Bradshaw, George Albert, House
265 N. 200 West, Beaver, UTThe cabin is significant for several reasons. It is an example of a cabin built at a later date than most of the other log cabins in Beaver. Therefore, its design is different, being larger than most, having board-and-batten siding in the gables and it has more symmetry than most cabins. It was built by George Albert Irving Bradshaw, who was born in Yorkshire, England in 1861. He later married Elizabeth Moffat and they raised their family in the cabin. The cabin is also significant because there are very few log houses extant in Beaver and this one is in excellent condition. It also displays somewhat unusual notching.
