Abstract:
Pinehurst has an equine tradition as well as a golfing one. Northerners who started visiting the village in 1910 also brought their horses. From that practice developed a race rack, stables, grandstand, and in 1917, a county fair. The Amphidrone, an 8,400-square-foot structure, was built for exhibitions. A tornado damaged it in 1932, and the building was later converted into a stable. In 1995, restoration began on the building, which is the state's oldest fair exhibition hall.

Abstract:
The Fair Barn, formerly known as a site for equestrian events and exhibition hall for livestock, has more recently been given new purposes. Since the 1970s, this building, cited as the oldest surviving early 20th century exhibition hall in North Carolina, has become a popular site for community events such as weddings and concerts.
