S side SR 1004 aPpx.2000 ft.W of jct w/SR 2000 Carr Store Road <br /> 1357 <br /> DESCRIPTION <br /> The earliest portion of this house is the oldest surviving structure in the Cedar Grove community. This one-story timber-frame section was <br /> constructed in the early 1800s and consisted of a kitchen room and two other rooms. The south-facing house fronted the stagecoach route from <br /> Cedar Grove to Greensboro(Carter and Peck 1993). A stone chimney with brick stack is located on the west end of the house. A two-story, <br /> two-bay-deep east-facing house was erected adjoining the east side of the one-story structure ca. 1892 by a local builder,John Finley. <br /> Intersecting this addition is a two-story I-house that extends from the front or east side forming an L-plan.The I-house appears to be <br /> contemporary with the addition or built shortly thereafter. The I-house has two brick exterior end-chimneys,a brick exterior rear chimney,and <br /> 2/2 double-hung windows. The two structures are sheathed in weatherboard siding,rest on a stone foundation,and are covered in a v-crimp <br /> metal roof. The house was originally the centerpiece of a farmstead and has several outbuildings associated with it.These include three sheds, <br /> a corn crib,a barn,two log tobacco barns,and a tenant house. The log tobacco barns and the tenant house are located across Can-Store Road to <br /> the northwest of the main house. At the west end of the side-gabled tenant house is a large stone chimney. The occupants of the early 18009 <br /> house are not known;however, the first occupant of the 2-story addition was John Paisley Hughes. He moved into the house upon his marriage <br /> to Lena McDade in 1892(Orange County Marriages 1752-1911). <br /> Ola Wood shed C bldg.
