Olympic National Park Headquarters Historic District
January 01, 1970
The Olympic National Park Headquarters Historic District overlooks Port Angeles, Washington from Peabody Heights, consisting of 6 contributing buildings built in 1940–44, 8 contributing structures and 17 non-contributing properties that act as the administrative headquarters for Olympic National Park. The contributing structures were built using locally obtained native materials in a late interpretation of the National Park Service Rustic style. Native landscaping enhances the site. Much of the work was carried out by Public Works Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps workers.[2]

The Headquarters District is close to the park, but outside its primary boundaries. It was the first park headquarters to be situated outside its park.[2] The district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
