These are the only extant New Deal buildings in the park. Architects Lord and Burnham of Irvington, New York, designed the greenhouse, but it is not known who designed the maintenance building. Both buildings are brick and feature Colonial Revival architecture. They were nominated to the National Register as part of the "New Deal-Era Resources of Kansas" multiple property listing.
