Bandelier Historic Structure Report: CCC Buildings

THE BUILDINGS (continued)

B-11, Residence 3

This building (figures 82 and 84) was constructed in 1937 as a residence. A wood-storage building and root cellar were added in 1939 (figure 74) and a propane line to the kitchen from gas tanks on the southeast side of the building was installed in the same year. An oil furnace was added to this building in 1943 (figure 83). The heating system was changed to natural gas by 1964. [123] The living room is the only room in this building with a stone floor, others are tile.

Several changes have modified the building in recent years. These changes include the installation of Andersen thermal pane windows, addition of a foam roof, replacement of the furnace, and remodeling of the kitchen (figure 85).
