Elliott, S. B., State Park Day Use District

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.
