The John Oliver Place built mid 1850’s.It is located on the Cades Cove Loop in the Smoky Mountains
A late evening on the Chesil bank, Dorset.UK
Original coloured version.. Messing around at a beach..
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.

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

Houses look a lot like this from where I’m from.
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.
I liked the colour of the chimney
Desolate path leading to nowhere…..

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.
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
