The oldest and probably first structure in Eureka. The town burned down a few times in the 1870's but the cabin is away from downtown so it was spared.
Interesting thing is the size of the logs used to build it. Originally there were very large pine trees here, but they were all cut down (every tree within 50 miles, I read) for charcoal to power the mines. Any trees now are new growth and not that big yet.
