Announcement is made that the
only log cabin in Philadelphia is
about to be demolished to make way
for the widening of Mermaid lane,
near Chestnut This information will
doubtless be chiefly surprising from
the necessary collateral fact that
there is such building in the Quaker
city. The cabin in question was
erected by one Christopher Yeakel in
1743, and has been in constant use
as a residence ever since. 1t is a
one-story structure. built entirely Of
logs, and for many years has been one
of the sights of upper Germantown.
