Also on the property are an American Craftsman-style chestnut bark-shingled bungalow (1936) originally used as the school's Health Center, a collapsed two-car garage, an arbor and a farm complex. The property was original developed by the Lutheran church as a mission to the southern Appalachians. The school closed in 1958, and was later acquired by the Forest Service.
