Said to date from the late 1860s, this historic log cabin is Lewiston's oldest surviving residence and once stood on 19th Street between Main and G Streets. Its first documented owner was Samuel C. Thompson, who came to Lewiston in 1862 and became one of the county's chief wealth holders, eventually owning nearly all of Lewiston between 14th and 21st Streets. In February 1879, William B. Akins rented the cabin with his wife and their sons, John and Sage, and soon began buying property in the area. John later became a steamboat captain and commanded the Lewiston, while Sage served on the City Council for 14 years. Salvadore Miranda, an Italian-born gardener who had lived locally since 1886, and his wife Mary bought the property from Thompson's widow in 1898, added surrounding lots in 1901 and 1904, and built a new house on 2 1/2 acres, where his truck farm produced the region's first celery crops. Lewiston businesswoman Louisa Aquino Murphy lived with the family as an immigrant teenager and saved three-year-old Dominic Miranda from the fire that destroyed the new home in January 1910. In June 1937, the Pioneer Society of North Idaho relocated the cabin to the north end of Pioneer Park near the Carnegie Library. The building was moved to this site in May 2013 and underwent conservation, restoration and preservation.
