Photographs by Marlitta H. Perkins
Mission Statement
In Eastern Kentucky, our unique history and culture is disappearing at an alarming rate. This photographic archive is an attempt to preserve a record of the old houses, barns, schools, churches, stores, and other landmarks before they are lost to us forever.
The Old Log Cabin In The Lane
Oh the chimney's fallen down and the roof's all caved in
Lettin' in the sunshine and the rain
And the only friend I've got now is that good old dag of mine
And the little old log cabin in the lane
Oh the trees have all growed up that lead around the hill
The fences have all gone to decay
And the creeks have all dried up where we used to go to mill
And things have changed their course another way
(Thank you, Thomas Adkins)

Hello world!8 years ago
This was originally the Catlettsburg Fire Company when it was constructed in the late 1870's. A large fire swept through a large portion of the downtown area which was mostly built of wood. At the time the fire dept. consisted of one paid fireman and volunteers with only a horse drawn fire truck. By the time the volunteers were summoned to the fire scene it was already out of control. As a result the city government decided to organize a fire company with a paid chief and 3 paid men. It was decidedc that a fire station was needed so they built this then for that purpose. A steam powered fire engine was purchased and housed in the downstairs with the horse drawn fire truck as well as a back up unit.
