United States historic place

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.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993[1] for its architecture, which is Bungalow/Craftsman style. It served historically as institutional housing. Two contributing buildings on 1 acre (4,000 m2) were included in the NRHP listing.[1] The station continues to be used for summer maintenance activities in Coronado National Forest.[2]
