A LOG HOUSE
selected for their straightness and
symmetry.
The wide porches that extend all along both sides of the house afford plenty of room for outdoor living.

As shown in the picture, one end of
the porch at the front of the house
is recessed to form a square (lining porch, which opens into the kitchen and also into the big room. This is
a combined living room and indoor I dining room, to be used for the latter purpose only in chilly or stormy weather, if the house is
meant for a summer camp.
The general effect of this room is in exact harmony with the exterior of the house. The door from the porch opens into an entry which on one side gives access to the two bedrooms at the front of the house and on the other leads by a wide opening into the main room. The walls and partitions are of logs and the ceiling is beamed with logs flattened on the tipper side to support
the floor above. The fireplace, like the chim- of the room, but by the suggestion of a division ney outside, is built of split stone, a material made by the two logs placed one above the especially suited to this house, and is in a nook other across the ceiling logs, and the two or recess that is formed, not by the shape posts that form the ends of the fireside seats.
VIEW OF LIVING ROOM, SHOWING THE LOG CONSTRUCTION WHICH SEPARATES THE FIREPLACE NOOK FROM THE REST OF THE ROOM, AND ALSO GIVING AN IDEA OF THE EFFECT TO BE OBTAINED BY THE USE OF LOG PARTITIONS.
