The Paulson House in Au Train, Michigan was built in 1883. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a state of Michigan Historic site in 1972.[2]

History

The Paulson House was built in 1883 by Charles Paulson, a Swede who had worked as a miner in Ishpeming and Negaunee.[2] Paulson homesteaded the surrounding area, growing cabbages.[3] He also owned a local gravel pit.[3] The upper floor of the cabin was used as a school room in the early part of the 20th century. Paulson and his wife lived in the cabin until their deaths in 1925.[2]

One of Paulson's daughters continued to live in the house until her death in the 1930s.[3] The Russell family lived in the house from the mid-1940s to the mid-1950s.[3] The house was vacant for some time, until the 1970s when it was extensively rehabilitated both inside and out.[2]

The house is now a museum.[3]

Description

The Paulson House is a 1-1/2 story, side-gable, L-shaped house, constructed of cedar logs.[2] The main section measures 25 feet by 29 feet; a single-story addition measures 12 feet by 18 feet. The logs are V-notched, and the gables are covered with vertical siding.[2]
