Regarding Hoxie-Vance Cabin. A single-story cabin originally constructed in 1923 with strong elements of Prairie School architecture, the original shingles were replaced with peeled half-logs in 1951. The property is associated with the first wave of speculative development in Idyllwild, a mountain resort, during the 1920s. The Great Depression cut short Idyllwild's growth and the cabin is one of the few remaining examples of this era.
