Mesa Verde Administrative District is a set of six National Park Service buildings within Mesa Verde National Park, constructed in 1921 in a "pueblo revival" style. They are significant as the first constructed by the National Park Service "based on cultural traditions represented in the park area", to fit in and to enhance interpretation by visitors of the park area.
The buildings were declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987.[1],[3][4]
