2724 N Overland Trail, Laporte, CO
The cabin was built by Sam Deon, French fur trapper, in 1858. Probably the oldest building in Laporte, the building was used as a saloon for many years. A billiard room was added to the east side later. In 1868, Deon sold the cabin to D.W. French who used it as a store until he sold it to Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Tharp in 1877.
