Ebey's Landing

Went to Ebey's Landing on Whidbey Island late May.  Ebey's landing is a National Historic Reserve, preserving the land as it were when Whidbey's first caucasian settlers lived on the land.  Lots of farmland and barns.  I was intrigued by the block houses that the settlers developed to protect themselves from attacks on the families.  The houses were essentially two stories and the second story cantelevered out about 2 feet from the first floor.  I have no good pictures (what else is new) of the house, I only have a picture of a detail that I liked, which shows the timber used.  I'll have to go back and study this house more carefully.  I'm interested in the scale of the house the footprint is only about 14' x 20' and this is where the whole family lived.  It's about the same size as a walk-in-closet that I succumbed to design for a mcmansion I regrettably designed a couple of years ago.  Thumbs up to all the people in the new tiny house movement!  Here's photo 67, 68 and 69:
