Mrs. Kate Phillips lived here until 1907. She then moved to Ione and opened a boarding house and lodging house.Later, Will and Mack Foster resided in this building for about twenty years. During that time they prospected a wide area and also leased on company property. Later they gardened and raised goats. Will got sick and was taken to Tonopah where he died in 1953. In 1954, Mack died here of a heart attack.In his book "Odyssey of a Desert Prospector", Herman W. Albert's description of the house in which he lived, fits the appearance of this building at that time. Mrs. Phillips moved to Ione previously and it was very likely that Albert lived here when he was working for the company.
