The smallest of Marshall's pieces in SAM's collection is not crafted atop a wooden plank, as the other two. Instead, Marshall carved into a sheet of thick corrugated cardboard to create the inset porch, windows, and door of this cabin. With this layering technique, Marshall created nearly a full inch of physical depth between the cabin door and the edge of the porch overhang.

Marshall's favored materials can be easily identified in this composition: thin reeds, meticulously trimmed and placed, serve as the cabin walls; strips of cardboard with precisely drawn shingles make up the roof, from which a stone chimney protrudes. Crushed gravel creates a short walkway from the porch stairs off the edge of the scene.

Unique to this piece is the use of plastic bubble wrap on the picture window to the left of the cabin porch. Plain plastic was used on the other two windows to imitate the transparent sheen of glass.

The painted landscape upon which this cabin was built is warm; a beige overcast sky and patchy green and brown lawn could indicate that autumn is nearing its end. Two trees, one on either side of the cabin, sport colorful leaves applied in a thick impasto. These trees seem to be on the same plane as the cabin, yet neither are as tall as the cabin itself. Perhaps these are young trees, needing just one more autumn to pass before they can offer fruit to the cabin's inhabitants.
