In speaking with area resident Edward Voght, the two-story building on the left appears to be the dispensary for Isle Royale, which his sons live in today (2009).Gundlach Road runs from Paradise Road past the dispensary, continues in front of the No. 2 shafthouse (today only a foundation), and terminates at the former No. 1 site, today the fire station.
