Built in 1934, the cabin has a single room, with a front porch extension to create a shelter from snowfall.

The cabins were built to a standardized plan that was developed in Yellowstone National Park, which were themselves similar to those used by the U.S. Forest Service which took design cues from trappers' cabins.

Furnishings were limited to a hinged cupboard which could be folded down to form a table, a stove, and a bunk bed.
