Gregg Cabin in Caldwell County North Carolina

The dog-run cabin was popular in the mountains of North Carolina during the 18th century. Today, it is part of the construction of cabins used for vacations and retirements. The plans shown below are two simple drawings.

Both the Saddle-Bag and the Dog-Run plans are shown — just two cabins under one long roof. It seems appropriate therefore, that they should be of simple log construction.
