North Arrow Log Homes and Timber Structures - Serving Michigan, Indiana and Ohio - "We're Building Your Dreams!" |
|
|
My great grandfather David Parrish began building log camps for the timber workers, then small log homes for family members, then larger homes for families in the early 1900's. As people began to come north for summer vacations he began to build for the tourist.

How We Became North Arrow
More homes were built and more arrows were placed pointing North. We have named our business after that arrow that points North and we continue with the tradition of putting an arrow in our homes that points North. (I think grandpa would be pleased) Our arrows are all hand made, cedar shafts, with real turkey feathers and a real hand chipped stone arrowhead.
Great grandpa Parrish and his sons built many beautiful log homes on Drummond Island Michigan. Drummond Island lays at the mouth of the Saint Mary's River at the north end of Lake Huron. His beautiful log home was conviently located on Whitney Bay and served as a stop-over place for many travelers.

In the early 1900's it was very important to be "direction oriented" and as the family finished their home, someone came up with the idea of putting an arrow through the king post truss in the living room and having that arrow point north.
To this day Grandfather Parrish's tradition carries on. We are proud to bring these traditions to the 21st Century - We thank you for visiting us today! |
