William Crawford House

The William Crawford House is a three-story log structure with a gable roof and rubblestone foundation located in Cumberland Township. The building displays hand-crafted corner joints where weathered exterior boards reveal the dovetailed construction beneath.

This residence was built around 1815 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The recognition acknowledged its importance to early frontier settlement in the region.

The house displays traditional construction methods through its dovetailed logs, which remain visible in sections where the exterior weatherboarding has worn away.

The property sits at the intersection of Brown's Ferry Road and Stevenson's Lane, east of Carmichaels. The grounds occupy roughly half an acre and are visible from the road.

A one-and-a-half-story kitchen wing extends from the rear and was integrated into the main structure as an original nineteenth-century addition. This rear extension reflects how frontier households organized their daily work and cooking.
