The Dacha
The house was owner built in 1950 using only lumber and stone harvested on-site with the exception of the Port Orford cedar used in the decks. The Douglas fir and, redwood was felled and milled on-site. It's architecture and construction is quite typical of the authentic Oregon Woodsman. That is to say, it's built like a brick shit house.
