The log home was placed on the Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures on October 25, 1978. This is an example of a pioneer Indiana home, a two-story log house on a bluff overlooking the Ohio River just west of Laughery Island. It was built in the block-house end method of log construction, from yellow poplar logs (average height 18", average thickness 10"). The logs are hand hewn on the inner and outer surfaces and the bark is intact on top and bottom.

When the home was rediscovered in 1971, most of the daubing was lost due to age and the shrinkage of the logs. Originally this home was two rooms, one on top of another, 17' by 20', with a full field stone cellar below. The interior consisted of a stairway to the sou ...
