The Swamp–Meadow Cabin (west) is in North Cascades National Park, in the U.S. state of Washington. Constructed sometime in the early 1910s by the North Coast Mining and Milling Company, the cabin was a warm season residence used by company employees for storage and residence while working their mining claims on Thunder Creek.[2] The ​1 1⁄2-story cabin was constructed plainly of 16 in (410 mm) round hewn logs, square notched at the corners. The cabin is 18 by 22 ft (5.5 by 6.7 m) with an offset door at the east end, above which it is sheltered by the 10 ft (3.0 m) extension of the gable roof which is wood shingled.[2] Swamp–Meadow Cabin (west) is near Swamp–Meadow Cabin (east), and both were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[2]
