White Deer Lake Camp, Living Room Cabin, Cyrus H. McCormick Experimental Forest, Champion, Marquette County, MI

Significance: No exact date of construction is available, but this building appears under construction in circa 1907 photos. Early photos only indicate a boat house and living room above. The billiard room was added sometime between 1907 and 1930. Memos in 1935 discuss rebuilding the entire chimney and foundation and the use of new stones for the fireplace. Plans dated 1941 cover closing in the porch north of billiard room, creating a bathroom and alcove, and adding a furnace room below the billiard room with a forced air furnace. New flooring was also installed in the boat house portion at this time. Foundation work along the north side of the boat house was indicated in 1958 plans.
