"Shiloh," an authentic double-log house, is the result of a life-long interest in southern history combined with the rural lifestyle of Bob and Sandi Glover. Bob holds a PhD in history and is a retired college professor. Sandi has a degree in history and is an outstanding cook. They have turned their farm house into a unique bed and breakfast offering.

The dog-trot house, originally belonging to pioneer settler John King and located in Nacogdoches County was purchased by Bob in 1975, disassembled and moved to its present location where he painstakingly reconstructed it. Lean-to sheds on the back, which originally housed harness, saddles and seed are now bathrooms and a kitchen. The distinctive dog-trot breezeway allowed southern pioneers some relief from the summer heat and some separation for family members living on each side. It still functions as a comfortable sitting area today.

The house is built of southern yellow pine and the logs on the west side are half dove-tailed notched. This technique is believed to have originated in Germany. The idea was transplanted to Pennsylvania, borrowed by Scotts-Irish immigrants and carried westward by pioneers. The room on the west was built before the Civil War and the east room was added later, a common practice as families grew. The two were joined with a common roof and floor, leaving the breezeway between.
