description

Summary

Significance: Constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps using a standard Forest Service Region Four plan (R4-21) but with log siding rather than a specified siding type. It is thus associated with the Federal Depression recovery effort, representative of a method of construction, but also locally unique because of the siding. Originally served as a storeroom and garage for a seasonal Forest Guard engaged in fire suppression in the Island Park area.
Survey number: HABS ID-65-C
