In September 1913, construction of Malvena Gallatin’s summer home on the southeast corner of Eagle Lake was well underway. At that same time, her step-son, Albert Gallatin, Jr. hired Charles Caughell to survey bungalow sites on the lake’s south shore. He stated that the family had received requests from residents of San Francisco, as well as from Susanville. It was Gallatin’s intention not sell the lots, but rather give a 99 year lease. He also consulted with Lassen County Supervisor, L.R. Cady about the possibility of a new road to the south shore of Eagle Lake. Cady assured him he would do everything in his power to make it a reality. Neither the bungalow sites or road work transpired.
