- Additional Information This house is an example of a method used to build log cabins. It involves setting the frame logs horizontally and the roof logs perpendicularly to the slope, with all the logs going the same way. In this case, the logs have been barked and varnished. Even though this house is not an exact replicas of a real log house, it is evident that it is based on traditional designs, and that the methods are those used by the artist, who was born in 1899, during his working life.
