The Scott "Kitchen"

~The Scott "Kitchen" Summer 2008
When I first met Harry Scott, this was the only building on his Little Red River property. He later built on to it, turning it into a very nice building with a huge stone fireplace and a nice comfortable living room. He affectionately referred to it as "The Kitchen", which at the time of this picture is essentially what it was.

On this particular day, Harry was entertaining a few of his local friends-that's Harry behind the bar. He told me people would often pull their boats up to his dock, walk up with money in hand and ask if they could get a cold beer. He said that on more than one occasion they'd say, "Can I see a menu", thinking his place was a river-side restaurant...then he'd just laugh. He said he was going to have to put up a big sign so folks would know it was private property.

Big dreams often times start small, but Harry knew when he purchased this property his plan was to build a spectacular log home on it: and that's what he did. He started small, but over time ended up building his dream log home.

Harry Scott, you were a character my friend. It was a pleasure and an honor to have known you!

  1. I saw the episodes of Timber Kings that showed Harry finally making his dream of a log home come true...he seemed like a really cool guy and so sorry he never saw his project finished....RIP Harry...I bet your family misses you every day....
