Not much
remains
of the Jane Allan home which was built in the early 1900's.
The foundation of the house was built of sandstone and the
walls were made of Bluff sandstone blocks. This small two-room
rock house was built by or for John Allan and his wife Jane
Allan. Not much of the house remains. The remaining stone
section of the house represents only one-third of the original
house. That is what remains of the house after the flood in
March of 1894.
There
was a log cabin that was originally on the plot where the
house was built. Presently, this house is a single structure
with roughly squared masonry walls on the north, west, and
south ends. The east wall of the house has been partially
dismantled and is now covered with plywood. There are also
remnants of a wooden foundation (made of horizontally-laid
3" boards) on the north side of the rock structure.
