The Hutmacher Complex is an early Twentieth century farm constructed in the stone slab method, one of the traditional ethnic architectural forms that originated in the Black Sea region of Russia and Ukraine and was carried to North Dakota as part of the broader, ethnically distinct German-Russian folk tradition. The buildings were highly labor intensive to build and maintain, but also highly environmentally appropriate and efficiently functional through use of locally available materials. The farm’s principle residence, used from 1928 to 1963, was expanded as needed. Its rooms are aligned along a single east-west axis with a traditional, protruding entry vestibule. Badlands cedar rafters and a cottonwood ridge beam support a roof of small branches and straw sealed with clay. Exterior walls of ashlar sandstone slabs and clay mortar were originally covered with a plaster made of clay and chopped straw. Other buildings in the complex include ruins of a barn, a summer kitchen/butchering house, a poultry barn and a garage, which may also have served as a stable. The Hutmacher Complex is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
