This sheet is one of 19 unbound pages in the Charles S. Grossman collection. An architect by trade, Charles S. Grossman (1900-1972) worked with the Civilian Conservation Corps, but spent most of his time on historic preservation in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Grossman, together with Hiram Wilburn who played a similar role on the North Carolina side of the park, produced the park’s first document on cultural resource management. In the 1930s, Grossman began an inventory of existing structures in the park, perhaps, one of the first systematic surveys of vernacular architecture in the U.S. He catalogued more than 1,500 structures. While Grossman left the park in 1943, he continued to advance historic preservation into the 1950s. Edouard E. Exline (1905-1960) was a photographer who sometimes accompanied Grossman in his work.
