David Gordon House and Collins Log Cabin
David Gordon House and Collins Log Cabin, Rustic house complex in Columbia, Missouri.
The David Gordon House and Collins Log Cabin form a wooden residential complex with two distinct structures from the early 1800s. The Gordon House features a two-story frame design, while the cabin is a simple log structure with a loft space.
The Collins Log Cabin and David Gordon House were built in 1823 and 1818 respectively, representing some of Columbia's earliest residences. The Gordon House underwent several expansions during the 1800s and 1900s as families made additions to meet their needs.
The structures demonstrate early 19th-century construction methods in Missouri, with wooden materials and traditional building techniques from the pioneer period.
The complex is located on the Boone County Historical Society campus, where both structures can be viewed together. Access is available during regular operating hours, and visitors can examine the wooden construction details of each building.
These structures display the plain, practical building style of early settlers without ornamental features or refinements. The site's history shows how pioneer buildings adapted and changed as communities developed over generations.
