A two-story cabin belonging to Randall Gray resides where the China House once stood (Figures 8, 29). One of the three dwellings on the former cannery property is Reed Stoops’ one-story cabin built where the old mess hall used to be. A fourth modern residence has been built immediately northeast of the cannery tract (near the trail to the Aleut cemetery) to replace Harold Hargrave’s original home that was destroyed by fire. Three relatively modern dwellings are maintained on what was once U.S. This discussion of the Funter Bay cannery’s current condition briefly notes new construction, then goes on to describe standing buildings, building ruins, and non-architectural features that date to World War II or earlier.
Because the site investigation was brief and done at a high tide, few intertidal features were observed. Some historic cannery features, as well as the Aleut cemetery, are on USFS land. Almost all of the cannery’s buildings are gone – either destroyed or decaying into the archaeological record, but many remnants are discernible. According to Zacharof (2002), the cannery’s 11.5 acres were subdivided into 13 lots, and in 2008 at least nine landowners had a property interest in the historic cannery site. The State’s public floats are in almost the same location as the original cannery floats (compare Figures 20 and 29). Current Conditionsįunter Bay now holds several dozen parcels of private property, many with dwellings occupied seasonally or year-round by individuals with 30 years or more of residency – 75 years in the case of mine-steward Sam Pekovich. the Funter Bay cannery site is now occupied by four dwellings, three modern: Gordon Harrison’s cabin with a shed-roofed dormer built in the late 1990s where the power house used to be, the 1990 cabin built by Reed Stoops where the mess once stood, Randall Gray’s two-story log cabin.
