The history of log homes (or cabins) in Oregon goes back to the pioneers.  Log homes where the most basic structures that early pioneers could build using the limited tools and supplies they could pack, but they had a vast amout of timber to use.  Log cabins were usually only a simple one- or 1½-story structures, somewhat impermanent, and less finished or less architecturally sophisticated then the more modern home styles of the day.  Log cabins reached their peak of complexity and elaboration with the Adirondack-style cabins of the mid-19th century. This style was the inspiration for many United States Park Service lodges built at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. Log cabin building never died out or fell out of favor. It was surpassed by the needs of a growing urban United States. During the 1930s and the Great Depression, the Roosevelt Administration directed the Civilian Conservation Corps to build log lodges throughout the west for use by the Forest Service and the National Park Service. Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon was such a log structure, and it was dedicated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
