A logging company brought houses in by barge. They probably yarded the sections off the barge with a steam donkey. The two halves were skidded up the beach to the townsite. There are two 10 X 12 Douglas Fir beams under each half, and there's still some mud on them. The rim joists are held together with threaded steel rods. Some nice work was done in the attics too.
