Anotations

Scope note:

General term for vernacular forms of construction using entire logs. One of the oldest known methods of construction, log construction has been used for dwellings, fortifications, churches, bridges. Log walls are produced by stacking logs and filled with mud or other insulating materials. Structures made of logs are characterized by corner joints that interlock with a cross-lap connection, or with dovetailing.
