Longhorn Cavern Administration Building

Longhorn Cavern opened as a state park in 1932. From 1934 to 1942, Company 854 of the Civilian Conservation Corps worked here to explore and develop the cavern. Using hand labor and native materials, the workers built this structure in a style now known as National Park Service Rustic. Completed by 1936, the one-story stone pavilion served as administrative offices for the park until 1967, and an outside stairway leads to an observation terrace.
