NPS Form 10-900-aOMB Approval No. 1021-0018{8·liSJUnited States Department of the InteriorNational Park ServiceNational Register of Historic PlacesContinuation SheetSection Number7Page 1Cabin BenMacon, North CarolinaCabin BenNanative DescriptionCabin Ben, an appealing, remarkably intact one-and-a-half-story Rustic style log house erectedin 1932, stands at 115 Cullasaja Drive in the Dobson Ridge Addition, a small thlity-seven-lotresidential park on the south side of Minor Lake in Highlands. The cottage occupies lot #37 inthe park and enjoys an elevated situation overlooking Minor Lake to the north. The liTegular sixsided lot, bound on four of its sides (south, west, and north) by Cullasaja Drive, is retained alongthe street by a low stone wall whose height reflects gentle changes in grade. The two sides of thelot on the east, f01ming a wide "V," is marked by the gravel driveway that can·ies from Cullas[\jaDrive, an improved gravel lane on the south to the section ofthe street fonning the northboundary of the grounds. The cottage property also includes a small triangular extension to thesoutheast, originally a portion of lot #35 in the subdivision but now combined with lot #37.Associated with the occupation of Cabin Ben since 1933, it complises the foot of the cottagedriveway and the location of the cottage garage and servant's quarters and a small woodshed.A collection of documentary photographs made durli1g constmction of the cottage and sh01tlythereafter illustrates the generally open, original landscape of the park (Figure 1). Trees ofvarying heights stand on the cottage grounds and those of the surrounding lots; however, with itselevated site, Cabin Ben enjoyed views of Minor Lake to both the n01th and west. Thetopography and these views affected the design of Cabin Ben, and its placement in the south,fi·ont center of the lot, which is covered with mowed grass and natural carpets of pine needles. A\valk led--and today leads--west from the driveway to a low stone tenace across the south fi·ontof the house. Steps rise at its west end, fi·om a later ca. 1996 board addition in fi·ont of the livingroom, to the large, rectangular screened porch canying across the entire west elevation of thecottage. Until the recent (1999) addition of an open wood terrace wrapping the northwest comerof the cottage, steps led down fi·om its notih end to an infom1al (stepping-stone) walk leading tothe n01thwest comer ofthe lot. Here, a stone barbecue marks the site of sunnner picnics and aflight of steps inset in the stone retaining wall provides access to the street and to the reservationon the west side of Cullasaja Drive, providing the interior lot owners with direct access to MinorLake for boating, switmning, and fishing. Miss England, for whom the cottage was built, was anavid badminton player, and she created a badminton court on the north side of the cottage whoserectangular surface is slightly inset into the lawn and stone edged. During the past seventy yearsthe mostly evergreen pine and hemlock trees have matured, others have volunteered andornament the grounds, shading the lawn and rhododendrons and other flowering shrubs whichoccur as specimen plants and evergreen clumps.

NPS form 10·900.a!8·80)OMB Approval No. 1024-0018United States Department of the InteriorNational Park ServiceNational Register of Historic PlacesContinuation SheetSection Number7Page 2Cabin BenMacon, North CarolinaCabin Ben is comprised of two large rectangular log blocks (pens) that are slightly offset,providing interest to the elevations and opportunity for picturesque architectural features. Thelarger of the two blocks, containing the kitchen, dining room, bedrooms, and bathrooms f01msthe east end of the house and has a side-gable roof on its east end. The smaller of the penscontaining the large living room, occupies the west end of the cottage and has a gable front rooffacing south. It projects slightly forward (south) of the larger block, giving the impression of anell, and allows the placement of the front door in its narrow east elevation. On the rear elevationthe larger kitchen/bedroom block projects a like measure north of the living-room block: here adoor in the pendant position opens onto the shed-roof, screened service porch inset in the comerformed by the offset.Cabin Ben stands on low stone piers with vertical log infill. Its elevations are laid up in whitepine logs with saddle notches and concrete chinking. The ends of the logs project in altematingunifonn lengths from the comer joints. The upper gable ends are fmished with vetticallogs anddecorative log and limb bargeboards. The eaves of the side and front gable roofs are wide andfinished with exposed log rafters and purlins and flush board sheathing on which dark greenasphalt shingles are nailed. Natural colors form the color scheme of Cabin Ben with the brown,painted logs complimented by dark green window sash and screens. The cottage's vetiical boardfi·ont door and its screened door are both painted green. The summer cottage, while technicallyone-and-a-half stories tall, has elevations that are closer to one-and-three-qumters in height. Thishybrid elevation is a device used by Joe Webb on many of his cottages which allowed him toprovide living rooms with tall ceilings in one block or end of a house while positioning thebedrooms in a more conventional two-level block with lower ceilings and utilizing wall or roofdormers for the second-story fenestration. The roofline features the stack of a stone chinmeyproviding a fireplace in the living room. A stone flue stack tises off-center beside the rearelevation.The fi·ont south elevation, or fas:ade, of Cabin Ben has an asymmehical composition that is inhannony with its materials and mstic styling. The one-and-three-qumters height gable end of theliving room is the dominant feature, and it is flanked by the south end of the shed-roof screenedporch on the west and the recessed two-bay kitchen and bedroom wing on the east. A doublewindow opening, holding paired six-over-six sash windows and fi·amed by log board surrounds,is set in the lower center of the gable and illuminates the living room, as does the smallerwindow in the upper gable end that is finished with ve1ticallogs. This fenestration pattem isrepeated throughout Cabin Ben except for the six-pane casement windows in the wall d01mers.The two-bay elevation of the recessed block features paired windows in the cottage's center bay,illuminating the dining room, and a single window in the fas:ade's east bay illuminating thesoutheast comer bedroom. Two wall donners, covered with shed roofs and sheathed on their side

The east gable end of the bedroom wing has asymmetlical three-bay alTangement on each level providing illumination for the corner bedroomson each story and the batlu·ooms positioned one above the other in the center of the cottage's eastend. The lower halves of the trio of second-story windows are set in the uppennost tier ofhorizontal logs while the upper halves rise into the wall section finished with vertical logs,effectively linking the two wall sections in a sin1ple manner that adds interest to the elevation.The cottage's rear elevation repeats the fenestration pattem seen on the fayade except that thepaired windows (above the sink) in the kitchen are smaller than those in the pendant positionilluminating the dining room. A stone flue stack rises against the wall immediately beside (andeast) of the kitchen windows. The shed-roof service porch, inset in the comer of the offset,retains its limb-and-twig railing in the apron, screening in the tall middle section of theelevations, and vertical logs in the upper wall under the wide eaves. A screened door opens on itseast side onto a flight of painted cement steps that have long since replaced the original log steps.A like, later screened door in the porch's west side opens onto the L-shaped painted wood deckthat wraps the cottage's northwest corner and links the service porch with the larger west porchoff the living room. Tllis deck, built in 1999, handsomely provides an outdoor area for meals andentertaitling with same level access to the west sitting porch and the fanner service porch with itswet bar. The finish of the deck repeats the surviving original fulish of the porches and is fittedwith a limb-and-twig railing that effectively merges with the earlier railings. It is underpinnedwith vetiicallogs. A flight of six steps splays downward in its nmihwest comer to a concretelanding at grade. Cabin Ben's west elevation is occupied by the screened porch whose shed roofrises up near the eaves of the living room's roof. The limb-and-twig railing is backed with flushsheathing and serves as the base for the symmetJical grids on which the screening is affixed.The interior of Cabin Ben has a warm, mellow, handsome character that derives in large pmtfi·om the sustained ownership in the extended England-Godfrey-Daggett fanlily m1d theirstewardship through the course of seventy years. The arcllitectural fitlish of the rooms and theirinterior decoration reflect a remarkable hannony, personality, and a consistent expression thatdefines the best of interwar period interiors whose spirit has been maintained in succeedingyears. This has been possible, in part, because the funlishings of the cottage have never suffereda division among heirs, md much of the fumil!Jre that appears in documentary photogr·aphs or isknown to have been made for the cottage remains in place. In the living room the settle with itscurved wood back still faces east to the fireplace, the miginal draperies still hang at the four setsof paired windows illuminating the space, an old Southwest United States h1dian rug still hangs

While the cupboard in thedining room was built in its northwest corner b)' Joe Webb, the po1iable furnishings, includingthe chestnut dining table and serving tables, were made by R. J. "Bob" Lewis, a Highlandswoodworker, who also made a desk and a spool bed in use in cottage bedrooms. A set of chairspurchased from Sears, Roebuck and Company for the dining room also remains in use. LouisAlexander Edwards (1905-1999), a well-known and more-publicized Highlands cabinetmaker,crafted suites of fumiture in three different woods (pine, chestnut, and poplar) for three of theupper-story bedrooms. Other fumishings added in the succeeding years are in sympathy withthese original fittings. The other critical factor in the appearance and integtity of Cabin Ben isthat the architectural fabric has survived virtually unaltered through the course of seventy yearsexcept that the kitchen has been refitted with new pine cabinetry.The fiont door of Cabin Ben opens directly into the living r

In a 1996 survey among veterinarians in the United States, 70% said their nutrition education was inadequate. 3. In a 2013 survey in the UK, 50% of 134 veterinarians felt their nutrition education in veterinary school was insufficient and a further 34% said it .
