Statement of Significance

Dodd's Log Cabin has high local significance as a fine example of the craftsmanship of John W. Dodd, son of an early district selector, who built many log cabins in the Olinda area. The log cabin is architecturally significant as an unusual and innovative example of the log construction technique. The Dodd family, who were associated with the early orcharding and flower growing industries, played prominent roles in pioneering the district.
