Built by the NZFS as hut #393, it was originally called 'Gordon Hut'. It replaced 'Bottom Gordon Hut (old) (Gordon Hut)', an old IAD hut downstream on the opposite bank. Both huts co-existed for a time. 'Bottom Gordons Hut' was renovated & extended in 1993 with the addition of a pot belly stove & new windows, with the extension coming from the former 'Bottom Silverstream Hut' from the Branch catchment.
