An Architectural Study of Some Folk Structures in the Area of the Paintsville Lake Dam, Johnson and Morgan Counties, Kentucky,
Abstract
In May 1978, three log dwellings, another log dwelling subsequently converted for use as a barn, a log school building, a log and frame construction barn, four cliff barns and a weatherboard-covered log church in the Paintsville Lake Project of Johnson and Morgan counties, eastern Kentucky, were architecturally recorded. The report presents a brief introduction of the project area, describes the setting of the project area and details the recording methodology employed. Each structure is subsequently discussed in depth in both its exterior and interior architectural details. Floor plans and numerous photographs of each structure are included as are historical data important to a deeper appreciations and understanding of their historical significance. Brief conclusions arising from the study are offered, and some comparisons with a similar study undertaken in adjoining Lawrence County, Kentucky in 1977 are set forth.
