The office was built in 1926 and enlarged in 1938. The L-shaped structure is divided into office space and a 16 by 52 ft (4.9 by 15.8 m) by hall-like space with exposed timber roof framing. The log frame is exposed on the exterior. The 10-by-12-foot (3.0 by 3.7 m) by office wing features a sitting porch.

The lower portion of Camp Kaweah was built beginning in 1935 with more cabins, bringing the total count to about 140 units. It was not included in the historic district, nor is the eastern portion of the upper Kaweah area.
