The Horse Barn in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, is a rural structure built in 1929, shortly after the National Park Service took over control of a new parkland from the US Forest Service. The Park Service set about upgrading facilities in the park, using designs by Branch Plans and Design Service Parks. It is listed on the National Historic Site List as an example of NPS design work in the late 1920s.
The size of the barn is about 18 times 21.5 feet (5.5 times 6.6 m). The wooden frame is covered with boards measuring 12 inches (300 mm) and resting on concrete slabs. The west side has a board-and-batten entrance with small vision lights. with a light four-by-four sliding window on the main level and a four-light hopper window on the saddle roof. The east side includes a four-by-four light sliding window on the main level and a board-and-batten door for straw on the saddle roof. The south side includes a board door flanked by four-by-four sliding windows and a paneled entrance at the southern end. The inside of the warehouse has been converted into a mechanical shop. It consists of two small rooms and one large room, with a finished board wall in the restroom and a finished gypsum wall in a larger space. The granary was moved from its original location to a small collection of NPS and Utah Parks Company structures that were moved to that location from the 1950s. The original site is close to the current National Park Residential Historical Area.
The warehouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 25 April 1995.
