Tennessee, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Dan Lawson House
Dan Lawson built the original portion of the house in 1856. The brick chimney was unusual for the time and locale- the brick were made at the site. The original portion of the house was constructed of hewn logs. The house was expanded using sawed lumber. One component of the expansion was the "stranger's room," built on the front elevation beside the porch. The so called stranger's room was built to accommodate overnight visitors or passing travelers. The Don Larson house is in the Cades Cove Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing property.
