Look closer at the photo. The Log Cabin is next door to the Malamute and would probably have a higher or lower address number. Directory listings exist for White Log Cabin and Log Cabin Bread, but I do not see any Malamutes. Maybe someone should call the Ambassador Dog Hospital for assistance.
Notice the Malamute's floor. Guessing it is beach sand or sawdust since most pea gravel was reserved for gas stations. The exterior looks like it received Republic-First National backlot plaster treatment best viewed under indirect lighting or corrected in the lab.
Is that a crudely constructed incinerator or a crudely constructed bottle, jug or smoker? The Tower/Silo object is vaguely reminiscent a coffee pot roadside attraction.
Downtown is a logical starting place, but is there anything definitively placing the Malamute there? Barney's Beanery is equally rustic, but it is neither downtown nor freeway close to downtown.

I was guessing it was an incinerator because of the little door fitted in the base (see photo above).
