P. Denhardt Cabin

Joseph Wachowski was the last owner of the cabin before the City of Dawson took it over for back taxes. Also known as “Waffles”, Wachowski was an American who drove a vehicle with Arizona license plates. He spent the summers in Dawson and was known as a local character, always in the company of several dogs. When he arrived in May, he brought candy for children and bundles of clothing to give away to those in need. He stopped coming sometime in the early 1990s and the City assumed ownership of the property [24].
