Hobbs Wall was a redwood logging company which had the logging camp shown above. That isn't my picture but one that the Del Norte County Museum was displaying on their facebook page from the late 1870's or 1880's I'm guessing. The three bottom pictures are mine. Two rooms in my house were two of these bunkhouses. Then a third room was built between them to make a three room house and gradually a second floor and other rooms were added but the original roof and wooded shingles is in the closets and crawl spaces upstairs.
I wonder if you could figure out which ones were the basis for your home. I like the story of your house and always think that there were no two more perfect people to own it. You appreciate the story and history of your home and still have added your own story and history to it. Nice collage.
