Hi Jerri: When you mentioned the "double log house", is that what I have always considered a "dog-trot" style log house/cabin? These houses were very common in Alabama and Mississippi; and yes, in Texas also. They are built with the basic 2 rooms (fireplace in each of these) with a large open space between them but the roof connects the rooms and "dog trot". This style house has a door leading into each room from the long front porch and then a door that opens onto the "dog trot" passageway between these two rooms. Some had "small side rooms" built onto the back of one or both rooms. I have described to you the home of President Lyndon Baines Johnson's grandparents at Johnson City, Texas. This happens to be the last one that I remember going to and was allowed to go inside the home. The hostess that maintained this old home also made bread over the open flame in the fireplace in the room that was used as the kitchen/dining room. That was one hot place on a summer afternoon!
