Additional Information: | Constructed in 1972 of red pine, the terminal building exhibits a rustic faux log cabin style that was intended to commemorate the logging history of the Chequamegon Bay area. The building is rectangular in plan with a concrete foundation, round log walls with projecting saddle-notched corners, and a cross-gabled roof with wide overhanging eaves supported by log beams. The front elevation faces southwest and is symmetrical in composition with a steeply-pitched front-gabled mass projecting from the center of the elevation. The center mass contains a central door flanked by pairs of 1-over-1 windows; above this, below the gable, is another pair of 1-over-1 windows. The first story is clad in stripped log while the wall beneath the gable is clad in T1-11 siding. The front wall of the wings projecting from each side of the center mass each contain a single door and a large 1-over-1 window. The rear elevation (facing the parking lot) contains a center door flanked by pairs of 1-over-1 windows in the center mass with no other windows or doors. Additional 1-over-1 windows are located in the side elevations. |
