Interior of the Sharp log home northeast of Huxley, Iowa, taken in 1986 by Farwell Brown. Seated by his stove is the present occupant of the cabin, Roy Thomas, a descendent of Andrew Bard who built the cabin in 1854. Upon the death of his cousin, Maggie Sharp, in 1981, Roy Thomas moved in. Thomas died in 1987 or 1988 and the cabin was subsequently torn down. Some of the furnishings and materials from this cabin were used in the restoration of another Story County log home, the Bauge home, which is now [2003] located in McFarland Park, the spinning equipment from the Sharp cabin, being an example.
