Backwoods Beds and Berries

The heritage significance of this property lies in its architecture. The home was built in 1891 by settlers in the Red Deer Hill district with logs harvested from the area. The logs were cut, prepared and hewn together at the corners, providing the structure with additional strength and durability. The logs have also been covered with tongue-and-groove panelling and stucco, preserving the original structure to this day. Relocated to its present site in 2002, the building style and material ensure that the home stands as a landmark and testament to historic architectural techniques.
