The photograph shows four early log cabins which were joined in pairs to form two different structures. The first home consists of two one-and-a-half-story cabins joined by a central rock section. The other log cluster consists of a one-and-a-half two-bay half-dovetail-notch cabin joined to a one-story one-bay V-notch structure.
