Has to be preserved. Windows a bit big for serious protection against invaders?

Wonderful set, Jim. The windows amazingly retained their square, enjoyed studying how they were set in the stone. Beautifully presented.

Thanks for posting these - the stonework is amazing - looks like all dry laid stone. Can't imagine how hard it must have been to get those larger stones at the top especially - and without any cranes or bucket loaders to help out. I love stone buildings of any age, style, size or condition!

I love these kinds of finds! Can you imagine the labor that went into this construction? It fits right into the scenery completely naturally. Wish we knew the history.
I think I read about this cabin in some Louis La Amour books! A famous gunfighter had a retreat hidden away plus there was (always) a girl involved....go look around for old skeletons & skulls with holes between the eyes. They were the bad guys...the good guy took all the gold though after killing them off. Then he & the girl took off for his ranch in California to start a new life.

Thank you very much...I looked at the headers and thought the same. Maybe they used a long timber tripod and block and tackle arrangement of sorts. Also like how they shimmed with the small flat stones!!

Great series! I bet they would be great in B&W as well.
Thank you Rab-Eye...gave B&W a passing thought but, the colorful stonework, it was just that...a passing thought!!
