Built about 1848 on land east of Birdville in Tarrant County, the cabin rose on land that was part of what is now called the Peters Land Grant, a large parcel granted by the Texas Republic to settlers from the South and Midwest. It belonged to Isaac Parker, a close friend of Sam Houston, and Parker's wife, Lucy. Over time, Isaac Parker converted the double log cabin (one portion contained the bedroom, the other the kitchen) into a spacious home, and the original "dogtrot" cabin was buried beneath sheetrock and clapboards for many years. The underlying cabin was eventually moved to the Log Cabin Village site.; Credit line: The Lyda Hill Texas Collection of Photographs in Carol M.
