The cabin is a double-pen, 1+1⁄2-story cabin measuring approximately 34.6 by 30.4 feet (10.5 by 9.3 m). It is not known if the structure was originally a double-pen structure as it is today or whether the eastern pen, constructed of poplar, was built first followed by the addition of the western pen, which is of yellow pine.[2] The walls are built of hewn logs with dovetail notching. The cabin rests on sandstone piers and contains a central fireplace, which is also made of sandstone.[2]
