Iowa: Louis Arriandeaux Log House - Built in 1833, this log cabin's dogtrot design is essentially two log cabins connected by a breezeway and sharing a roof. This is the third site the house has been on, but for history buffs and lovers of design, there's an advantage to the current site, owned by the Dubuque County Historical Society: the log cabin shares land with the Antebellum-style Mathias Ham House as well as a one-room schoolhouse.
