KULLEYSPELL HOUSE, Bonner County.—This was the first establishment erected in the Columbia River Basin and was built by David Thompson for the Northwest Fur Company in the fall of 1809 on Pend Oreille Lake where Hope, Idaho, now stands. It was called Kulleyspell for the Pend Oreille Indians, that being their own name for themselves, and which is now called Kalispel (q.v.). This house was a simple log building which was soon after abandoned and has been totally destroyed by forest fires. Some evidences of old rock chimneys remain.
