Supplemental information provided by NOAA:

The original construction date of the Company House is uncertain, but in 1922, the company house was enlarged (Bower 1923, 83). In 1930, work began on raising the floor of the old company house preparatory to laying a new cement foundation (Bower 1931, 76). The company house, operating under the name King Eider Hotel, was closed because of safety concerns in 2007.
