Fish House, Macclenny, Baker County, FL

These drawings were donated to the H/H collection by the University of Florida's College of Architecture; the drawings were produced no earlier than 1974 by architecture students at the University of Florida who chose to participate in the preservation option of the architecture curriculum.
Significance: This site is an early example of a primitive frontier farm built in north central Florida. The log portion of the residence is believed to have been built by a one-armed Confederate veteran named E. Rogerson just after the Civil War. The house was first occupied by the Fish family in 1891, remaining their home until 1952. The architecture is one of expediency, and illustrates how early settlers of the area met the challenges of the environment.
