The home he lived in with his father, mother, and sister, that they built, was a small log cabin. There is an exact replica of the inside in the museum in Springfield, IL. It is about 25 feet by 15 feet. This one had two rooms--bedroom for the parents and livingroom--and a small loft--where the kids slept. I am pretty sure it was the one in Indiana, where they moved when he was about 7, not Kentucky, where they lived until then. I believe the home they lived in in Kentucky was about 30 by 15, just one room. The home that he, Mary, and their sons lived in (before the Presidency) that is in Springfield, IL, is quite large. There is a main floor and an upstairs. There are about four bedrooms--one for Abraham and Mary, one for their oldest son, Robert, one for their other two boys, Willie and Thomas, and one for the servant girl. (Their son, Edward, died young here.) Each of the family's bedrooms are about 15 feet by 10 feet. The livingroom and den, I think you'd call it, were about 25 by 12. Then there was a nice sized kitchen and diningroom. They had an outhouse in back that is about 6 by 4.
