Stone for the fireplace came from within Allegany State Park. Logs for the lodge came from nearby Pennsylvania. Experts cut and joined the logs to form a 45-foot by 30-foot cabin in keeping with the rustic ambience of the park.
Albert T. and Musette (Barker) Fancher on the porch of their lodge at Allegany State Park, ca. 1928.
Since Mrs. Fancher's death in 1944, the cabin has been used by successive Allegany State Parks Commission chairpeople and State Park commissioners.
Commissioner and Mrs. Fancher kept a stable of horses near their cabin. This 1928 photograph shows them entertaining a visiting couple from England.
Commissioner Fancher's will provided money for a swimming pool in the Quaker area and for landscaping around the Red House Administration Building. This photograph of the Fancher pool dates to ca. 1935.
