This replica of a summer house at Kullihoma was rectangular in shape with a gabled roof open at each end to allow air to cool the structure. The perimeter post were of an equal height with wallplates placed on top of them in notches. The large post in the center of each gale end and the middle of the house were sunk deep into the ground for support.

These pitch-pine posts were strong enough to last several ages. Wooden frames were covered with mats of bark or grass loosely woven to allow air to circulate through the roof. These were attached with long split saplings to the ends of the lathes, securing the covering from the force of the high winds. The heavy logs above the mats resting on the eave-boards were tied together with a log which ran the length of the roof on top.

The summer houses constructed on the perimeter of the settlements had port holes clayed over on the outside, which made them virtually invisible to the enemy. The inside, was circled with paint so they could be quickly opened for weapons which might be needed for defense. There were two entrances on the opposite ends providing more air circulation to keep the Chickasaw cool during the hot summer months
