Longmire Buildings, National Park Service architecture in Mount Rainier National Park, United States
The Longmire Buildings consist of three major structures: an administration building, a community center, and a service station built with natural stone and wood materials.
Ernest A. Davidson designed these buildings in 1927 as part of the early development phase of Mount Rainier National Park, establishing a central administrative headquarters.
The buildings demonstrate the National Park Service rustic style, incorporating local materials and construction techniques that influenced national park architecture across America.
Located in both Lewis and Pierce Counties, the buildings continue to serve park visitors with administrative services, community spaces, and basic facilities.
The Administration Building features heavy boulder rubble walls and a log-frame design, while the Community Building displays exposed scissor-truss log roof framing.
