One of the first buildings constructed in the new village envisioned by Herbert Maier, Myron Hunt, and Thomas Vint, the Park Administration Building was constructed in 1924.

Its stone first story and overhanging rustic frame second story reflect the granite canyon walls of the valley surmounted by the conifer forests above the rim.
