Located on Gaskins Road, this "saddlebag" log structure, circa 19th century, is unique in Henrico, being of a form rarely encountered in eastern Virginia. The building consists of two separate units joined by a commonly shared chimney of crudely-made bricks laid up in random American bond. Inside is wide pine flooring roughly hewn square and saddle-notched at the corners. The interstices were originally chinked with mud, but this has been replaced with brown tinted cement. Any original glass in the windows has been removed. The land upon which the log cabin sits belonged to the prominent Wickham family through the 1800s who may have been the original owners.
