He built this soon after college without an architect, contractor, or specialty tradesmen, only enlisting help when additional hands/backs were necessary. He then lived in it for ~7yrs during which he built a larger house (got married to my aunt during that time) and an art studio all on the same property. It’s only a few hundred square feet–the main floor is an open living room, a small galley kitchen, and a decent-sized bathroom with a clawfoot tub. A ladder leads up to the loft where there’s a built-in desk with book shelves and sleeping quarters. They’ve been living in the main house now since the mid-80’s and this cabin has been used by guests ever since.

Great looking cabin. Did he also build the Adirondack chair on the porch? Also, was the dormer window original or added on later? If you can share I wouldn’t mind seeing the inside. 🙂

I’m from the foothills near Winston-Salem. What is the nearest city to this masterpiece?
