When they jacked it up to replace the foundation I was amazed. The original foundation was four cedar stumps that held up four cedar logs that were notched and joined to form the frame. They were then leveled and the house built up from there. These trees had been cleared from the lot where the house was built. I would guess it had been that way for close to a hundred years. That kind of tells you how our forest heritage was viewed. They were trees in the way of progress A beautiful house on 19th ave in the CD was restored a few years ago.
