The Lon Chaney Cabin is a historic building in Inyo County, California.
As of 2024, the rustic-style cabin is closed to the public and is currently being used as a ranger station.
[1][2] Chaney rarely used the cabin, as he died of lung cancer in 1930.
In 1964, the Wilderness Act was passed, slating the cabin for destruction until it was realized that the dynamite that was to be used to destroy the building would also damage the surrounding forest.
It is rectangular and has a gable roof and 2 ft (0.61 m) thick rock walls.
