The Shorty Lovelace Historic District includes a series of cabins built in Kings Canyon National Park by trapper Joseph Walter "Shorty" Lovelace between 1910 and 1940. Lovelace was the first non-Native American to live year-round in the upper Kings River Canyon.[2] Lovelace may have built as many as thirty-six structures in the area, with possibly a dozen surviving. Lovelace built his first cabins in 1912 at Crowley Canyon. The cabins were typically five feet by seven feet with dirt floors.[3]
Structures include:
- Williams (Quartz) Meadow Cabin
- Sphinx Creek Cabin
- Crowley Canyon Cabin
- Granite Pass Cabin
- Vidette Meadow Cabin
- Gardiner Creek Cabin
- Woods Creek Cabin
- Cloud Canyon Cabin
- Lower Bubbs Creek
