The following photographs were taken in April 1999 along U.S. 412 west of Linden in the Cypress Creek valley.

This house is in a traditional double-pen dogtrot style. Beneath more modern board siding is
a log structure. The house was owned by the late Egbert and Martha Lillian Marvin.

The William Ward house is now much modified. During the time of its former owners
the house was a dogtrot structure like the Marvin house shown above. The core of
the house probably is a double -pen log structure.
