The Breitenbush Guard Station in Willamette National Forest, Detroit, Oregon was designed by architects of the United States Forest Service and was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935. [1]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 for its Rustic architecture, as part of a multiple property listing of Depression Era works of the U.S. Forest Service in Oregon and Washington. [3] Its nomination asserts:

The Breitenbush Guard Station exemplifies the rustic architectural idiom developed

by the Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Region, to impart Forest Service identity and to represent its purposes and ideals; and signifies the agency's particular interpretation of a singular expression of early twentieth century

American architectural thought. [3]

The nomination continues to assert that the station is an "outstanding example of an architectural locution invested with special aesthetic and associative values by the agency that created it." [3]

The listing included two contributing buildings, a single dwelling and a secondary structure, on 2.9 acres (1.2 ha). [1] The station building was an H-shaped, wood building on a concrete foundation, with a high gabled roof. [3]

It was removed from the National Register in February 2011 after being destroyed by fire in 2000. [2] [4]
