The Blanton Log House, in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico near Los Ojos, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. [1]

It is a 45 by 15 feet (13.7 m × 4.6 m) log house built with horizontal logs with some mud plaster. It has a very steep corrugated metal roof, and vertical planking in both of its gable ends. It has chamfered porch posts. A shed-roofed addition, about 20 by 10 feet (6.1 m × 3.0 m) on its southwest corner. [2]

It was deemed significant as "a well-preserved, slightly-modified example of Hispanic log housing. The dovetail notching, half dovetail joints and steep roof are somewhat unusual. The linear, modular composition, multiple doors and gable doors are typical." [2]

It was altered by an opening cut into one of its short ends so that it could be used as a garage. [2]

It is located on the east side of La Puente Rd. about 250 yards (230 m) south of Hatchery Rd., just above the drop-off from the first plateau to the river. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Tioga Pass Entrance Station</span> United States historic place

The Tioga Pass Entrance Station is the primary entrance for travelers entering Yosemite National Park from the east on the Tioga Pass Road. Open only during the summer months, the entrance station consists of two historical buildings, a ranger station and a comfort station, built in 1931 and 1934 respectively. Both are rustic stone structures with peeled log roof structures, and are examples of the National Park Service rustic style employed at the time by the National Park Service. Two log gate structures that had been removed since the site's original construction were rebuilt in 1999; the stone piers that supported them remain. The use of stone at Tioga Pass set a precedent for the extensive employment of stone construction in other park buildings in the Yosemite high country. Civilian Conservation Corps workers assisted in the entrance station's construction.
