Minnesota, Lake County, U. S. Forest Service, Superior National Forest, Halfway Ranger Station, Ranger Dwelling (South Elevation-Side and East Elevation- Rear)
The Ranger Dwelling was built by Civilian Conservation Corps enrollees in 1934 or 1935. The walls of the Rustic style structure were constructed with peeled round logs obtained from nearby forestland. The logs were laid with alternating butt and tip ends, and connected at the corners by saddle-notches. The ends of logs had a chisel-edge point. The underside of each log was shaped along its length to form a tight fit. The Ranger Dwelling is in the Halfway Ranger Station Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing building.
