The site was located on Sheepherder's Point near Memaloose Island near present-day Hope in Bonner County, Idaho. This post was the first fur trade post in the American Pacific Northwest. Thompson selected the site on 10 Sep 1809 to be on a direct line for all Indian canoe travel on Lake Pend d'Oreille. He quickly set up a camp and began construction of more permanent buildings. Thompson left Kullyspell House on 11 Oct 1809 to establish a post among the Flathead Indians and extended the Canadian fur trade further west. He then built Spokane House in 1810 just west of present day Spokane, Washington.
