The White River Mess Hall and Dormitory is the sole surviving Civilian Conservation Corps camp structure within Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Built in 1933, this wood-framed building exemplifies National Park Service rustic architecture and originally encompassed 2,185 square feet of living and working space, including a kitchen and dining room, living room, two bathrooms, a bedroom, bunkroom, and service porch. Located at the White River entrance to the park as part of a larger service complex, the building now functions as storage. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 as a contributing property to the White River Entrance Historic District and is situated within the Mount Rainier National Historic Landmark District, which preserves the park's comprehensive collection of Park Service rustic design.
