From the manuscript of Franklin Smith Farquhar, newspaper man in Uniontown, Fayette Co., PA. page 13 "The first house built by Allen Farquhar at Little Redstone was, made of logs. It was a structure made in the form of two houses joined together in front by an open-way, and a story-and-a-half, each side containing four rooms. a stairway ran up on the outside in the open-way to the second story. One side was used specially by the women and one by the men; this was a custom of the Quakers, living apart from each other. No matter how crude these log houses were, they at least proved a good shelter against bad weather."
