The history of this little building is more thatn a little fuzzy. With its interesting roof is variously known as the Russian building (roof style?), the Ski Lodge building (the roof agagin?), Ma Millet's Cafe and is also refered to a real estate office, and as the former Welcome Center.

The 1920s building stands at the intersection of National Trails Rd (Route 66) and Daggett-Yermo Rd. (A Street) in Daggett was reportedly built in the mid-1920s. In the 20s the Daggett-Yermo road was also the Arrowhead Highway 91, the route north to Boulder Dam. The California Agricultre Inspection Station where all tourists had to stop was just across the road. All that made this a very busy intersection.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
