It's got that aged, faded look for sure. I think its done well but I dont find it compelling. May be the same image with different conversion, toning, but it seems to lean to the right more than I recall.

As a very broad generalization, with old buildings I think you do one of two things. You get up close and photograph an interesting smaller part of the building or you photograph from a distance and show the building in its (hopefully interesting or meaningful) surroundings. When you make a photograph of the entire building but nothing else it's hard to avoid ending up with a photograph that simply documents what the building looks like. I think that's what you have here - a well-made, well-composed documentary photograph. Which is fine if that's what you were trying to do.
As a relative nit - the entire scene looks like it's tilted to the right. You probably could straighten it by cropping a little without hurting the photograph.
I like it. I recall visiting Cades Cove back in the 70's during a kayaking foray to N.C. The name fits the location. I still recall that after driving though the woods there was a clearing which created the same feeling as seeing a ocean cove surrounded by cliffs.
Your rendering looks very much like a circa 30's and 40's B&W prints seen in the old family albums. All that is missing to complete that period look is the black paper album page and white adhesive corner mounts.
