Description
Only the 2 sandstone chimneys survive what had became a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)-built shelter house in 1935. 1 stone floor appears to be completely rebuilt. Nearby one … of 2 stone and timber picnic tables, another site has a tabletop. Documentation suggests that was the site of the “hilltop house”, briefly used as the forest headquarters when first acquired in 1903. (A new headquarters was built two years later at the eat side of the property.)
