The Columbine Work Station in Coronado National Forest near Safford, Arizona was built in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The complex is a representative example of a Depression-era Forest Service administrative center. The station is on a high point of the Pinaleño Mountains in forested land. The main residence is in the Forest Service bungalow style. The barn is unique, not designed to a standard Forest Service prototype.[1]
The station was built by a CCC unit operating from a camp about five miles away in 1934–35.[1]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 for its architecture, which is Bungalow/Craftsman style. It served historically as institutional housing. Two contributing buildings on 1acres were included in the NRHP listing. The station continues to be used for summer maintenance activities in Coronado National Forest.[1]
