Abstract:
Duke Power Company's new dam on the Catawba River will form the much anticipated Lake Norman. In an effort to save some of the heritage that will be lost, efforts were focused on moving one of the great houses of the antebellum period, the Elmwood house. Inhabited by the Graham family, members of the river gentry, the Elmwood House, now in the care of Mr. And Mrs. Charles Babcock, will be relocated to the Winston-Salem area.
