The Hannah White Log House, at 545 W. Boot Rd. in West Whiteland, Chester County, is a hall parlor plan dwelling built about 1800.
Why it's listed
Listed in 1984 under criterion C, with local significance in architecture; the nomination calls it a rare intact log dwelling for the region, associated with long-term Grove Methodist Church members.

Log walls are stuccoed over a fieldstone foundation; the tin roof is steeply pitched, with gambrel and gable forms.
Historical context
Hannah White owned it in 1800. An 1835 sheriff's sale conveyed it to Isaiah Smith, who then sold a 4.1-acre lot to James White, the owner until 1837, when the four-acre tract passed to Davis White.
