The house is one and one-half stories high and was partitioned. Unusual in the house is the presence of a cut away section on the west gable end. A square hole was cut in the end of the house-at the base of the wall-for a fireplace. Rocks from the fireplace base would protrude through the hold while the chimney went up the inside of the wall. This type of situation is common in the South and Midwest. The logs are hewed and chinked and half-dove tailed at the corner. i Statement of Historical Significance: *; O «) I D D D D D Aboriginal Americans Agriculture Architecture The Arts Commerce D Q D D Q Communication Conservation Education Exploration/Settlement Industry D O a D D Military Mining Minority Groups Political Recreation D D a D Religion Science Socio-Humanitarian Transportation This is one of the largest and most unique log houses remaining in Spring City, The house may have housed Issac Behunnin while the work on the big stone house was progressing. |
