Cabin Creek Ranger Residence and Dormitory

Cabin Creek Ranger Residence is a housing complex for park rangers in Sequoia National Park consisting of a main dwelling with three rooms and a separate dormitory with two rooms. Both structures were built from timber and remain in place along Generals Highway to accommodate National Park Service staff working in the park.

This ranger residence was built in 1934 when workers from the Civilian Conservation Corps at Buckeye Camp undertook its construction. The project represented part of a broader effort by the National Park Service to develop housing infrastructure for park management during that era.

The residence represents the National Park Service rustic architectural style, incorporating natural materials that connect the structure with the surrounding forest environment.

The structure sits along Generals Highway within the park and can be spotted from surrounding trails and park areas. Public access to the interior is limited since the buildings remain in active use as working facilities for park personnel.

The original building site was supposed to be Lost Grove, but the relocation led to the use of different timber instead of the sequoia logs originally planned. This change was a practical adjustment made necessary by the new location and local material availability.
