¹⁸National Register nomination. The Caesar Hoskins Log Cabin is much altered but extant. The logs are fully dovetailed with V joint extending the length of the log; all timbers are hand hewn and numbered with Roman numerals. The rafters are joined with trunnels, since no ridgepole was used in the construction. There is evidence of a 7' x 3' walk-in fireplace. Further evidence to place this structure in context is an incised drawing of a Swedish schooner on an interior wall.
