history
The blockhouse in the style of Adirondack Architecture , of which only remains are preserved today, was built in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps as a place to sleep on the canoe route across the island. It is at the northeast end of Hasselborg Lake, from where a poorly maintained hiking trail heads north to Windfall Harbor .
The log cabin was inscribed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 2, 1995 . At the time, the property was flooded from a beaver dam and the roof of the log cabin was leaking from neglected repairs.
