Dan Lawson Place © William Britten use with permission only
Dan Lawson’s place along the Cades Cove loop road in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park dates from 1856. The house is one of the “transitional” structures, featuring hewn logs as well as sawn lumber. The brick chimney, from bricks made on the site, is also unusual and modern. There is a granary (below), a smokehouse, and a barn on the property.

Great pictures!
This , to me, is the most beautiful and most possibly liveable building in the entire COVE—something about the whole place “reached” deep into my soul the 1st time I stepped into this cabin!
I Love Cades Cove. I have visited it with my family a few years back. The Myers Family were relatives of mine. My great great grandfather was William Fulbright Myers. They ended up in Indiana. I can’t believe, to this day that they moved all of the family from their homesteads to make a national park. Such hard ships.
