The Hasselborg Cabin, also known as the Hasselborg Creek Cabin, is a backcountry shelter in the Admiralty Island National Monument, part of Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska. It is one of a number of such facilities built by Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) on the Admiralty Island Canoe Route between 1933 and 1937. As built by the CCC, it was a three-sided Adirondack-style log shelter, timber-framed, and measuring about 12'6" by 10'6". It is one of only two cabins built on the route that has a fireplace; it is built of brick and stone. It is also distinctive for its floor, which is a concrete slab (apparently an original element), whereas most other cabins originally had dirt floors. Its roof was originally wood shakes, but is now corrugated metal.[2] The front has subsequently been enclosed.[3]
