It looked a lot like the old log cabins we still have around here. Kinda cramped up inside but very homey feeling.

Did anyone ever determine the cause of the fire?

Actually, imho, Three Kings is a decent film of three exceptional solders who end up risking it all and doing the right thing

I read that there was an electrical fire that caused damage to one part of the upper section of the house and it has since been restored and is still standing. Are you sure the house was an old quaint log cabin because I think this is the house. confused

Great movie. One of the actors in an interview said it was 120 degrees in the desert when they made this movie.

Well now I'm a bit confused. confused
I think the house in that picture could be the one used in the film, where as the one I was in was a log cabin that had a brass plaque which claimed it to be the actual house Anne grew up in. There was also an old post office nearby supposedly being the original one that she frequented as well. It was undamaged by the fire.

I still have the VHS we took of the old house somewhere, though I lack the equipment to extract any images from it to post here. sigh

I'm not able to find any references of her living in a log cabin so we're gonna have to investigate this further. detective detective

Here's a link to locations in P.E.I. and Ontario where filming locations were and still no log cabin. sigh

PEI is a beautiful place all in itself. If it wasn't for the harsh Winters I wouldn't hesitate to live there.

I'm just trying to recollect what the log cabin actually was, since it laid claim to exist within the Anne of Green Gables franchise. It was back in the 80's when I saw it while touring Eastern Canada. We got news of it burning down shortly afterward, I think while we were in Halifax.

Yep, I remember that fire well...was '97 I believe...I was preparing for an arrival down east then..when that happened.

You are correct YouMeUs....the winters are very harsh there...

When you open the front page of CS you see what's happening, you can see the forum threads and then you click on one that looks interesting and you feel that you may have something decent to post to give others pleasure.

What actually happens is that you click on the post only to find that the OP is an absolute idiot and should not be on the site and should not be allowed to use a computer too.

Well I may be confusing that road trip with the others. Toured Canada multiple times, it's that big. laugh
Still haven't seen all I've wanted to, but at least I got to visit Nova Scotia which was one of my primary "wanna see" stops.

I can still remember that scent of ocean in the breeze like it was yesterday that I was there, so I know where you're coming from. daydream

We'll get to the bottom of it...or the bottom of something while trying to sort it out.

I do recall that the location of the log cabin wasn't original, and that the cabin was moved there for preservation purposes.
Tid bits are slowly returning... laugh

What I can remember is that it was a log cabin (exterior & interior) and somehow related to Anne. Maybe her school teacher's home? She was an orphan so parents are ruled out. hmmm
