Structure
Because of its isolated location, the cabin has changed very little since its last resident left in 1973. It is a one-story log cabin with two rooms and an adjacent pantry. The cabin has two long porches that run the length of the building in the front and back. The porches are held up by log posts. The cabin’s floor is made of fir planking, and the roof is corrugated sheet-metal. The pantry has a double-wall with sawdust-insulation in between the inner and outer walls.
There are two sheds on the site. There is a large tool shed just behind the cabin. A power generator shed is located a short distance north of the cabin. There is a unique solar-heated shower, built by the cabin’s last resident, located between the tool shed and the cabin.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“Slumism is the pent-up anger of people living on the outside of affluence. Slumism is decay of structure and deterioration of the human spirit. Slumism is a virus which spreads through the body politic. As other “isms,” it breeds disorder and demagoguery and hate.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“I’m a Sunday School teacher, and I’ve always known that the structure of law is founded on the Christian ethic that you shall love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself—a very high and perfect standard. We all know the fallibility of man, and the contentions in society, as described by Reinhold Niebuhr and many others, don’t permit us to achieve perfection.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
