A printed drawing of a long, two-story log house with a gabled end, shuttered windows, two front doors, and two brick chimneys, set on a slope with hills rising behind and trees framing the view at left and right. The back caption identifies the building as 'La Grande Maison or The Queen's House,' described as the largest log house ever erected: 84 feet long by 60 feet wide, with 16 large fireplaces and a log barn 50x300 feet. The house was erected in 1794 and torn down in 1842 for fear of fire.
