This two-story log house was first built in 1800, with several additions in the years since. It is built of chestnut logs with poplar floors. The fireplaces are made of limestone.
The home was built by James Buchanan, who married Lucinda East in 1810. The first log addition to the home was necessitated in 1820, to accommodate their growing family, which eventually numbered 16 children. The next addition to the house occurred in 1900.
The home is currently owned by the Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities. It is open to the public for visitation and can be rented for weddings or other gatherings.
