Black Moshannon State Park Historic Districts - Maintenance District

Maintenance District

The maintenance Historic District at Black Moshannon State Park comprises four CCC-built structures and covers 2.75 acres (1.11 ha) along Munson Road, in the northwest corner of the park. The storage building is a wood-frame structure with gable roofs and clapboard siding. It is similar to storage buildings built by the military during the 1930s and 1940s. A three-bay garage of standard military design is included in this historic district. It is two stories high and has clapboard siding. The gas pump house has an extended eave to protect the gas pumps, and is also a standard military design. The ranger's residence is a 1 1⁄2-story gable-roofed house with a small addition on one end. It was-sided with aluminum siding at some point after the CCC built it. There is one non-contributing structure in the district: a Maintenance Shop built in 1978.

Famous quotes containing the words maintenance and/or district:

    In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.
    George Grosz (1893–1959)

    Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)
