    It seems the cabin is actually in Oakland California: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joaquin_Miller en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Miller_cabin.jpg

    Exile Bibliophile - they're two different structures. The one show here is now in D.C.'s Rock Creek Park: www.washingtonhistory.com/ScenesPast/images/SP_0607.pdf When this photo was taken, it was located on Washington's Meridian Hill, in the area now occupied by Meridian Hill Park. The cabin was moved by the Park Service in 1913.

    It's now near the old Milkhouse Ford in Rock Creek Park.

    On pages 385-386 of his book of memoirs, "Roadside Meetings" (1930) Hamlin Garland recalls a week he spent in Chicago in 1898, with the visiting Joaquin Miller: He [Miller] told us of his life in Washington City and of the log cabin he had built out near Rock Creek. "I made that my home for four years, but I was away much of the time. I didn't like it there. Congressmen and their silly wives wore me out. They all came to Washington as the great men in little towns, and their women, raw, silly, curious, had nothing better to do than to seek out Joaquin Miller, 'the man who lived in a tree.' They made life miserable for me and I fled."

    Wystan: Love this kind of anecdotal tidbit - one that shows up in an obscure source that you'd never think to look in (or find with a keyword or subject search in a library catalog) if you were researching the subject! Interesting that he uses "the man who lived in a tree" - I wonder if this wasn't a misremembering of Miller's rant by Garland, since Miller's cabin was not far from "Airy Castle", the tree house of Allen B. Hayward, when he lived on Meridian Hill: chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84026749/1907-02-17/ed-... Hayward brought a lot of curiosity-seekers to what was then otherwise a comparatively quiet part of the District.

    This is in later days. Note the corrugated iron roof. Mum and the kids are well dressed. The family owns a buggy. These are not original settlers from the Robinson Acts era, so many of whom gave up and walked off their land.

    trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/163662868/16780820 - this pic appeared in the Sydney Mail on 4th September, 1907 in a pictorial on the Dorrigo district...see pic on 3rd page of link titled 'Pioneer's Home on the Edge of the Big Brush'... Some of the other Dorrigo pics that appeared in this issue of the Sydney Mail are also in the PHM's collection, and they're also on the PHM's Flickr photostream...they come up if you click on the 'Sydney Mail, 4th September, 1907' tag I've added...
