The photograph shows the early log portion of the Freeland Goodwin House. The residence, built around 1905, is a one-story L-shaped three-bay triple-gable house which was built onto the gable end of a 19th century log dwelling that had a massive stone-and-brick end chimney. Other features of the house include a projecting chamfered bay, wraparound porch, and scalloped shingling framing the double ventolators in the gables.
