See Elijah Cutler Behunin Cabin, Capitol Reef National Park
The Elijah Cutler Behunin Cabin was built to house Elijah Behunin's family in 1883-84 in what is now Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. The Behunins lived there for only a year, leaving for Fruita after a flood threatened the house and its fields. The cabin was renovated in the 1960s by the National Park Service and represents the most intact example of a settler cabin in Capitol Reef National Park.
The one story sandstone structure measures 13 feet (4.0 m) by 16.5 feet (5.0 m), with a single room. The walls are sandstone covered with a plaster-cement wash. The roof structure is wood, covered with wood sheathing and bentonite clay.
The Behunin cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 13, 1999.
