Name/Title
Bark and Brush House, ca. 1904Entry/Object ID
161Description
Homes, such as the one reflected in this photo taken in North Fork, were made from Cedar Bark and Brush. According to Galen Lee, "cedar bark was preferred because of its virtual imperviousness to insect damage, fire resistance and because it retains heat. A small fire was lit in the middle of the house with the smoke escaping through an opening at the top. Houses were comfortable for their purpose, large enough for a family to sleep in or to seek shelter from the weather, otherwise the family spent most of the day outside, pursuing daily activities" (Lee, Galen "Walking Where We Lived", p. 129).Photograph Details
