Description
This cabin sits in the Giant Sequoia National Monument at 6,000 feet of elevation. The CCC built the cabin to provide a residence for Forest Service fire patrolmen.
"Mtn. Home Guard Station was constructed between 1933 and 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, (CCC) to provide a residence for Forest Service fire patrolmen stationed in that area. In 1964, the Forest Service no longer needed the use of the cabin. Mountain Home State Forest used the cabin to house California Division of Forestry personnel from 1965 to 1997 under a Special Use Permit issued by the Forest Service. The cabin is 900 square feet, single story and consists of 1 bedroom with a closet, 1 bathroom, a living room and a kitchen with a service porch. The original cabinets, living room and bedroom flooring and bath fixtures remain. The interior has been slightly modified. The exterior is constructed of redwood board over 1 X 8 diagonal sheeting nailed to a standard wooden frame."
