Yeah Shotgun house. My grandparents in Enterprise Al. had one that was, as I called it as I got older, a "double barrel". Three rooms down one side, front room with fire place, their bedroom, and large kitchen area with coal stove for heat. There were Grandpa, grandma and their 9 children. All gone now my mother was the last at 92 this time last year. Second three room section was staggered and attached via an open 8 foot wide breeze way, those were all bed rooms, center bedroom had fire place. Large front porch, facing the west, with a swing and three or four rocking chairs, rear porch was facing east and had a wash up place where we could get cleaned up for dinner. All this was under one shake roof. The two front rooms were built around a log framed house house which was built in late 1800's. All gone now, shake roof started to give in and it became a bit dangerous. Uncle who built next door tore it down but saved the log house inside and it was rebuilt by decendants of the origional builders in the 1980's I believe. Wow what stories this old place held. Thanks for giving me a few moments to reflect. J

He was the one with the threshing machine, a JI Case on steel wheels, and he pulled it to our farm with a JI Case standard tractor also on steel. In those days, steel wheeled implements were common. The roads were general gravel, so the lugs cutting into them wasn't a problem. George would set up the thresher, s
