Porter Cabin
This is the colonial log home built by Wm Porter I near Lexington, VA. circa 1740. It was purchased, disassembled, moved by rail and reassembled on a ranch outside of San Antonio, TX. It is now inside SA buffering the barrio and a country club area. The overhanging front porch was on the original structure.
