Old log building. Renovated
one of the old warehouses required
for the purpose of the fur trade.
Grandfather was an agent for the
American Fur Company and had there
buildings outside of the dwelling house
for purposes of storage. Now this is
used by the men to store their tools
and repairing material. This is the
building of which you have a partial
glimpse through trees in the previous
photograph, the sidewalk is the same
as that in front of the chapel.
