it depends:
is it a, say, barbie doll size cabin, or a cabin a person can live in?
Yes. Abe used to live in a log cabin.
Toys was the final jeopardy category aired on April 30 2010. Lincoln Logs was the answer to the question about the 1918 set that was first used to built Uncle Tom's Cabin. The answer was Lincoln Logs.
Although they carry Lincoln's name, Abraham Lincoln was not involved. This popular toy was invented in about 1916, and undoubtedly carried Lincoln's name because the former president lived in a log cabin (and we are told he built it himself), so the toymaker figured this clever name would help everyone to remember the toy when they bought it. Lincoln logs allowed children to build things the way Lincoln did, making replicas of log cabins and other famous residences.
Lincoln Logs are made of 100% wood. Made by John Lloyd Wright. The logs are about 2 centimeters in diameter. They have notches in the ends so small wooden buildings can be made. Additional parts include doors and windows.
John Lloyd Wright, son of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, is best known for inventing Lincoln Logs in 1916. He was issued US Patent 1,351,086 for a Toy-Cabin Construction in 1920.Contrary to popular belief, Lincoln Logs were actually inspired by the Tokyo Imperial Hotel, not the American log cabin.
Lincoln Logs were invented in 1916 by John L. Wright, a son of the notable architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In 1918, they were marketed by the Red Square Toy Company and by John Lloyd Wright, Incorporated of Chicago, Illinois. While it is often assumed that the name of the toy relates to President Lincoln, it is also a reference to the inventor's father, since Frank Lloyd Wright's given middle name was "Lincoln". Lincoln Logs originally came with instructions on how to build Uncle Tom's Cabin as well as Lincoln's log cabin.
