(reconstructed)

On February 8, 1754, the Brothers began construction on a "cabin for strangers"; they completed it the following day. It measured 8' by 8', had a fireplace and enough room for two sick guests. In July 1754, another pen, measuring 6' by 8', was added and used as a photograph, taken in the early 20th century, of one that was in the nearby storehouse. The dirt-floored, roofed hall connected the two, creating a "dog trot" structure.

"By evening our lodging place for strangers was finished. It is built of wide rails laid up like logs, and has a small fireplace, so that in case of need we can lodge two sick guests."
Bethabara Diary, February 9, 1754
