This cabin on Mount LeConte accommodates 16 people, “in comfortable and clean beds – beds with springs, mattresses, and clean sheets.” Four smaller cabins, to accommodate 6 people each, are being built nearby with sawed lumber to conserve trees on the mountain. The photographer, Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), was a founding member of the Smoky Mountain Hiking Club (est. 1924) and a charter member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association (est. 1923). Campbell was an avid hiker and often assisted Jim Thompson with his camera equipment. When Campbell won a folding camera in 1935, he began his own photography journey, taking thousands of photographs and jotting down information about each one in small notebooks. His granddaughter, Rebecca Campbell Arrants, donated this collection of photographs and notebooks from 1934 - 1940 to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
