  1. A post-emancipation cabin. Quite likely the only cash money the builder needed to spend to build this log structure was for the bricks for the chimney. No glass windows.

  2. Another transitional home. Obviously designed by the builder and built in stages. Notice the hip roof, more complex than a simple gable roof.

  3. Most add-on rooms in vernacular houses are attached to the rear of the "main" house. This one projects towards the street. This rural house has an "ranch-like" feeling since it is wider than it is deep. Note the broad porch. The builders used simple materials like tree trunks for the porch pillars and tin roofing. This is the Ripley house at Seabrook Village near Sunbury, Georgia . A fine example of using inexpensive materials to build housing. Count the number of additions made to the house Even dogs need housing and this is a vernacular solution to their housing needs.
