The park's first administration building dates from 1916 and now houses the Longmire Museum and Visitors Center. It was built in the Parkitecture style - a rugged, often hand-built style, designed to blend in naturally with the environment. This style is common among many western US Parks, including Mount Rainier, Yellowstone and Yosemite.

The remains of Soda Springs, one of 49 mineral spring that attracted visitors to this area in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The springs were developed by the Longmire family, who first settled the area in 1883 after building a wagon trail from Ashford, 13 miles (21 km) away. In addition to improving the springs, the Longmires constructed a series of cabins, tents, a 5-room hotel, and hiking trails to Paradise.

By 1915 the Longmires and the National Park were no longer seeing eye-to-eye, and the Longmires leased the property to a hotelier, who improved and continued to operate the springs until the National Park Service purchased the property in 1939.

You can visit the remains of a few mineral springs and an 1888 cabin by hiking the short and flat Trail of Shadows loop (0.7 mi/1.1 km). It's an easy walk, and there's a nice view of Mount Rainier from the meadows.

When Mount Rainier National Park was established in 1899 the park headquarters were located at the site of James Longmire's homestead and mineral springs resort. Over the subsequent decades a number of architecturally significant buildings were constructed, including the Administration Building pictured here.

What sets this building apart is the use of glacial boulders to form much of the first story walls. Massive log beams and log-siding complete the structure, while a large fireplace dominates the lobby. Overall, the building appears largely the same as it did when built in the late 1920s.

Today the building serves as a visitor information center.

This 1929 service station was designed to fit in with the park's other rustic structures. Though the (still original) gas pumps are no longer active, the building is in great shape and now houses a small museum.
