The Hall Cabin, also known as the J. H. Kress Cabin is a historic log cabin in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, about 15 miles (24 km) from Fontana, North Carolina. The cabin is a rectangular split-log structure 24 feet (7.3 m) wide and 17 feet (5.2 m) deep, with a porch spanning its front. The gable ends of the roof are sheathed in board-and-batten siding. It was built by a man named Hall in 1910, and underwent some remodeling around 1940 when J. H. Kress used it as a hunting lodge. It is located in the drainage of Hazel Creek, an area which historically had a small population and was abandoned after the construction of Fontana Lake and the national park. It is the only structure remaining in its immediate vicinity.[2]
The cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
