While our family was in Phillipsville, California, on our 1992 California trip, we also saw the Famous One-Log House. It was closed, but my dad took this picture of my mom in front of it. The Famous One-Log House was created by Art Schmock in 1946 from a single 42-ton redwood log from a tree that was over 2,100 years old. It took two men eight months to hollow out a room 32 feet long by 7 feet high. It was initially intended to tour the country, but due to its size it spent 25 years in Cummings, California, before being moved to Phillipsville. In 1999 it was moved once again, to Garberville, California.
