- Doug Oland built the cabin in June 1928. Mr. Oland was the co-owner of Oland and Scott Construction, builders of the Prince of Wales Hotel, as well as the fish hatchery and hatchery superintendent's residence. The cabin is 32 feet by 34 feet, wood frame construction, and was valued at $2,500 when it was built. In 1931 Mr. Oland leased the cabin to local magistrate C.F. Riley.
