This Log structure was constructed around 1935 on land donated by George W. Shepard by the WPA with lumber donated by the community. This community center served as the area's gathering and voting place until the 1980's. The County Commission is allowing HPSD to offer this unique living opportunity to a family who is willing to restore and preserve this site's unique history.
