The log cabin was built around the turn of the centry in Denham, MN for the Dobesh family. The house was
24ft x 24 ft and 1 3/4 levels with 5 bedrooms. The first level was framed with stacked logs while the upper 3/4 story and roof were all stick framed. The floor joists were 24ft 6x6s that can be seen in the photo to the left. Like a lot of these old buildings the foundation eventually started to give way after over 100 years and it needed to come down. |
