| Additional Information: | This originally clapboard-clad building was built in 1919 as the resort's second lodge and it housed both the Voss family as well as guests. Later on, the building was extended to the rear to add a two-car garage, the main facade was also altered somewhat, and it was resided in wider cedar clapboards in the late 1950s. |
