A little history:

All beams for the home were manufactured in Kokkola, Finland by a company named Bothniahouse. Bothniahouse was known for building log homes, still fashionable to this day in Finland. The logs made their way to the US and Finlandia was constructed on site in Avon. It reportedly may be the only home on the island like it.

While the home has been refreshed, some of the original features and details remain. All inside walls and ceilings are the original wood beams, In the back bedroom, you will even see the back of a stone fireplace that was at one time a centerpiece of the home. The laundry room was at one time a sauna room. If you look closely outside the home above the main door area, you will still see an exposed beam that has the original stamp from Kokkola, Finland and Bothniahouse.

We hope you adored reading about this little piece of history here on Hatteras Island.
