Cabin Ben is a historic log house at 115 Cullasaja Drive in Highlands, North Carolina. The house consists of two rectangular sections, joined at an offset. The smaller of the two sections houses a large living room, while the larger section houses the kitchen, dining, and bedroom areas. The house was designed by Clemson University professor of architecture Rudolph Edward Lee for a family friend, Miss Anne England, and was built in 1932 by Joe Webb, a locally prominent builder of log houses. It is a relatively unaltered example of Webb's work, having been designed to house relatively large family gatherings. It has remained in the hands of England descendants.[2][3]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1]
