Original Joe Webb Log Farmhouse at the top of Billy Cabin Road. First time on the market for this historic, generational home. Built with wormy chestnut ceilings, walls, beams and built-ins, it's the original homestead of the late Jack and Teddy (Virginia) Wilcox who founded The Highlands Playhouse. Later, the cabin became the permanent home for their daughter, actress Collin Wilcox (To Kill A Mockingbird, The Instant Theatre Company etc) and is now owned by the 4th generational heirs. It's a diamond in the rough and ready for your upgrades. Farmhouse (#126) is named by the Highlands Historical Society as one of a handful of Joe Webb log cabins worthy of preservation. http://highlandshistory.com/documents/historic_houses_list.pdf
