Roseville Log House

This is the house that started it all in 1985. I finally found that dream house near Uxbridge, ON and added it to our eight acre property.
Country: Canada
Saved from a burn pile in 1970, this exceptional log house became the first of many period log dwellings to be restored by Mel. Moved to a beautiful eight acre site near Uxbridge Ontario, it stands as it did in 1835. A cathedral ceiling with loft overlooks the massive living room fireplace.

An interior view of the Roseville log house showing the rustic beamed ceiling and wide plank pine floors. Mel's particular interest in 18th century antiques brings that time to life.

The fireplace with bake oven was a copy of a fireplace in The Indian House in Old Deerfield Mass. This end of the room carried up to the rafters, sometimes know as the cathedral style. Though a story and a half building, notice it only took 6 layers of log to achieve it.

What could be more comfortable and charming in a period log house than well-chosen antiques?

The dining room was a make-over of the original 20 x 30 board and batten cabin that came with the land. In the eventual form of the house it looks like an addition to the main log louse that came next.

A fine collection of hearthside accoutrements complete this cosy cooking fireplace.

The huge granite stones were gathered from local barn foundations in disrepair, creating this monumental chimney.
