 gable roof. A brick chimney, with the fireplace portion damaged, sits on the 

 north wall. Plants are affecting the stability of the structure. The wood frame

 dating from the 1860s. Its integrity is good and it is in fair condition. 



Also on the ranch are an abandoned deer camp, a large artificial pond, 

 and the ruins of a cabin on the creek near the highway.

While the Cheda Ranch has local significance as one of the first Swiss-

 historic integrity and it does not appear to be eligible for the National Register.
