Looks like the log cabin look is faked, and was added later. Don't think anyone would place the second floor red trimmed window in that spot if otherwise. Its a weird one. The flashing is sort of a giveaway too. I could be wrong.

I agree with you.The log cabin was added later.

The masonary structure is the older. Could be a couple hundred years old.
Appears to be built from broken fieldstones from clearing the land.
The heavy whitewash to seal the masonary walls.
Back never whitewashed, it is the 'back'.
Silicon sealed now from moisture
A farm house? Probably had six over six windows originally. Built in place. Duplicated in the addition (log cabin).
Inside maybe new floor, new walls, electric, plumbing, you get the picture.
Wide salvaged planking is popular for floors, hand nailed, not sanded, rusric, utilitarian.
The log cabin looks to be of salvaged wood, possibly from old buildings, barns and the like in the area.
Not out of the ordinary if your goal is to look 'old, been here forever'.
The gable end looks to be old barn siding.
The cedar shake roof is on purlins.
Someone may have bought an uninhabitible old house and RESTORED it. Rather than remodeling it.
Southern Maryland has this style architecture. St. Mary City and college date back to the Calverts and Lord Baltimore.
After all, it is where colonialism first set roots.

The upside down flag is a distress signal - what’s that about? Anyway, great looking house that is well restored.

Cleary , a very productive Farm House that began in the mid to late 1800's and saw many prosperous seasons and grew as did the family within over the next 100 years. It sure is built well and I love how they added eves , gutters , and a sun room to the old cabin portion of the structure.
They kept up the maintenance on it and stayed current with design features that made it both relevant and desirable. I could live there in a heart-beat. Oh yeah!

Good point. Hard to tell. Like the image.

I believe the whole country is in serious distress perhaps that is the reason for the upside-down flag

Looks similar to the house I grew up in southeast of Albany, NY. What we used as a garage and storage was the original Dutch home and barn completed in 1797. The main part of the brick home was constructed around 1800 and the addition to the back of the home was completed in 1803. When I lived there, decedents of the original Dutch settlers still lived about a half mile down the road so we were able to learn much of the history of the home.
