The district lies along Munson Road and covers about 2.75 acres.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the district is associated with Emergency Conservation Work by the Civilian Conservation Corps, a major New Deal relief program. Its buildings are presented as examples of the standardized military designs the CCC used for maintenance facilities in non-public park areas, which served as models for later wartime construction. The district is also linked to federal employment of jobless young men during the Depression.","narrative":"Along Munson Road on the northeast edge of Black Moshannon State Park in Centre County, a small maintenance area was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps from 1933 to 1937 while Camp S-71 operated at Beaver Meadows near Philipsburg. The district includes a storage and maintenance building, a two-story garage and maintenance building with a three-bay garage on the first story, a gas pump house whose roof extends over the pump, and a one-and-a-half-story residence. All are wood frame with clapboard siding, except the residence, which has aluminum siding. The buildings follow standard military designs the CCC used for non-public park facilities, and they are regarded as models for the many structures the military later built during World War II. The district also reflects the CCC's broader role in developing public outdoor recreation and in employing thousands of young men during the Depression. A 1978 maintenance shop within the boundaries is excluded from the count of contributing resources.","period_of_significance":"1933-1937","architect_builder":"CCC Camp S-71","architectural_style":null,"criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Four of the five buildings are contributing; the fifth, a 1978 maintenance shop, is non-contributing.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:32.602043-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/87000097.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000097/7c1cf5dbcb-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87000097/7c1cf5dbcb-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"User:Ruhrfisch","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Black_Moshannon_SP_Maintenance_and_Pump_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">User: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:Black_Moshannon_SP_Maintenance_and_Pump_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71992504","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q98896689"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/centre-county/black-moshannon-state-park-maintenance-district-87000097/"}
