Historic brick chimney
Now, here’s a chimney… with four fireplaces… and two windows!
Log cabin door
So often a log cabin is seen with a mysterious door on the end, seeming to lead to nowhere. Often the answer to this oddity is that the cabin was not originally built with this opening, but as time went by the cabin was added onto… most often with the use of our more modern framing method. Years went by and the cabin outlasted it’s newer appendage which would be removed as it fell into disrepair.
A brick cottage
A sweet little brick home.
This would make a great starter home and would be excellent as part of a larger future home. The dormers on this cottage, as well as the tall windows on the front are just… perfect.
Antique log cabin
This little log outbuilding is likely 200 years old.
It probably took the man who built it a few months of his spare time.
He could have gone to Loews and bought a pre-assembled shed. 😉
(That would have been easier… and quicker).
But, he made this choice.
And so, by choosing to build with his hands, he left behind a treasure to descendants, people that he would never know, a charming outbuilding, one that they could use and enjoy.
If he did nothing else during his life, at least he left behind a lasting legacy of his time here on Earth.
The workmanship of the men and women of our past inspire us all today to ponder what we will leave behind for future generations.
Log cabin living
The firewood is stacked on the porch.
The chair is calling.
All is well with the world.
A log cabin with mountain views
The cabin could use a little fixin’ up… but the view out back… ain’t bad.
North Carolina farmhouse
I’ve only seen this home design in North Carolina.
Arched stone fireplace in an old log cabin
An arched fireplace, complete with a surrounding mantelpiece… very rare in an old cabin.
Old cabin
This is the only example I’ve ever seen of a cabin with a single centered window above a door.
Log cabin fireplace
I do love the old brick that was used to build this firebox.
(the place could sure use a good dusting)
