After Lily's departure, Baby Doe and Silver Dollar moved into a cabin on the site of the Matchless mine. The living quarters were basic and inadequate for Colorado winters: All told, it was no larger than a medium sized room. Two windows had been cut into the flimsy weatherboards, but these had been nailed up. The structure was a former tool shed located adjacent to the hoisthouse, described by a visitor in 1927 as crowded with very primitive furniture, decorated with religious pictures, and stacked high in newspapers. The cabin was isolated, located above Leadville in Little Strayhorse Gulch, and had an unimpeded view of Mount Elbert and Mount Massive.
