"Eliseussen-gården" (3 of 5)
Description
The dwelling section is probably older than the cowshed or the well / bakery. During restoration, a passage-way was found from the chamber to the passage (north wall), which could indicate that the two-room living-room may earlier have been a unit in its own right. In the chamber the timber is axed on the side facing the passage, but the side facing inwards is planed. This has been done sufficiently to make the wall as smooth as possible, for example to have something on which to hang wallpaper. In the dwelling section the timber of the two uppermost rounds of logs is sawn
the remainder is axed. This may indicate that the living-room was originally a single storey.
The cowshed is cog-jointed using axed, sawn and planed timber, which may indicate that this building was made out of whatever timber was available. The dimension of the logs varies by 10 cm between the smallest and the largest timber logs. In the cowshed the interior is fairly well preserved. The same is true of the well. However, the bakery oven was dismantled in the 1970s and the wall-stones were used to build the chimney that is now in the passage.
