Căsoaia Paltin
Moldavia, Vrancea county
Paltin, Romania
This single-cell dwelling structure with porch served as an annex within a farmstead, perhaps providing living space for members of an extended family. The horizontal log construction rests on stones, and is protected by deep roof overhangs. The carving of the vertical porch rail balusters contrasts with the horizontals of the construction. The porch is reached by a sloped and notched log on the right of the structure.
