A computer reconstruction, superimposed on the drawing of the house remains, shows what the superstructure of the dwelling may have looked like. Walls made from driftwood enclosed a large main room with smaller rooms on three sides, and a long tunnel-like entrance way.

The walls and roof would have been covered with a thick layer of sod to insulate the dwelling from the frigid winter temperatures.
