Here's more, starting with a larger version of one of the photos
GW posted; USC dates it c. 1905:

USC also dates this one c. 1905; the landscaping is different, and there appears to be a driveway on the east side of the house, unlike in other photos and postcards:

This early photo shows the Normandie Avenue side of the house:

It was built by Judge Edwin H. Lamme, apparently in late 1897:
October 24, 1897 Los Angeles Times
The home, misplaced at Budlong and Adams, is mentioned in the last sentence of this article:
April 29, 1898 Los Angeles Times
It may have also been known as Casa Rusticana (was the Judge fond of listening to
Cavalleria rusticana?):

The house changed little between the 1900 and 1921 Sanborn Maps:

The LA County Assessor says the building that's now on the NW corner of Adams and Normandie was built in 1923, so the 1921 Sanborn (and Baist) may have been the Log House's last
documented appearances.
