PORTION OF SQUARE CUT LOG CONSTRUCTION W/ MOTAR CHINKING PORTION OF 1/2 TIMBER CONSTRUCTION W/ BRICK NOGGING 2020:This 1-story front-gabled log building was constructed c.1855. It is rectangular in plan with a stone foundation and walls of square-cut log and structural half-timbering with red brick nogging. The gable roof is clad in asphalt-shingles (these replaced the earlier wood shakes visible in the property’s 1975 survey photo). The front elevation faces north and contains a large overhead garage door and a single pedestrian-scale doorway. Both doors are of unpainted board construction and contain small 4-pane windows in their upper portions. The wall under both gables is clad in unpainted board and batten. The southern (rear) half of the building is of square-cut log construction with mortar chinking while the northern half is half timbered with square-cut timbers and brick nogging. A sliding window comprised of 6-pane sashes is located at the center of the half-timbered portions of both side elevations. |
