dwelling #2: hurricane house
This is Hurricane House, a home originally built in the 1800's and then moved and rebuilt in 1946 by folk song collector Byron Arnold. It is located along the banks of Little Hurricane Creek, one of the five major tributaries to our beloved Hurricane Creek. With the help of the munchkins and a few other folks (including Nancy Callahan, Wayne Blackwell, the Trammells, Joy Baklanoff, and Guy Ward Hubbs), I discovered the long and winding history of this hand-hewn, square-cut log dogtrot log house made from the longleaf pine which once grew abundantly in these parts.
Currently, the house is being used as a home for tornado victims who lost their homes in the tornado. It's history has been unpublished to this day- though yours truly is working hard to find a interested party to get involved in its publication.
