Hi All, I just got back from my Honeymoon in which my wife and I went to Dollywood and other places in the area of the beautiful state of Tennessee. I will be posting them as I get them, we took quite a few pictures on the trip and many of them were fans. It was my first time going to Dollywood.. The place is loaded with many fans! Some vintage and some newer. Probably at least 300 Fasco's throughout the place they had several stadium/show buildings with tons! One of which had 40 and only one was replaced by an Emerson Sea Breeze which seemed to be the common replacement as they expanded in either 2009 or 2010. Will start off here with this that was in a candy shop: Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

These outdoor fans (wasn't sure what they are Emersons?) were on the front porch of a ticket office. About 8 or 9 of them. Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedThese Fasco's were in the entry way to where a show that takes place in the summer. About 30-40 I lost count counting in the dark but only one has been replaced which is awesome! Wish I could have gotten more pictures, there may be more on the camera when I get them on here.

the Northwinds with the 5L kits remind me of 90s-era Bob Evans restaurants... they all had 5B Charlestons (3rd-Gen) or Northwinds in AB with 5L kits. That Charleston/Porch Fan install is EPIC!!!

Yep, those are emerson Summer Nights The 56" variant of the summer night, you mean, produced in the early-mid 90s I believe. Normal versions had 42" or 52" spans with 5 blades and normal builderfan-ish brackets.

Whats terrible is we got back Sunday evening and knew that there was wildfires in the area but they weren't in that direct vacinity then I find out this morning: www.cnn.com/2016/11/29/us/gatlinburg-fires/index.html So all of these fans are in danger! Keep the people in this area in your thoughts and prayers! Will be posting more shortly!

The first one is the bronze Builder fan that was in our resorts bedroom. Their were a minimum of two of these per room. The living room one had a much more decorative bowl light kit while this one had your run of the mill bowl light kit from Lowes for example. I'm lead to believe that they are Craftmades as every single balcony had a Craftmade CXL Outdoor variant. I counted 56 on the one building. The place was full of fans. (More pictures should come later) Attachment DeletedThe next two were from a VERY GOOD restaurant called The Old Mill which was a restored mill. Unfortunately despite the craftsmanship within the Old Mill, they had Bronze Hampton Bay Farmingtons in there which left me disappointed. The gift shop next door however had five Emersons all in good condition and the blades were dusty showing there use! Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

The next set goes back to Dollywood in the viewing area of a glassblowing shop. They had five fans. One Fasco, Two Emersons, one of whatever type of outdoor builder fan there is and one Nutone... This was the only Nutone I found in the whole place which was odd. I'm assuming time took its toll on the Fascos in this area and lead to the Fasco replacement then the rest at another time. Later on before sunset the Nutone, Fasco, and Emerson were all one. The Nutone ran great on high, the Fasco was on low and the Emerson was from what I could assume Medium unless they run that slow on high! Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

This fan was on the wall of a building that you would wait in for one of the rides: Attachment DeletedThe next two here are Harbor Breeze Classics/Builders Best or whatever they are currently called. The pictures don't show much but with the lighting within this gift shop... They looked great with the color blend as they were on. Of course they were on so the fake wood on the MDF blades would probably have made me cringe if they were off but on it was a nice color scheme. Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

Continuing on at Dollywood... I honestly forget where this Fasco was, I want to say over a bathroom entrance. Those people really care about keeping you cool, one of the newer bathrooms had outdoor Craftmades, whatever the ones at all the Cracker Barrels are following you into the bathroom even in a small alcove they put one! Attachment DeletedThis was inside an office that I snapped a picture through the glass: Attachment DeletedThese were three Fasco's and one other fan I believe (Camera has clearer and more specific pictures when I get them uploaded). They had some sort of funky light fixture on all of them. Attachment Deleted

These were all from an antique church in Dollywood, I believe it was moved there. Anyway they initially had a bunch of GE Vent fans in Antique Brass which looked awesome! Not sure specifically what they are. However two closest to the back of the church were replaced. As much as that upset me and pissed me off, the one cheap builder Emerson that they put in there made sense because it looked like when they expanded they had Emersons replace anything that needed to be replaced. But then they put one of those unknown outdoor fans (someone help me out with what they are!) in the church.. This angered me because its not brass and they should keep the brass theme going in my opinion. Clearer and more specific pictures to come! Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

This is one of the several GE Vents that remain in the church Attachment DeletedThe next was in a shop at The Old Mill. This was a womens clothing store. The SMC's there were three of HUNG LOW! I'm 5'9 and the blades were a foot at best above my head. Attachment DeletedIn the right room of the store there were two Emperors (I think the camera has pictures of) and this Palm Air?

At a restaurant called Mama's Farmhouse (AWESOME MEATLOAF!) They had a bunch of fans... Actually a bunch I had no idea what they were. (I believe some variant of Emersons) Here are some of the pictures: A Fanimation belt driven thing: Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAn outdoor fan on the porch: Attachment Deleted
