  The Tipton Place
  by Lisa G. Putman

  The Tipton-Oliver Place – Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountain National Park USA “The Tipton Place” has been featured by the group “Smoky Mountain Masterpieces” 7/08. This grand old cabin belonged to Johnathan Wade Hampton Tipton. Colonel “Hamp” had a carpenter build this home after the Cival War. Hamp was a veteran of the revolutionary war. The land came from Tennessee Land Grants in 1821 aquired by his grandfather, William Tipton, better known as “Fighting Billy” for his heroism in the Revolutionary War. President Andrew Jackson was his friend and said that if he had a company of Tiptons, he could “lick the whole British Army”. Although Hamp never lived in the house, his two daughters did. Miss Lucy and Miss Lizzie were schoolmarms in the cove in the late 1870’s. The homestead eventually included a smokehouse, a woodshed, corn crib, blacksmith shop, cantilever barn, and an apiary for bees. William Tipton owned a great deal of the cove by 1836. He deeded much of the land to friends and family, including John Oliver and Peter Cable. The three of them established the Primitive Baptist Church. The home went on to be owned by Jim McCauley in 1879, and then by John Oliver’s grandson William Howell Oliver in 1887. William served as an ordained minister of the Primitive Baptist Church from 1882 until the time of his death in 1940. His family lived in the home until the land was aquired for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Other works in the Cade’s Cove Collection: Companion Piece

  Home Sweet Home I
  by Lisa G. Putman

  The Tipton Place – Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA Hamp Tipton had this house built a few years after the Civil War. In 1878, James McCaulley, a blacksmith, lived here until he built his own house. The Maryville Index cheered McCaulley’s arrival in the Cove, declaring that his ironworking skills would supply a long needed want. This explains the presence of the blacksmith shop in the hollow beside the house. The long shed on the opposite side of the house is an apiary or bee gum stand. Honey was a common confection, and also a money crop for some farmers. The apiary sheltered the hives from the weather, but not from bears. The smokehouse in the front yard held the winter’s supply of meat and the woodshed kept firewood handy. Across the road is a double pen corn crib, larger than average, and having a driveway through the center. Behind the corn crib stands a replica of a cantilever barn. Built in 1968, it is similar to the original that stood on the site. > Companion Piece http://images-1.redbubble.com/img/art/border:blackwithdetail/product:laminated-print/size:small/view:preview/1223691-1-the-tipton-place.jpg!:http://www.redbubble.com/products/configure/4160293

  Retired
  by Lisa G. Putman

  The Tipton Place, Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA. Old wagon parked under the overhang of the double-cantilever barn at the Tipton Place. This type of barn was unique to this area of the country. Mountain runoff would often swamp the area under barns, damaging crops. The cantilever design allowed farmers to keep crops off the muddy ground, while at the same time providing shelter for livestock, and farming equipment.
