    Re: Abandoned houses and buildings.


    This is the historic Joel McClendon Cabin in Moore County, NC. Built in 1760. There was a mill on the creek that still runs trough this property. The creek is named for him. Perpetually maintained as a period residence, fully furnished and functional. Joel McLendon was among the first settlers in northern Moore County. Imagine, over a century before the Civil War and there was a family living their lives out in this tiny hand hewn cabin in the wilds of His Majesties New World. Old enough to have seen candles and soap being made in its yard. This cabin has a real floor so it was much nicer than the typical cabin from its era in this area(there are several). Native Indians still lived in villages nearby. Can you even wrap your brain around what life must have been like in the 18th century? You could easily live your whole life and never taste an orange. George and Martha Washington were still newlyweds in 1760...
    Looks like someone has built a set of new steps for it, wonder how many times theyve been replaced.


    This is the (James)Bryant House. It is on the same property as the above cabin. Built in 1820 and is also perpetually maintained on the NC Historic Registry. They are deserted 99% of the year. The Civil War is still 4 decades away and a dollar is a princely sum. Youd make your clothes, have to tighten the ropes on your bed twice a year, cut your own wood while its still summer so you dont freeze all winter. Washing your clothes in the creek is a twice weekly chore...no electricity, running water, plastic anything or grocery stores. Maine was the newest of 23 stars on our flag in 1820.


    This is all thats left of an old homestead near Harris Crossroads in NC. Local quartz stone chimney and hearth still standing most likely built in the 19th century given the area and history. Very solid and well built and might remain this way another hundred years if left unmolested. Several ruins are located on this property. Remains and evidence of more than a century of lives lived and lost for generations. The property is now a turkey farm and is closed to visitors and the curious which is why I couldnt get closer.

    Re: Abandoned houses and buildings.

    Does anyone know the history of this house? I also heard that one of the first owners of what is now Bald Head Island owned the home.
