Camp Cabins - Grant Grove Village, Grant Grove Village

These small roofed cabins are in the Lodge/Tent City area, the date of construction of them is not known. They do not appear on the 1930 survey of the area, and as permanent roofed buildings they would have been shown if they existed. They sit on the hillside above the duplex cottages near the tent cabins, but closer to the bathhouse. They are basically very similar to the tent cabins, but they have a roof. They were built with a roof so that during the winter they could be used for storage of the furniture, mattresses, and canvas roofs from the tent cabins. They are still used for this during winter. The original horizontal board siding on them has been replaced at some time with modern plywood siding (compare the narrow width of the score lines in the plywood siding with the width of the wood siding on the tent cabin at the rear right of the photo.)

The centerpiece of the original Lodge Area was the Lodge building. It no longer exists, but I remember it well. It was designed by Underwood and built in 1930. It originally contained a dining room, visitor registration, lounge, and showers. Starting in 1969 it was used as a General Store and ski shop, but unfortunately it burned down in 1993. It was a significant historic loss.
