After Annabel's death in 1938, Phelps turned over control of the town to his niece Carolyn Hubbard Parcells, who with her husband Charles began the project of preserving Huron City. In 1946 they established the William Lyon Phelps Foundation, which constructed a museum, and restored the general store and hotel. Description The Huron City Historic District includes a number of structures, nearly all of which date to the mid-1880s rebuilding of the village after the Thumb Fire. The LaGassa Log House - a relocated structure - is also located within the Historic District.
