Sawbones Log Cabin
A two room hand hewn log cabin built in 1880 by Art Evans, used on his homestead where he had a timber claim. It is restored as Doctor Wright's Office, a pioneer doctor as a representative sample of a structure used by this important figure within the village.
This cabin was originally located near Merritt Creek in an area known as the River Beds. The cabin was later moved by L.L. Griffith to his homestead on Five-Mile Creek, 6 miles Northwest of Bly, Oregon.
This cabin was originally a one room structure made with heavy square logs. Another room structure was added to one end of the cabin. Note the size difference in the logs used.
The cabin was a wood floor in both rooms and is 13 feet wide by 24 feet long. The square hewn logs fit tight, but some re-chinking,
re-caulking was required in restoration.
