B. Elliott State Park Family Cabin Historic District is a group of twelve Civilian Conservation Corps cabins and latrines in a wooded area of S. B. Elliott State Park, on PA Route 153 about 9 miles north of Clearfield in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. The buildings date from 1933 to 1941.","why_significant":"The district is argued to be significant for its association with the Emergency Conservation Work of the Civilian Conservation Corps, a major New Deal relief program, and for its rustic architecture, which follows the style espoused by the National Park Service. The document also cites its recreational use over about fifty years and its role in employing jobless young men during the Depression.","narrative":"Twelve buildings built by Civilian Conservation Corps Camp S-116 between 1933 and 1941 form this family cabin area in S. B. Elliott State Park, in a wooded part of the Moshannon State Forest near Clearfield, Pennsylvania. The group includes six cabins and six pit latrines. The cabins use standard CCC designs in four plans, including L-plan, rectangular, cross-gable and T-plan forms. Several have log walls with saddle corners and white cement chinking, and others have stone columns, fireplaces and chimneys. The buildings use local natural materials and follow the rustic style promoted by the National Park Service, which was meant to blend structures into their surroundings. The district is regarded as significant for its link to the Civilian Conservation Corps, one of the most important New Deal relief programs. The work also employed many young men who had been jobless or homeless during the Depression. The buildings have been used for recreation for roughly fifty years.","period_of_significance":"1933-1941","architect_builder":"CCC Camp S-116","architectural_style":"Rustic","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"The park's recreational facilities were developed by CCC Camp S-116; the district is described as retaining its original integrity.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:33.832806-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/87000024.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000024/7cd9f098e6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000024/7cd9f098e6-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Ruhrfisch","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:S.B._Elliott_State_Park_Cabin_1.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_Cabin_1.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71992786","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q98843061"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/clearfield-county/elliott-s-b-state-park-family-cabin-district-87000024/"}
