A hewed log house was built in 1853 by for Parham Callaway and his wife Nancy Kirk Callaway, who had come from Stanley County, North Carolina in 1852. An additional room was soon added to the original structure. It was made with an oak framework and pine hauled by ox teams from near Rockridge in Izard County. It had a brick fireplace in the west end made with brick from a Marshfield kiln. The attic of both rooms was floored and some of the children slept in the overhead space. There was a porch on the south extending the length of the two rooms. A log smoke house was located about thirty feet south and east of the log room and a two-stall log barn with a hay loft was built about one hundred yards east with a corn crib close by.
