For the average family a log house was the most practical first permanent dwelling. It could be designed and built without professional help, yet was large enough for the entire family. | ||||
|
The typical Pennsylvania-German floor plan had a large kitchen and a parlor and back bedroom near the stove downstairs and two to four bedrooms upstairs. The exterior logs were commonly covered with siding to stop drafts through the chinking and disguise the fact that the house was log. Today many owners are often surprised that their non-descript square house is made of logs hidden under aluminum or asbestos siding. They are sought out by old house buffs who now prize the log construction that shamed their forebears. Our log house replica measures 3"x3"x5". Price: $35 |
