The log house was built by Jacob Sites circa 1839 below the Seneca Rocks ridge.

The house was expanded in the mid-1870s with a frame addition, remaining in the Sites family until it was acquired by the U.S. Forest Service in 1968 as part of Spruce Knob–Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area in Monongahela National Forest.

The house had been used as a storage shed for some time and was in poor condition.

[2] It is now part of the Seneca Rocks Discovery Center facility, operated by the Forest Service.
