Alfred Benson’s property on Shrine Pass FSR (Forest Service Road) 709. Originally, there were several cabins (log and board), a blacksmith shop and a barn at the site.

This photo was taken on July 26, 2012.

"This photo taken in 1919 is not a very good one of the old McCoy Hall, but it is the only one available.
