The Episcopalians in Cutoff and Huslia were by itinerant clergy. In 1954, Arlene Chatterton, a nurse evangelist with an Episcopalian organization known as the Church Army, was assigned to Huslia and this cabin was built for her. She was followed in the summer of 1956 by the Rev. Patterson Keller, who was then a deacon in the Episcopal Church and was the first resident Episcopal clergy person. He was ordained a priest in the community hall/church in 1957.
