OG
HOUSE |
| Originally located near the intersection of Brimley Road and Sheppard Avenue, the Log House has been re-constructed to illustrate the home of one of the earlier settlers in this area. Such a building would have been the first real "house" constructed by a family in a clearing in the woods. Construction of this type of house and clearing of adequate land were often conditions of receiving title to the land. Built of squared, dovetailed timbers, it provided a single large room which was kitchen,
living room and bedroom combined. The open hearth provided for heat, light and cooking. |
