This home was built in the early 1870s by Monroe Allison. The framework is of hand hewn logs mortised and
secured with wooden pins. The board and batten siding, as well as the
floors are of 1 1/4 in poplar. Included are 9 rooms of 6 different
floor levels, plus a widows watch on top. The gingerbread trim
consists of 7 different patterns from old railroad depots. Mr. Allison
was a railroad carpenter. |
