This full two story log building is one of three remaining in the Borough of Emmaus. It has dovetail notching on the corners—a relatively unusual feature on remaining Lehigh County log buildings. Little information is available regarding its builder and history, but is claimed to date from the late eighteenth century although it may actually have been built in the early nineteenth century. The structure is now converted into an apartment building. This is a drive-by site.

       Access: 1281 Pennsylvania Avenue, Emmaus, PA. From the previous building continue ahead on Powder Valley Road to the junction with Routes 29/100.
