See Mule Barn, Grand Canyon Village, Arizona
The Mule Barn, the Livery Stable and the Blacksmith/Saddle Shop were built in 1906 by the Fred Harvey Company to provide support services to the 1905 El Tovar Hotel.
Based on their historic usage these three buildings were referred to as the Fred Harvey Company "Transportation Department." Presumably designed by staff of the Fred Harvey Company, all three buildings are designed in a rustic variation of the Craftsman style. The Mule Barn was originally used to house mules used to carry visitors to the bottom of Grand Canyon.
In the 1940s the mules were moved from the Mule Barn to the adjacent Livery Stable to accommodate the growing number of mules. The Mule Barn is presently used as a carpenter shop and storage.
