This completely restored 1830's Raised Cottage is a survivor of the Civil War. Several of the prominent citizens of the town have roots with the house including the Dantzler, Fairey, and Crutchfield families. Restoration was carefully done keeping the original features of the house intact. Characteristics of the house are exquisite moldings, plastered walls, refinished heart pine floors, 7 fireplaces of which 2 have gas logs and 13ft. and 14ft tongue and groove ceilings. Beautiful custom made ceiling height cabinets were added to the kitchen and den. Major improvements include the addition of insulation, updating plumbing and wiring, installing 3 heat pumps and resealing the metal roof. All rooms enter from a long and wide center hall which extends from the front porch to the back screen porch. The formal living room is on the right and the formal dining room is on the left with a door leading to the kitchen which has top of the line appliances.
