Summary
| Description | The Stovepipe Wells Village is located several miles north of Furnace Creek, is the smaller of the two major tourist service hubs in Death Valley National Park. Unlike the architecture found at Furnace Creek or at other tourist facilities and historic structures in the park, the structures at Stovepipe Wells are more rustic in style, and made of wood, quite distinct from the Spanish Revival style displayed by most of the other structures. The settlement’s origin can be traced to 1906, when temporary tents were constructed to serve as a way-station for tourists and travelers between the city of Rhyolite, Nevada and Skidoo, California, two ghost towns, and former mining boom towns, located in or near Death Valley. The current structures were constructed starting in 1925, and use local stone in their construction, with motifs and decorative elements being present in the retaining wall in front of the building. Today, the original structures from the 1920s remain, with many newer structures, including a general store, gas station, and additional lodging being located in close proximity to the structure. |
