The Shropshire Cabin (2003) - The Shropshire Cabin was built in the late 1700's. It was originally used as a country medical clinic by Dr. Shore, three to four days per week. Originally, the structures was composed of one room with a loft, or upstairs. The structure was located on an 85 acre tract of land on Shore Road in the Tobaccoville community. This parcel of land was purchased in 1930's by John Lee Shropshire from two former landowners, Mr. Dula and R.R. Jones. After acquiring the house and land, Mr. Shropshire made a kitchen addition on the back of the house where the two "logged" window openings are located. Later, a two room addition was made on the left of the house. The house was occupied by renters in the 1950's and remained occupied until the 1970's. The building was restored in 2003 and is being used as a village bakery in Yesterday Village. The building is contrubited in the memory of John Lee and Bess S. Shropshire by sons, Donald G., John D., and Kent S. Shropshire.
