I came across this house in Fort Collins…
I called it a Dovetail House when I first saw it
But because the ends of wood sticking outward do not “fan out” like a dove’s tail, I guess I should call these finger joints. But calling this a “Finger House ” sounds kind of dumb so Dovetail House it is!
Needs some TLC?
Until I talk to the occupants/owners of this house I’m going to assume that this was an early semi-prefabricated home. You would see this kind of fabrication in log cabins and I imagine that the builder as a kid was very familiar with Lincoln Logs®. (A Lincoln Logs Collector’s edition costs over $80 at Walmart! today)
