Additional Information: | A site file exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation. The earliest buildings on this property were constructed in 1928 for a logging camp. The only structure from this era that remains is the paymaster's office, currently used as a storage shed (contributing). In 1931, after the logging operation ceased, the property was sold and the office was used as a residence until 1948 when Martin Erickson and his son Mel built the Erickson cabin (contributing). Other contributing structures include the generator shed, a dock, a set of stairs, and an engine shed. Non-contributing structures on the property include a wooden flagpole and a second stairway that was constructed in the 1970s. |
