Joyce Estate, New Cabin, Chippewa National Forest Road 2144, 3 miles north of County Road 335, Grand Rapids, Itasca County, MN

Significance: This cabin was built in the 1930s... The wood-frame structure clearly dates from the second phase of construction on the estate, after log framing was abandoned. The "New Cabin" appears by name in the probate inventory of David Gage Joyce, compiled in 1938. The building later became known as the "Peterson Cabin," in reference to frequent guest Kent Peterson, a Chicago attorney and Joyce Family friend. During the 1940s, Peterson oversaw legal matters for Beatrice Clotilde Joyce, David Joyce's only child. ... A gabled pavilion projects from the center of the symmetrical front (east) side of this single-story, side-gabled cabin. The wood-frame structure is sheathed with split-log siding.
