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.

Please stop in and visit me to see the complete display of Smoky Mountain Photography at the William Britten Gallery in Gatlinburg, TN.

  1. 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!

  2. 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.
