Emery J. Finch, Ranger and Hoodsport pioneer, built the cabin for his new bride, Mabel, and they moved in on April 22, 1908. Between the years 1933 to 1942, the station hosted several government programs such as the ERA (Emergency Relief Administration), WPA (Works Progress Administration) and the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps). From 1942 to 1986, the cabin was a fireguard station, and from 1986 to 1994, it was used by Forest Service volunteers.
