During the early 1920's, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Boyington purchased this property and added cabins in the back yard. They operated the Log Cabin Inn at that time. In 1927, Roy and Mildred Nelson bought the Inn, and it was operated under that same name until 1935. In that year Natalie (Edkins) Brinkman, Tom Dawson's granddaughter, purchased the property. We found several old key chains under the house that say "Brinkman Auto Court," which leads us to believe Natalie operated the business under that name.
There have been three other sets of owners since the 1950's, each having made various changes to the original home's appearance.
