The William Hawk Cabin located at 458 North 300 West Salt Lake City has recently been restored. It is one of the oldest surviving pioneer structures in SLC and is a local historic landmark site and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This one-room Pennsylvania-style log cabin is constructed from Douglas fir, white fir, and quaking aspen. Dendrochronology results of the cabin reveal the log cutting dates cluster at 1846 and 1851-1852; the 1846 cluster may reflect wood salvaged from road building efforts by the Donner-Reed Party. The cabin seems to have been constructed by 1852, and then later remodeled about 1860.
The cabin is currently used as an art studio by the owner.
