About the cabin:
To totally
appreciate the effort and work involved, one must realize what it takes to "save
the past"....The owners have taken their own time to dismantle and re-assemble
'the Past' to to create an awareness of and for your guests.
At first
glance, it may appear to be the original homestead at Green Gates.
From 100-year-old hand-sawn logs and 130-year-old Pennsylvania slate, the cabin
was meticulously reconstructed using materials salvaged from vintage European
and American farm houses, a mansion, and a dairy barn.
The
Douglas Fir logs were once the hay loft floor, posts, and beams in a dairy barn
on Fobes Hill in Snohomish, originally built in 1909. The
elegant leaded stained glass windows were acquired from a farm house in England
and are approximately 80-110 years old.
The
cabin’s Pennsylvania “Peach Bottom” slate roof tiles are considered the finest
in the world. The slate was the original roof on the Kinnear Mansion on Queen
Anne Hill in Seattle which was built in 1878. The mansion was torn down in 1958.
The salvaged slate sat in an Edmonds back yard for the next 52 years, waiting to
be discovered and reclaimed as the Cabin roof for Green Gates.
The solid Douglas Fir door with iron strap hinges was handcrafted by Green Gates’ owner/builder using materials salvaged from the Fobes Hill dairy barn.
The
ceiling beams were salvaged from the Wonderland Park boathouse here on Flowing
Lake, originally built in 1940.
