The Maltby Legacy in Big Bear

For those who are not familiar with the Big Bear area, you probably wouldn't recognize the term, Maltby. This is because it is named after Gus Maltby, a local builder who used to build at Big Bear in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Some of the main features that separate this type of log house construction are the exterior half-log siding, the local natural rock he used to make the fireplaces, large porches, and the custom cast iron lighting fixtures. He owned the Bear Valley Milling and Lumber Company and milled the log siding for all of his log cabins there. He is most notably known for the Peter Pan Woodland Club, to which he built and also built cabins on the land to that members of the club belonged.
