Additional Description: "A visitor here in 1918 found only two businesses in existence, one a restaurant with a "two-by-four counter, a box turned upside down for a table, and the rest of the fixtures of the same type… No stores remained in 1950, and three years later the government withdrew its post office there. The black haven on the Solomon had become almost a ghost town."
