B. Elliott State Park Day Use Historic District is a group of four buildings and structures in S. B. Elliott State Park, in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, within the Moshannon State Forest. The resources were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) as day use facilities, with CCC Camp S-116 beginning development in June 1933.","why_significant":"The district is argued to be significant for its association with the Emergency Conservation Work of the Civilian Conservation Corps, one of the major New Deal relief programs. Its log and stone buildings are presented as examples of the rustic style promoted by the National Park Service, and the nomination links the work to federal recreation building and to employment of jobless young men during the Depression.","narrative":"Located in Clearfield County within the Moshannon State Forest, the S. B. Elliott State Park Day Use Historic District consists of four buildings and structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1933 and 1941, when CCC Camp S-116 was active in the park. The largest is a one and one-half story log office with saddle corners, white cement chinking and a stone chimney, described as one of the largest and most unique CCC buildings in Pennsylvania. A log lodge with an inset porch, a small log tool shed, a stone latrine, a stone pump shelter decorated with pebbles set into cement and a log-columned pavilion complete the group. The buildings use local natural materials in the rustic style promoted by the National Park Service. The district is significant for its link to the Emergency Conservation Work, the federal relief effort of the New Deal, and for its role in employing thousands of young men during the Depression. It is regarded as a representative example of state and federal cooperation on state-owned land.","period_of_significance":"1933-1941","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Rustic","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Good condition; the district retains its original integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:33.051243-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/87000023.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000023/4fec001ede-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000023/4fec001ede-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Ruhrfisch","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:S.B._Elliott_State_Park_Office_front.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Ruhrfisch</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:S.B._Elliott_State_Park_Office_front.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71992784","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q64911616"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/clearfield-county/elliott-s-b-state-park-day-use-district-87000023/"}
