This cabin has an interesting history. When Matilda Shields Gregory's husband left her and her small son, around 1895, her brothers built her a small rough-hewn log cabin for a place to stay. She then married Henry Whitehead in 1898, who built a fine cabin with finished sawn logs and a brick chimney (rare among the old mountain cabins) in front of the old, connecting them with a covered walkway. You can see the difference between old and newer in this view.
