Redden Log Cabin
A one room, hand hewn stout log cabin was built by Harry Dean around 1870 on his homestead. In 1946 Jim Redden took this cabin apart and moved it to Bly, Oregon and lived in it for the rest of his life - passing away in 1955.
This cabin was moved from its original siting on Cain Creek, 11 miles North of Bly, Oregon to one of the oldest ranches in Bly Valley gifted by M. Varnum and Hawk Hyde.
This stout cabin is near 15 feet wide by about 18 feet long. The cabin has a solid wood floor and was chinked (caulked) with wedge cut slabs driven into the cracks between the walls.
Deteriorating slabs led Redden to stuff the cracks with his own cloth rags. Redden also added a cement block chimney to carry out the smoke from the stove.
