Log house
open-in-new
<p>A log house, or log building, is a structure built with horizontal logs interlocked at the corners by notching. Logs may be round, squared or hewn to other shapes, either handcrafted or milled. The term "<a href="/facts/Log_cabin/HwkK1zXV">log cabin</a>" generally refers to a smaller, more rustic log house, such as a hunting cabin in the woods, that may or may not have electricity or plumbing. </p>
