The Grand Canyon National Park Superintendent's Residence is an early National Park Service Rustic style building, designed in 1921 by Daniel Ray Hull of the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Designs as the park's first headquarters building.

The building was altered in 1931 by Thomas Chalmers Vint to be the park superintendent's residence,[2] superseded as headquarters by the Grand Canyon Park Operations Building[3] It is included in the Grand Canyon Village National Historic Landmark District.
