Bly Ranger Station
The Bly Ranger Station is a United States Forest Service compound that serves as the headquarters for the Bly Ranger District which is an administrative subdivision of the Fremont National Forest. It is located in the small unincorporated community of Bly in southcentral Oregon. The ranger station was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1936 and 1942. Today, the seven original buildings are still used by the Bly Ranger District. The compound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district in 1981.
== History ==
In the early 20th century, the forest road networks were not well developed. To facilitate work in National Forests, the Forest Service built district ranger stations at strategic locations within the forest to house full-time employees and provide logistics support to fire patrols and project crews working at remote forest sites. After World War II, the Forest Service greatly expanded its road network, allowing employees to get to most forest areas within a few hours. As a result, many of the more isolated ranger stations were closed or converted to summer guard station.〔("A Bit of History" ), Recreation Rentals of the Pacific Northwest, Pacific Northwest Region, United States Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Portland, Oregon, 26 March 2009.〕〔Jacoby, Jayson, ("Rustic Forest Service cabins available for rent" ), ''Baker City Herald'', Baker City, Oregon, 27 April 2006.〕 However, the Bly Ranger Station has served continuously as a district administrative headquarters since it was built.〔Joslin, Les, ("Bly Ranger Station” ), ''Uncle Sam’s Cabins: A Visitors Guide to Historic U.S. Forest Service Ranger Stations of the West'', Wilderness Association, Bend, Oregon, 1995.〕
Development of the Bly Ranger Station began in 1935 when the Forest Service acquired a site in Bly for a district ranger station to manage the western part of the Fremont National Forest. The Forest Service paid $625 for the property. The ranger station was built by Civilian Conservation Corps workers stationed at nearby Camp Bly with the help of some experienced local men, all under the supervision of Forest Service district ranger Perry Smith. Construction was based on designs by E.U. Blanchfield, architect for the Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Region. The seven original buildings at the Bly compound were constructed between 1936 and 1942. A modern administrative headquarters building was added to the compound in the 1960s.〔〔(“Bly Ranger Station” ), Oregon Historical Sites Database, State Historic Preservation Office, State of Oregon, Salem, Oregon, 19 June 2009.〕
The original structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps still exist and are all in excellent condition. Because of Bly Ranger Station’s unique historic value as an early Forest Service ranger station, the compound and surrounding area was listed on the National Register of Historic Place on 11 March 1981. The entire site totals .〔〔(Bly Ranger Station ), National Register of Historic Places, ''www.nationalregisterofhistoricalplaces.com'', 14 June 2009.〕
