Although the cattle ranch covers considerable acreage, the ranch buildings are organized into three general complexes according to their function. From north to south along the river, these complexes are (1) Shop, (2) Headquarters, and (3) Residence. All except a few buildings noted below were constructed during the 1930s and 1940s and retain a very impressive degree of integrity of structure, materials, workmanship, location, appearance, feeling, and association. Several structures are included in the ranch nomination because of their role in the growth and operation of the ranch even though they are no longer in active use and have been made obsolete by changes in technology in recent years, especially the connection to the electrical power grid after the period of historic significance, and one feature, a set of piers for a building, is included because of its association with the architectural heritage of the ranch. A. Shop Complex The shop complex includes a cluster of buildings and structures at the north end of the ranch buildings whose function was, and remains, that of housing essential services for the cattle operation such as weighing and dipping the cattle and also some other functions historically connected to the broader activities of the ranch, such as the chicken / turkey coop and the water diversion from the Snake River by a headgate. Originally there were some more buildings in this complex
