Description: Log cabin door. Put together with pegs and has iron hinges, handmade by a blacksmith. Structure was located on McDade Street and was there in 1947. The Neely family, a young couple, lived in the building. There were two rooms in the cabin and a floored upper level. No running water, and a fireplace for heat. Logs in the cabin were hand-hewn with spaces serving as windows for the family. Later the cabin was weatherboarded (windows and doors boarded over), and in the summer of 1996 it was torn down. Richard G. (Jerry) Tuck purchased logs from the cabin and donated the door to the Greer Heritage Museum in 1996.
Date: prior to 1947, through 1996
