I took this picture on Sunday afternoon with the late afternoon light filtering through the June woods. The historic bungalow serves as the administration building for Paugnut State Forest and is commonly known as the “Burr Pond Bungalow.”
Like many similar park buildings, the cabin was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during FDR’s Work Projects era (1933-1937). The stone and wood structure is in northwest Connecticut, but would fit in well on the rim of the Grand Canyon.
I selected a coffee tone for this picture because the bungalow’s 90+ years deserves it. And the square format seemed to say, “I’ve settled here to blend into these woods for good.”

Appreciate the visits, Philip. Thanks
Hi John and thanks for sharing this great photo! Wishing you a wonderful New England Tuesday…😊⭐️😊
A good choice of format and the old tone of faded copy, but also the placement of the building in relation to the forest. It feels cool and safe there in the shelter of the magnificent trees.
Happy you liked the placement. I took a few variations but this one was a clear favorite. You expressed it well: “in the shelter of the magnificent trees.”
Great picture of the cabin and the woods as well
thanks Phyllis 👋🏼
It could be here at Deception Pass, too. They have several of these CCC buildings. THey certainly do fit well with their surroundings.
I tend to think of the west first with the CCC. Such an interesting period in our history…
So you were probably happy to find this beauty in your backyard, more or less.
They worked on enough projects in this state to inspire an entire book about it
Cool!
