HarrisPhotographicArts > Little Greenbrier Schoolhouse
Metcalf Bottoms/Wears Cove

The Little Greenbrier Schoolhouse was constructed on land donated
.by William Abbott. Ephraim Ogle donated yellow poplar logs which
were moved to the site by ox teams. The Little Greenbrier School held its
first classes on January 1, 1882. Some students walked barefoot through
the cold (classes were usually held in winter months) from as far as
nine miles away. Church services were held at the school for several years
until a new church was constructed on land donated by the Metcalf family.

HarrisPhotographicArts > Mingus Mill
Cherokee

Built by Sion Early in 1887 to replace a water wheel powered mill owned
by the Mingus family, this historic grist mill uses a water-powered turbine
instead of the traditional water wheel to power all of the machinery in the
building. Located at its original site and built primarily of the finest yellow
poplar, Mingus Mill stands as a tribute to the test of time.

HarrisPhotographicArts > The Home Of Ephraim Bales
Roaring Fork

Ephraim and Minerva Bales raised nine children in this small two room cabin.
They owned 70 acres of rock and farmed 30 of them. The house was never larger
than it is right now except for a back porch that is no longer present.

HarrisPhotographicArts > John Oliver Cabin

Built in the early 1820s, the John Oliver cabin is the
oldest log home in Cades Cove. Architecturally, it
reflects the techniques and skills of European immigrants
and represents a style typically found on the eastern
frontier in the mid-1850s. Notice the notched corners of
the hand hewn logs; there are no pegs or nails as gravity
locks them together. The open spaces between the logs
(chinks) were filled with mud to seal out the rain and
wind. The small windows and doors conserved heat and
maintained the building’s strength.

HarrisPhotographicArts > Methodist Church
Cades Cove

Methodists were outnumbered by Baptists in Cades Cove.
However, in 1820, they gathered enough people to establish
a congregation. A log building served as the church building
until 1902. In that year, the existing church was built
by blacksmith and carpenter J. D. McCampbell.
He built it in 115 days for $115.

HarrisPhotographicArts > Tipton Place
Cades Cove

“Col. Hamp” Tipton owned land in Cades Cove but lived in
Tuckaleechee Cove. He built this house in the early 1870’s.
His daughters “Miss Lucy” and “Miss Lizzie”, school teachers
in the Cove, lived here. It was also rented to blacksmith and
carpenter, James McCaully while having his own home
built in the late 1870’s.

HarrisPhotographicArts > Noah ‘Bud’ Ogle Place
Roaring Fork

Noah ‘Bud’ Ogle and his wife Cindy started out on this 400 acre
farm in 1879. Even though they had been told this land would be unfit
for farming, the Ogles made their living on it for many years.
As the family grew in number, the original one room
cabin was expanded to the house you see today.
