According to the registry Office in Minden, this property was purchased from the Crown by Otto Peters in 1928.  (I guess it was built in the 1880's and never registered till O. Peters owned it.) It was purchased by George Fricke from O. Peters in 1942 and used as a private summer residence. in 1964, a group of Huntsville business men, including Bill Blackburn, Jack and Bert Antcliffe, John West, and Bill McDonald bought it and named it "The Last House Hunt Camp". It now [2000] used year-round by camp members.

There are pictures taken in the late 1800's of this log 2 story house. James Asbury (diary 1902) mentions that he and his brother Tom, stayed overnight at the Carlton's before heading up the Oxtongue River to work at logging camps during the winter.
