Completed in 1949, the ceiling of the Koshare Kiva is the largest self-supported log roof anywhere in the world. Six hundred and twenty logs, weighing over forty tons, span across a room sixty foot across and the roof is self-supporting. Architects claimed that such a log roof was impossible to construct, but that did not stop the roof from being built.
