Abstract:

The Hyde County house built in 1857 continues to draw attention for reasons that go beyond its unique architectural design. Thus far, two restoration phases are complete: a matching grant from the Covington Foundation yielded a repaired roof; phase two involved raising the house to make room for brick piers. As for phase three, fundraising and expert advice from the State Preservation Office is part of the plan for repairs on outside surfaces and the first floor fireplaces.
