“Oh beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesty
Above the fruited plain.
America, America
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea."

QUONSET | HUT
Erected in 1975, the quonset hut was the first structure Bill McGovern built on his property along the Tucannon River. The funny little building originally stored building materials that would later make up much of the interior features of the main cabin. The back room doubled as his daughter’s bedroom before the cabin was move-in ready and then a distant uncle called the hut home for a couple summers. It’s a little run-down and gets super hot during the day, but with a few alterations should transition nicely into its future role as a productive greenhouse.

ROOT | CELLAR
Buried in the hillside opposite the kitchen door there’s a root cellar. The cellar walls are made of solid concrete and have been cast directly into the hillside creating a bunker of sorts. The log facade is nailed together and held back against the hillside with tension cables. It doesn’t seem to offer any structural support but looks really cool! We’ll probably let the ivy grow back a bit, but we needed to clear it off to see just what we were looking at.
As a kid my grandparents had a pretty extensive horn collection nailed to the cellar but the previous owners took them all down. After moving them to a pile down on the river flat, most of them were destroyed when the fire came through last year. Fortunately we were able to salvage a few and get them back up where they belong.

PIGEON | COOP
In the early 1990s Grandpa Bill pieced together his workshop just uphill from the main cabin. Upstairs was originally a pigeon coop and roost where he bred fancy show doves and pigeons. For a few years the coo of pigeons would fill the property and every few minutes you’d hear the flapping of wings and general bird commotion. Charming in the right setting but absolutely maddening at night while trying to fall asleep.
I’m not sure what changed his mind, but after a few years the pigeons were sold off and the coop converted into a guest house complete with twin beds and its own fire burning wood stove. The building has been largely neglected for the past 10 years and we question it’s structural integrity at this point. Hopefully with some retrofitting it can be saved, but if not, odds are it will be rebuilt.
