Notes
Built in 1962 by the NZFS to house scientists in the Ecology Division of DSIR who were studying deer, chamois & hares in the Upper Cupola basin. It received extensive maintenance in March, 2021, in a joint project between DOC & the Back Country Trust (BCT) with DOC doing some painting & they replaced the gutters, water tank, & water tank stand. The BCT crew (from Ultimate Descents) replaced the underlay & fitted a new Coloursteel Scoria-coloured roof. Edit Hut
