This cabin, with its attached woodshed, offers a very unique view of an early Farm in Chaffee County prior to the turn of the century. The homestead cabin was utilitarian, with a one-room living space and an attached woodshed. Built of rough-milled lumber with bat and board siding, they were easily constructed and provided immediate shelter to the builder. After construction, interior embellishments typically included wallpapering over the interior rough finishes. Although a common structure of the time period, most examples in Chaffee County have been torn down. Few changes have been made to this structure since its construction, with the exception of the extreme water damage that has occurred due to the lack of roof maintenance. During the late 1940s, the interior was “updated,” and walls and ceilings were finished with Celotex, shelving was installed on the west wall, and linoleum was tacked over the plank wood flooring. Fortunately, all wall coverings were left intact underneath the Celotex. Additional changes included the replacement of the original paneled door and the installation of two additional fixed windows alongside the original single fixed sash.
