Cabin at Black Moshannon State Park[edit]
The image clearly shows the cabin and the surrounding forest and is well lit and nicely composed. The image is used in the FA article about the park which the cabin is in and is large enough for FP. I am submitting this here as Juliancolton suggested I nominate this for Featured Picture. The cabin is on a bit of slope, but the image may also be slightly tilted.

The log cabin is very clearly modern, with tar shingles and steps made in a more modern style. However, we can turn that modernity to our advantage by adding it into the Log cabin article - there's a section on the creation of modern log cabins in national parks, but no examples of these modern log cabins. This would solve any notability issues, and make it an excellent candidate for FP. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 01:06, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
- Reply: Thanks, I guess I did not make it clear enough - I think it is notable as a CCC-built cabin within a historic district in the park that is listed on the NRHP. The cabin was built by the CCC between 1933 and 1937, although as you note the roof and steps are more modern replacements (since it is still rented on a regular basis). The log cabin itself and the stone chimney are original. See this reference for the NRHP nomination. [1] I will also add the image to the log cabin article next.

- I'll second this. A little pre-nomination work can help make a nomination more sure, that done, I think we've got an excellent FPC. =) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 05:09, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
