Cypress Log Cabin
On the south side of Lake Front Drive sits the
Cypress Log Cabin. Architect Murray D. Heatherington designed this
building to demonstrate the unique qualities and many uses of cypress.
At the fair, the cabin presented a mountain lodge atmosphere, with
fences, arbors, and bridges decorated with cypress knees, carved
to suggest animal heads, reptiles, and fantasy creatures. None of
these details were replicated when the house was moved to Beverly
Shores.
