This is one of the neatest structures on the Cades Cove loop road in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The cantilever barn is a fixture in, as they say, Upper East Tennessee. The amount of rainfall would cause crops to deteriorate in a regular barn so these, carryovers from Swiss, Swedish and German farmers, would allow the rain to run off well past the stored crops and the air circulation with the deep overhangs provided extra insurance against rotting crops. This one at the Tipton Place is a gem.
