Description
Where this church now stands predates the log cabin meeting place when it was first established in the 1920's. The existing church was constructed in 1915 by a J.D. McCampbell. It's said he built it in 115 days for $115.00.
One unique feature of the church is that it has two front doors so that men would enter on one side and women and children through the other. Unlike most other churches of that date there was no physical barrier separating them once inside and they could then sit with whom they pleased.
The church is located at the third stop along the eleven mile loop. As you approach the small parking lot, if you see a parking space before the church, grab it, as parking is at a premium all through Cades Cove.

Hi Jim, Very good. I like the texture of the wood. The affect makes the image look one dimensional. I'm not an artist buff, but I know some painters work to make that effect. while working on the image, did you try Sepia? That may also add additional interest to the image.

Great composition. All the lines converge to a key point. All the people glares will be.

I have been in churches like these -- they are part of an era that is no more, but has left its mark.
