The Headquarters Administration Building of Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Santa Cruz County, California, was a historic structure built in 1936 by crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps. It was built out of local materials (redwood logs and stone), and was one of the best-preserved examples of the CCC's work in the California state park system. The building continued to perform its original function, housing the park's administrative offices and serving as a contact point for park visitors,[2] until it was destroyed by the wildfires sparked by the lightning storm of August 16, 2020.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017, and was delisted in 2023.[1]
