Figure 188. Poster: Hewn-timber cabin after the hurricane

Before Hurricane Hugo in 1989, the original cabin portion of Ms. Catherine’s house was intact and had a good roof.  After the hurricane, the entire roof was crushed by pine trees, so no museums wanted the cabin and it was allowed to stay at Francis Marion University where it belonged.  (Poster by Amelia Vernon, donated 1998.)
