Six employee cottages built around 1930 should also be included in the Munson Valley Historic District. These dwellings in the stone housing area, structures #24, 25, 28, 30, 31, and 32, are considered architecturally significant because they were designed to coordinate with the rustic style of architecture used for the headquarters area. Although the park LCS lists the buildings as being built in 1927, the majority of them were built around 1930 and 1931. Aluminum roofing was added in the mid-1950s.
It is further recommended that the Machine Shop, Sign Shop, Garage and Workshed, Mess Hall/Bunkhouse, Transformer House, Meat House, and Naturalist’s House be restored to the park’s List of Classified Structures.
