A court hearing later this week will determine what happens to the historic Beaver Bay fish house on the North Shore of Lake Superior.

The owners of the 115-year-old fish house have received an eviction notice from the owners of the land that it sits on. The owners of the building are concerned that it will be torn down.

That also concerns historians like Don Hammer, manager of the North Shore Commercial Fishing Museum in Tofte. He discussed the building's historic significance with Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer.
