Built by road crews in 1925-1926, Savage Cabin was actually two cabins built facing each other, connected by a common roof. It was orginally built about a mile soutwest of here and served as a cookhouse for road workers in summer, and as a ranger patrol station in winter.
in 1940, the park separated the two cabins and moved them to this more protected location. The right side was reassembled. The other was eventually used for firewood.
