Summary

The earliest structure in DeRidder, dating back to July 26, 1924, was built using natural wood logs, which were carefully split and assembled by hand before they were covered with board shingles. This simple, sustainable construction method highlighted the local tradition of harvesting timber directly from the forest. As early as the 1920s, settlers began building homes out of wood rather than metal or concrete, demonstrating a fundamental understanding of the land that would eventually become the foundation of the city.
