Additional Comments
ONE OF FOUR RUSTIC STYLE HOUSES BUILT ALONG THE SHORELINE HERE IN THE EARLY 1930S AS A PRIVATE MAKE-WORK PROJECT SPONSORED BY LOCAL PHYSICIAN, DR. ALBERT AXELEY, WHO OPERATED THEM AS TOURIST CABINS. THE OTHER THREE HOUSES ALL HAVE THEIR OWN AHI NUMBERS.

THIS HOUSE ALSO HAS TWO SMALLER ASSOCIATED RUSTIC STYLE BUILDINGS OF ITS OWN, WHICH ALSO HAVE THEIR OWN AHI NUMBERS.
