Answers to some questions

Camp A
Camp A, Fruit Growers Supply Company, located just north of McCoy Flat Reservoir, 1921

There have been some interesting comments posted of late, so I take this opportunity to answer a few.

Seasoned residents may remember a row cabins near Cherry Terrace along Piute Creek, where Al & Joy Robbins is located. There was one large cabin, which was occupied by Dan Marmo. The smaller cabins, came from Fruit Growers Supply Company logging Camp 10, after it closed in 1952. Marmo rented out the cabins, some of those folks less fortunate than others. On occasion even a Lassen College student could be found there. There are still some of these old logging cabins located throughout Susanville.

The Telephone Company building, is a reference I had not heard in years.  However, it just so happens I am writing about it. The is the two-story stone building located on the northeast corner of Main and Gay Streets. It was built in 1914 and originally known as the Star Hotel. For a number of decades it housed Susanville’s first telephone company. When Safeway came to Susanville in 1928, it was housed there.

  1. Thanks for the info on the cabins. Two Lassen High School students and, I think, their mother lived in one of the cabins for while in the mid-1970s. Don’t ask me how. Susanville had its share of poverty then, but that must have been tough going.
