Abstract:
As far as can be determined, the office of the Kings Mountain HERALD is the largest log house in the world. The 15,200-square-foot building opened in May, 1980, and contains many antiques including a juke box and old-fashioned popcorn machine. Because of the historical significance of Kings Mountain during the Revolutionary War, building a log house in the same style as that time was a logical choice. All of the logs have been treated against termite infestations, and provide excellent insulation.
