Author(s): Bruce D. Bomberger
Year: 2004
Summary
This is number twenty-six of 42 preservation briefs prepared by the Technical Preservation Services of the National Park Service. This brief focuses on the preservation and repair of historic log buildings..
The intent of this Brief is to present a concise history and description of the diversity of American log buildings and to provide basic guidance regarding their preservation and maintenance. A log building is defined as a building whose structural walls are composed of horizontally laid or vertically positioned logs. While this Brief will focus upon horizontally-laid, corner-notched log construction, and, in particular, houses as a building type, the basic approach to preservation presented here, as well as many of the physical treatments, can be applied to virtually any kind of log structure.
