- view from Harden Street - the aluminum (siding) has been removed - guess the metal 'clips' were part of holding it against the bricks - bottom of photo ---- those don't seem original -- almost like a 'stone facade' - have found no info about it at some point the old brick was covered with this fake covering; it has had to be removed to reveal historic architecture beneath to qualify for Historic Status ..i.e. Tax Credits to re-furbish the structure - seeing history unwrapped before your eyes - magnificent ! - thank you to those who have invested time/money/labor - to re-purpose this building [ built in the 1800s ] - it has been empty for a very long time 2013 © All Rights Reserved

.. the old bricks show intricate details .. some though, will probably not be able to be re-used .. but, the fact that this old mill is being re-stored .. re-purposed .. that says a lot about the people here .. original contractor - William Carter Bain (1839-1920) - built numerous industrial buildings as well as home in North Carolina ncarchitects.lib.ncsu.edu/people/P000247 2013 © All Rights Reserved

re-purposed into a branch Bank of America .. this poor bench sits on the side of The Williamson House ... definitely needs more than a bandaid or a coat of paint .. sigh .. this home was built by E.M. Holt for his daughter, Mary Elizabeth Holt .. who married James Williamson .. a 'sister house' is just down the street .. (c) PeggyC `13
