This structure was the first to be built in 1896. It was used to house the laborers that erected the lighthouse. After the house was complete, it was used by the workers that were contracted to do maintenance work such as boiler inspection, etc.
On October 19th, 1905, the Steamer Joseph Fey was wrecked at Forty Mile Point and the crew came ashore on the pilothouse which was torn off and washed ashore. They were sheltered in the bunkhouse and later walked to Rogers City. The first mate was lost and his body was found north of the lighthouse in December of that year.
The building has been restored and now serves as a gift shop.
