Log and Shake Outhouses

Both outhouses are homestead necessities that served as simply, practical, and functional structures. Both outhouses were built in the 1890s and the Log Outhouse was built by Fred Kaiser as the outhouse for his original homestead house.

The Log House is made from smaller 4-6 inch diameter logs and has notched corners and is 6 feet wide by 6 feet long and 7 feet high in the front.

Both outhouses were originally located on the Emery Ranch, about 35 miles East of Highway 97 and 50 miles north of Klamath Falls.

The Shake Outhouse is framed in Lodgepole Pine and covered with Sugar Pine shakes. The outhouse is near 6 feet wide and 6 feet long and 10 feet tall at center.
