Built around 1930, the building was designed by Thomas Chalmers Vint of the National Park Service in association with landscape architect E.A.

The structure was part of a planned ensemble at what was then called Yakima Park, high on the northern flank of Mount Rainier.

Similar structures may be found at the Ohanapecosh, Longmire and White River campgrounds in the park.

The low building is framed in peeled logs on a stone foundation, set into a hillside and surrounded by native landscaping.
