Chicken Coop - National Parks Gallery

Constructed at some point between 1910 and 1929, the chicken coop is a 1-story 4’x15.5’ wood-frame structure with a shed roof, cedar shingles, and vertical board siding. The chicken coop dates from early in the Cant sheep ranching era when it was originally located somewhere near the sheep barn. Later in the sheep ranching development period, it was moved southeast of the house. It was moved to its present location and reduced to half its original size during the 1950s, which was during the cattle ranching development period. The NPS restored the chicken coop exterior and uses the structure for interpretation.
