From the Historical Perspective: Named by previous owners, Walden Puddle was built in the early 20th century in the Craftsman style, but the exact date of its construction is not known. It retains many original details including exposed log framing, a huge Pennsylvania stone fireplace in the living room, light fixtures, log beds, and built-in bunk beds in a child’s bedroom. The house overlooks a small millpond created in the mid-1800s for a lumber mill known as "Little Mill" that the Townsend family operated near here. Local lore claims the house was built of locally milled cedar logs. The first known owner-occupants were S. Albert Stevens and his wife, Grace, who bought the house in June 1948. However, in the 1940 census, they claimed to be living in this house in 1935, so it was built sometime before 1935. Albert was a cannery supervisor and Grace taught music in the public schools. The present owners--only the third to own it since the Stevens--purchased the house in January 2023. Jamie, a restoration carpenter, has undertaken numerous repairs to bring it up to date and one of his first projects was to re-grout the inside logs and clean them up so they do not leak. Both owners are antique collectors and the house will be filled with many of their antiques, including Christmas decorations.
