The largest log home, made with an axe & saw, was the Bob Lowe home across the Guyan from Kitchen, WV. It was about 30 feet in length, and 20 feet in width, with a huge loft. Bob was a relative of mine; his wife was Caroline(Hill) Lowe was my late wife Norma's great aunt. The oldest log home was the Gideon Marcum homeplace, at Breeden, Mingo co, WV.Gid built this cabin in the early 1800s; it stood until a few years back,when it finally collapsed.I have a pic of the cabin. Another old log house was the church at Davin, Wv.; built about the same time as the Gideon Marcum home. Today, there are more beautiful log homes being built with modern equiptment, but its doubtful they will last as long as ones I mentioned.
