Joel Eddins House, Log cabin in Burritt on the Mountain, Alabama.
The Joel Eddins House features a hall-and-parlor design with brick chimneys, a gable roof, and four-pane windows on the upper floor.
Built in 1810 near Ardmore, this log house represents the oldest documented building in Alabama and received National Register status in 1996.
The structure mirrors early American frontier architecture with its traditional hall-and-parlor layout, demonstrating settlement patterns in the southeastern United States.
Visitors access the house through the main hall, which contains a fireplace and connects to other rooms via a quarter-turn staircase.
The house maintains its original 1+1⁄2-story design, with separate upper floor rooms that have no connecting doors between them.
