Designated as Comfort Station No. 246 at Timber Creek Campground, the structure reflects the CCC and WPA-era architectural philosophy that emphasized harmonious integration with natural landscapes through the use of local materials and modest, functional design. The building's listing on the National Register of Historic Places recognizes its significance as a surviving example of mid-twentieth-century park infrastructure and the NPS rustic movement's influence on recreational architecture.
