Built as a community house and natural history museum just south of the history museum, this cliff-hanger overlooks the Spruce Tree House ruins ( MT25) across the canyon. Its observation porch enriches the experience with a stone floor, handmade wooden benches, and viga ceiling. Like many other buildings in this complex, it is built of rough-cut, regularly coursed local sandstone and cement with a low parapet roof and Pueblo Revival detailing.
