This cabin had been used as a dwelling house at one time but had been abandoned for years. There was a door in the north and one litle window in the south, and no other windows any where. At one time there had been a fire place in the east with clay jambs and back wall and a mud and stick chimney. The chimney had fallen down to the jambs and backwall. This made quite all opening.

That was the only desk in the room.
