Summary:

Michigan Technological University's (Michigan Tech) School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science maintains a log cabin on the north branch of the Otter River in southern Houghton County (Portage Township), Michigan. The cabin was built in 1934-1935 and measures 150 m². The cabin's location is less than 10 m from the river, and when combined with the region's high snowfall (5+ m per year) and subsequent spring melting, is highly susceptible to occasional flooding and subsequent water damage and decay. The history and use of the cabin dates back to the mid- 1930s. The Michigan Conservation Department (predecessor of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources) and the Civilian Conservation Corps built the cabin in 1934-1935 to house workers who used the site as a trout hatchery. Since 1998 Michigan Tech, in cooperation with the USDA Forest Products Laboratory (FPL), has conducted periodic inspections of the cabin. This report summarizes results obtained from the inspection conducted in 2013. It includes a brief summary of the nondestructive testing techniques used, observations, and data from tests conducted on the cabin.
