Cypress Log Cabin (Beverly Shores, Indiana)

USA / Indiana / Beverly Shores / Beverly Shores, Indiana / Lake Front Drive, 215
 house, NRHP - National Register of Historic Places, 1933_construction

On the south side of Lake Front Drive sits the Cypress Log Cabin. Architect Murray D. Heatherington designed this building to demonstrate the unique qualities and many uses of cypress. At the fair, the cabin presented a mountain lodge atmosphere, with fences, arbors, and bridges decorated with cypress knees, carved to suggest animal heads, reptiles, and fantasy creatures. None of these details were replicated when the house was moved to Beverly Shores.
