Abstract: Built in the early 20th Century, the one-room historic Stone Cabin is associated with
both early grazing and later uranium mining history of the area. One of only a few historic
Vanishing Treasures resources found within the park, the Stone Cabin is listed on the LCS (HS14). The building has lost its roof, and the stone walls and chimney have begun to collapse.
Immediate treatment is needed to prevent deterioration that is beyond the possibility of repair.
