I along with my Mother, my brother Harold, Howard Gregory, and
wife Linda and their son, Micheal and daughter, Kimberly visited
this home June 1, 1996 and found the graves and the old home
falling apart. We were fascinated with the massive twin chim
neys. Above the second floor of one chimney, 1801, was imprinted
in the beautiful old hand made brick. That was the year Elijah
and Nancy Gregory were married.
The basement had a ground level door at one end of the house
which we entered. There was a fireplace on either end of the
basement with a brick f loor and several large basement windows.
This had originally been used as the kitchen and dining area. On
the main floor were two large rooms with a large fireplace at the
end of each room. There was an unusual design feature of the
house, in that, each upstairs bedroom had its own circular stair
case from the room below and there was no door between these two
upstairs rooms and a fireplace in only one upstairs room.
There had been a f ront porch and there was a back porch leading
to a pantry, a kitchen had been added to the first floor and was
built on a rock foundation of about 18 inches thick. We all felt
very sad that our heritage is slowly being lost.
