Abstract:

K?rner’s Folly, dubbed “The Strangest House in the World,” has long amused visitors who gape at its fanciful Victorian rooms, furniture, and private theater. Built in 1880, the house was the showplace of Jule Gilmer K?rner, a talented furniture and interior designer in Kernersville, North Carolina. Starting next month, the historic home hosts a year-long set of activities to celebrate its 125th anniversary.

Abstract:

All Saints Chapel, built in the late 1890s and constructed in the Carpenter Gothic Style, was larger than its exterior suggested. As for other aspects of its appearance, longtime residents recall the exterior as painted white, but research by the author asserted otherwise. In fact, the recent repainting has returned the church to its original color, as well as the color scheme popular during the period in which the church was built.
