Built in 1936 by the Civilian Conservation Corps company quartered at Camp South Fork, the Parker Meadows Shelter is typical of "rustic" style trail shelters or fire guard shelters constructed on the National Forest during the period. Constructed along an important Forest road, the shelter was intended for recreational purposes and associated with a nearby campground. The shelter was open for use by anyone and probably contained a fire-tool cache in a locked box, for potential fire emergency use (LaLande, August 4, 1999). Records of CCC activity associated with Camp South Fork refer to five man-months of labor at Parker Meadows...

It stands 24 tiers on the field side. All of the stadium windows have been covered with wood. The lower windows...
