The Baldwin-Coker Cottage is a historic house at 266 Lower Lake Road in Highlands, North Carolina. The Rustic-style -story log house was designed and built in 1925 by James John Baldwin, an architect from Anderson, South Carolina. The cottage is important as a prototype for a number of later houses that were built by members of the construction crew. The walls are constructed of notched logs, whose ends project at random-length intervals, both at the corners of the house, and from the interior, where logs are also used to partition the inside space. The house is topped by a side-gable wood shingle roof. The main gable ends, and the gables of the dormers, are clad in board-and-batten siding. A porch with naturalistic limb-and-twig railings spans the width of the main facade.[1]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
