The Henry Whitehead place.The ultimate log house, built in 1898. From logs sawn square at a nearby mill, a tight-fitting crib was built with hardly any spaces left to chink. The corners are worked to near perfection. Most of the interior log faces, ceiling joists and boards were dressed with a hand plane. How many endless strokes brought them up to this smoothness? The wall toward the prevailing wind was weatherboarded to keep out wind and rain, and to preserve the chinking. A brick chimney, rare for the Smokies, was made of brick molded and fired on the property. A transition house, this one is a beautiful blend of log work and sawmill technology. By contrast, the older cabin was built almost entirely with a felling axe under emergency circumstances. Rough-hewn logs with jagged ends, and the rubble stone chimney show the most hasty kind of construction. This pair of dwellings represents about the roughest and finest of log construction in the Smokies. Sepia tones can be ajusted on request by e-mail

The sun is beginning to filter through the trees, and the dogwoods are in full bloom here on this beautiful spring morn at the John Oliver Place………….Split-rail fences require much more timber than other types of fences, and so are not common in areas where wood is scarce or expensive. However, they are very simple in their construction, and can be assembled with few tools even on hard or rocky ground. They also can be built without using any nails or other hardware; such hardware was often scarce in frontier locations…….American chestnut was the tree of choice until wire fencing became cheaper and the chestnut blight eliminated this tree…….. The distance between either the zigs or the zags was 16½ feet or one rod. A landowner could then count the zigs or the zags along the side and end of his field and determine the number of square rods in a field which in turn told him how many acres the field contained. One hundred sixty square rods is one acre, so a field ten rods times sixteen rods was an acre.

The corn crib at the Tipton place is an example of a double pen corn crib, larger than average, and having a driveway through the center. This not only provided a way to conveniently unload the wagon but allowed for extra air to flow through the crib. The hewn log sides were left with open spaces to allow air to circulate through the corn, both allowing it to dry initially and helping it to stay dry…The roofing is known as shackes, which are wooden shingles usually split from leftover parts of logs ….Behind the crib is the edge of a cantalever barn unique to this part of the country……This shot was taken on Cades Cove Loop Road in The Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

A pastel sketch of a rough hewn cross. Mine were the hands which held the crayons, but God the one who moved them. / We are all held in God’s hands always. We were the day Jesus stretched out his arms in love for us from the cross. / And so it is now.

At The Mountain Farm Museum,most of the structures were built in the late 19th century and were moved here in the 1950s. The Davis-Queen House offers a rare chance to view a log house built from chestnut wood before the chestnut blight decimated the American Chestnut in our forests during the 1930s and early 1940s. The museum is adjacent to the Oconaluftee Visitor Center,On the NC side of Hwy.441 in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The Davis/Queen house was originally located on Thomas Divide north of Bryson City along Indian Creek. Beginning about 1900, it was built by John E. Davis over a period of a couple years. The house was constructed from American chestnut trees. About 1917 the Davis’ sold their farm to a neighboring family, Joe Thad Queens, who owned the house at the time the land was purchased for inclusion in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It has been described as “the finest example of the large log house in the park.” Davis was a master craftsman who built the house with the aid of his two boys. He “matched” the log walls by splitting a tree in half and using the resulting timbers on opposite sides of the structure. In addition to other duties, his sons, ages 8 and 4, respectively, collected stones for the chimney using a sled and oxen. It is the only log house in the Smokies with a decorative shingle pattern underneath the eaves. Poplar and Chestnut were usually used for the logs in the cabin due how they resist rot and decay.Oak was usually used for the shakes as it split, stright and thin, easier.

Dan Lawson Place, Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA The cabin you see here was built by Peter Cable in the 1840’s. In 1850, Dan Lawson married Mary Jane Cable, the daughter of Peter Cable. He built a cabin for he and his bride on the property he purchased from his father-in-law. The Peter Cable cabin was acquired by Dan Lawson after Peter’s death about 1865. With Dan’s aquisition of the Cable farm, he continued to expanded it into one of the largest holdings in the Cove, stretching from ridge to ridge, making him one of the wealthiest men in the cove. The original cabin, a pre-Civil War dwelling, was made of hewn logs but was altered at times by the addition of sawed lumber. The finishing work on the inside of the house is some of the best in the Cove. The faces of the logs were hewn smooth with an adze and the ceiling joists were dressed and beaded with a plane – unusual detailing for the 1800’s. The brick chimney, an unusual sight in the Cove, was constructed of bricks made on the property.

John Ownby’s log cabin it can be found along the Fighting Creek Trail. This building has been rehabilitated by the National Park Service, preserving original building materials, as it is the last remaining log building in the Sugarlands area. The logs are from tulip tree and white pine. The clay mortar for the chimney came from the banks of the near by spring. It is of a single pen design. The door is low so they didn’t have to raise the walls any higher than necessary.

Even though most pioneer cabins didn’t have gutters this may seem like a new idea. In 1066 the Norman invasion instigated a massive rebuilding of English towns and churches. Grand buildings have stone roofs and parapets, which lead to gutters and gargoyles to throw the water clear. These early settlers had probably seen gutters of one sort or nother by the time they got here but most evidently didn’t feel the need for them. The gutter here is on The Queen-Davis House,GSMNP. Built by John E. Davis who was a master craftsman who built the house with the aid of his two boys. Noah Ogle had used a similar type troth to run water from a spring to his back porch. These were a group of people that used what they had around them to make places to live and tools to work with. The food they had was buy trading their crafts or hunting/growing. They by far weren’t a unlearned class of people but very able to adapt to what ever change life threw at them.

Having chickens provided a food source for the early settlers. Besides the chicken itself, they provided eggs to supplement the settlers diet. Mostly the chickens just ran loose. One of the kids chores would be to locate the nest and gather the eggs. Sometimes evergreen trees were planted close to the house for a roosting tree. For those fortunate enough they built a hen house. This made the gathering of eggs a simpler task and shelter for the chickens. The hen house here at the Mountain Farm Museum was relocated from the Indian Camp Creek are of the smokies near Cosby, Tennessee. The Mountain Farm Museum is located at the Cherokee NC entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain NP. http://www.redbubble.com/people/suddath/art/1982024-2-golden-morn-ii
