It is a US Army Officer's winter or semi permanent quarters. During thee Civil War, during the winter soldiers made huts. The inlisted men generally dug down two feet and and built up a two foot wall of logs or dirt, then topping the place with a tent. Officer's often built all above ground huts. In this hut, the wood walls are planks rather then logs and the glass window would have been "borrowed" from the same plantation that the planks came from. Note to the wood flooring and deck. Although quite extravagant by Civil War standards, these winter hut were crowded. This one would have house two to four peopl in the to by 15 foot area. Not two the door and fire place, both are on the same wall.This was also common, as it freed up wall space for bunks.

The best fire places were stone and mud or brick and mud bases, with a mud lined wooded upper. these varied widely in quality, some using old pork barrels for the tops!

Any how, I will have it and the enlisted version soon.:D

Very cool! I'll certainly build it. My nephews are Civil War fiends.
