Abstract
A building structure has simulated log cabin, corner joint units comprising a first series of vertically spaced, parallel, simulated log end blocks and a second series of vertically spaced simulated log end blocks extending perpendicularly to said first series of blocks, with the inner ends of said first and second series of blocks, with the inner ends of said first and second series of end blocks being intermeshed. The blocks of each series have their inner ends configured to form a notch with intersecting perpendicular walls for receiving and abutting the perpendicular faces of the corner framing of the structure, with the notches defining tenons on one side of each block extending along and abutting one face of the corner framing. The tenons formed on one series of blocks projecting perpendicularly to the tenons formed on the other series of blocks. Fasteners extend through the blocks to secure them in position as simulated extensions of the siding walls of the structure.
