Folk Art Log Cabin Model
• I have not been able to discover who
made this &#34;folksy Log Cabin&#34;, but believe
it was made in BC, and most likely on
Vancouver Is.
• This is a handcrafted piece for a
display, a train model, or even as
architectural rendering of an actual cabin.
• This model is a two-story design with a
textured, shingled-style roof.
• The chimney is crafted from small,
smooth river stones, held together with a
mortar-like adhesive to mimic a real
stone hearth.
• The combination of horizontal &#34;logs&#34; on
the lower level and vertical planks on the
upper level is characteristic of transitional
folk art, where different building styles
are represented in one piece.
• The shingles appear to be made from
natural cedar bark.
• The &#34;main floor&#34; has a pot belly stove, a
fireplace and hearth, a chair, and a ladder
leading to the second floor.
• The &#34;second floor&#34; has a bed with a
&#34;hand knitted&#34; bedspread, a chest of
draws, and the two &#34;stove pipes. which
act to anchor the roof.
• My best guess to age is sometime
between 1950 and 1970, because of the
plastic for the windows, and the type of
yarn for the bedspread.
• In fairly good condition, no cracks,
breaks, but some roof tiles are missing
