Built in 1931 in the southeastern corner of Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, the Wild Basin House exemplifies the National Park Service rustic architectural style. This modest log residence was constructed according to plans from the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Designs for $2,500. The one-story structure measures 23 by 31 feet, featuring a fieldstone foundation and shallow-pitched wood shingle roof, with three rooms comprising its simple interior. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
