This log building was erected in the 1940s to serve as Owen D. Young’s office. The original three room log cabin was constructed from a Northern manufacturer’s prefabricated kit. The large office room is dominated by a coquina rock fireplace and paneled in pecky cypress. A small windowless interior room served as a dark room for Mr. Young’s photography. The cabin also included a small bedroom and bathroom. The rear room was a long screened floorless porch used to wash and process citrus and other farm products, which Mr. Young sold from a stand on the corner of old A1A.
