Joseph K. Oppermann - Architect, P. A. in 2015, prepared this historic structure report for the Higdon Cabin, one of the buildings to be retained as part of a Memorandum of Agreement signed by representatives of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the National Park Service, and the Tennessee State Historic Preservation Officer. The purpose of this report is to document the development, use, and current condition of the Higdon Cabin in the Elkmont Historic District of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The National Park Service will use this report to inform and guide their stewardship of this historic structure. The present study provides historical background and context for Elkmont that isbased primarily on a series of studies and reports developed by the National Park Service between 1993 and 2006. The report is divided into two major segments, Part I: Developmental History and Part II: Treatment & Use. Part I is organized into three sections that address insequence the historical background and context of the locale, a chronology of development and use of the Higdon Cabin specifically, and a physical description of the exterior and interior on a room-by-room basis. This last section also includes an assessment of condition and a listing of character-defining features. Part II evaluates treatment options and concludes with an “ultimate recommended treatment.” A bibliography precedes the Appendix, which contains scaled drawings including an as-found floor plan and selected architectural details.
