Jasper in Pickens County, Georgia — The American South (South Atlantic)
The Kirby-Quinton Cabin
Reconstructed as a single-pen log cabin or single rectangular structure, the Kirby-Quinton Cabin is typical of early nineteenth-century cabins in Georgia. The oak and pine logs used in the construction of cabins throughout the region can last longer than other materials, such as brick or stucco, when covered by a roof and set on pillars above the ground. Six to fifteen inches in diameter, the logs are sealed with mortar and fit together. at right angles without the use of nails or other hardware.
