The Westfield Washington Historical Society is reconstructing a 187-year-old cabin. Originally built in 1835, the hand-built cabin is located off of Penn Street.
Originally built in 1835, the cabin was hand built by a man named Nicholas Barker. It is located at 136 Penn Street."They are putting a housing development out where the original location is. And I got a phone call one Sunday evening, and they said, 'The wrecking ball is there.' So, I went out there and stood in front of the wrecking ball and said 'No.'" Diana Peyton, president of the Westfield Washington Historical Society said.
The city gave Peyton and her husband two weeks to move the cabin. Within those two weeks, they took apart every log and transported it on a semi-trailer to its new location."We have about three to 500 3rd graders come through our museum a year from the school, the Montessori school, some of the daycares around, and the kids will be able to come in here and feel and touch and hold and smell," Peyton said.
"Four by eight bricks are $100, the eight by eight bricks are $200," Peyton said."If you want to memorialize someone, you can put a brick out front, and it'll be there for as long as the buildings here.
