C. A. Nothnagle Log House
Gibbstown, New Jersey
The C. A. Nothnagle Log House stands as the oldest surviving log cabin in the United States, offering a remarkable glimpse into America's colonial past.
C. A. Nothnagle Log House on NRHP since April 23, 1976. On Swedesboro-Paulsboro Rd., Gibbstown, New Jersey. Built 1638, claims to be (perhaps) the oldest standing wooden structure in the Western hemisphere. Pretty old in any case. And yes the left (south) wall looks like it is about to fall down, even more so in person than in the picture. Smallbones (Public Domain)
