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

Morning sun filters through the trees at John Olivers Cabin with a few dogwoods in the background…The cabin is almost completly surrounded by split-rail fence also…...The Oliver’s bought land in the Cove in 1826 and this cabin site remained in the family until the Park was established. The house is typical of many found on the eastern frontier in the mid-1850s, and reflects the skills and techniques brought into the mountains by descendants of British and European immigrants. This cabin is located on the Cades Cove Loop Road, in the Great Smoky Mountain N.P.

In order to use the corn or grains for baking they had to be ground into flour. This could be done by mortar and pestle but is very time consuming using this method. Man as far back as the 1st B.C. has used hydropower to help speed up this process. The use of this power came to be known as gristmills. / A water wheel consists of a large wooden or metal wheel, with a number of blades or buckets arranged on the outside rim forming the driving surface. Most commonly, the wheel is mounted vertically. Water turns the wheel then gears and ultimately the grinding stones. They are many verities of this method. / The wheel here at the John Cable Mill in Cades Cove is known as an overshot type. This gets its name from water running over the top of the wheel. This mill wasn’t the 1st in Cades Cove but by 1870 the population was large enough to support another.

Sepia Toned of a previous…Morning sun filters through the trees at John Olivers Cabin with a few dogwoods in the background…..The Oliver’s bought land in the Cove in 1826 and this cabin site remained in the family until the Park was established. The house is typical of many found on the eastern frontier in the mid-1850s, and reflects the skills and techniques brought into the mountains by descendants of British and European immigrants…..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.These fences are sometimes refered to as Worm Fence due to the back and forth placements…This cabin is located on the Cades Cove Loop Road, in the Great Smoky Mountain N.P.

One of the more modern structures in Cades Cove. A lot of the barns that were there, have gradually fallen in and nature reclaimed them. I can remember back to when a few people still lived in the Cove. They were allowed to live there by an arrangement with the park service when the land was sold. They are all gone now including those that stayed in the cabins in the Elkmont area. This barn sits beside the Cades Cove Loop Road. It still is in great shape and will probably out live me. I wish I had thought and taken the time 30 years ago and shoot a lot of the structures that are forever gone. Hind site is always better than foresight. Never pass up a chance for a shot, what you pass up today may be gone tomorrow…a block and tackle was often hung from the overhang of the roof to pull hay up and into the window up top.. image taken as mornings 1st light tops over the ridge to warm the already beautiful colors,and intensify parts of the field back of the barn…Cades Cove is located in the Great Smoky Mountains and one of the more heavily visited areas.

The Baptist Church in the Cove was organized in 1827.In 1836 William Tipton gave the church a half acre where it stands now. A log structure was built and served the church until 1887, when the present frame building was built. In 1839 some of the members spilt off over a disagreement about missions and formed the Missionary Baptist Church. During the Civil War from 1862 to 1865 the church stopped having services. They were pro Union and a lot of the Cove folk were pro Confederate. It was also unsafe to be to far from home as renegade soldiers, who plundered for themselves, would sweep thru the Cove from time to time. The congregation’s members used this building up to the 1970’s. One of the more festive events was “footwashing” this would be an all day or several days event…….The Primitive Baptist Church is located on a short side road off to the left of Cades Cove Loop Road, GSMNP
