Abstract:

John McElwrath built the brick house on his Iredell County cotton plantation in 1753, and it is one of the oldest residences still standing in North Carolina. McElwrath died in 1785. Tomlin traces the ownership down to the present owners, Susan and Meredith Hall, who live on the plantation as they restore it. The Halls purchased the property thirty-six years ago and renamed it Darshana Hall Plantation. In 1973, the property was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
