STUMP HOUSE

When settlers came to the forests of huge trees in the Pacific Northwest, some chose to live in stump houses. These hollow stumps of huge Western Hemlocks and Western Red-cedars gave just enough room inside for a bunk, a table, and a wood stove; in fact, they could be viewed as the predecessors of today’s tiny homes. This hollow tree would have been quite comfortable once the roof and door overhang were built and the wood stove was lit.
