The first permanent structure was actually built around five wooden floored tents. The roof, partitions, fireplace, porch, windows, and doors were then constructed until nothing remained of the original tents except the name. Herbert Hoover, Jr. began his long convalescence here from a serious illness. Five Tents was located several hundred yards upstream from this point.
