Description
The JAMES SUBLETT cabin in Big Bend National Park. The last and largest ruin on the Dorgan-Sublett Trail is the Dorgan House. It was once the home of Albert W. Dorgan, a business associate and eventual son-in-law of James Sublett. Together they bought 640 acres and developed an extensive irrigated farming project along the Rio Grande floodplain.
In the 1930s, Dorgan and his wife built their 1,200 square foot, single story, adobe and stone house on the ranch property. The home boasted a large living room, three smaller rooms, large windows at the front, hand-hewn cottonwood timbers, and a petrified wood fireplace.
Today all that remains of the home is the front entrance wall and the petrified wood fireplace.
