The Tipton Place

Cades Cove's Tipton Place was built in the 1880s by the descendants of Revolutionary War veteran William "Fighting Billy" Tipton. Personally, with a fifteen year gap between visits to the cabin, it became evident that layers of green moss had been removed from the siding and roof shingles. I had to decide on rendering the new, renovated homestead, or the mossy version I saw years ago. You can tell which way I decided to go!
