Is it a log home, or a stone home?

For those who can’t decide if they want a log house… or a stone house.

I’ve never seen another like it.

Early log homes were “chinked with stones or scraps of wood and then a layer of mud and fiber was applied over that on each side to keep the cold and rain out. This is the log home that I’ve seen where a mason carefully applied and chinked around these stones. The result, while not common, is rather attractive.

An ancient home in Peru… The same stone laying technique, of carefully laying the corners in a horizontal pattern while filling the space in between with a random pattern, can also be found here on some early American structures.
