Scope and content
Photographer Marvin Boland took several snaps during a one-day trip from Tacoma to Olympia on May 31, 1926. He stopped in DuPont to photograph this decrepit log cabin with its windows and door boarded up. The door on the adjacent storage facility or room appears to be open. Both buildings have crumbling wood shingled roofs. It is possible that this is considered to be the oldest building in the state, built in 1843 by the Hudson's Bay Fur Co. at Fort Nisqually, about one-half mile from the present town of DuPont.
