I really like this structure, which appears to be a residence or cabin in its present incarnation, but may have served another purpose before being expanded for residential use. It’s certainly vernacular but the expansion makes it more eclectic to me. I first published this photograph in 2014 and have never been able to learn anything about it. I can just imagine it having been a barber shop or little country store. I’m probably way off, but it’s fun to guess.
The front and roof line do look more like a residence to me. Maybe the side addition was to add more living space?
Looks like it could have been a small country store. The front is not right for a residence back then, and on the side, the elevated door or entrance might have been where goods were delivered to be stocked in the store?
Either way, it’s definitely oddly vernacular! Intriguing!
