Inscription. Built ca. 1870 in Barkley Township by Mark Quick. In 1901, Thomas Walters bought the farm. The cabin had four additional rooms which were later separated and the cabin was used as a lambing shed.

In 1929, Paul J. Hall, Sr., bought the farm. The cabin was moved into a large cattle barn to be used for feed storage. The Hall family donated the cabin to the Jasper County Historical Society in 1967. The logs were numbered, taken to the Fair Grounds and reassembled. The stone fireplace and concrete floor were added.
