Over 2,000 square feet, when this
house is ready to sell, it will
contain 3 bedrooms (one could be
an office), a living room, dining
room, eat-in kitchen, 2 baths, and
a small laundry room.
There is a large unfinished attic
with permanent stairs which could
easily be turned into an office,
playroom or additional guest room.
It will have central heating and air
conditioning. And it will have
antique railings and banisters for
the front porch and steps which
were recovered from a house of
the same era.

Mitchelltown Restoration Project: Phase I
The Society was recently award a very small grant from
the City of Kinston and with this money, we saved the
endangered Weyher historic home and relocated it to a
vacant lot in Mitchelltown.
Once this house is renovated and sold, the receipts
from the sale will be used to buy another boarded up
historic home, renovate it and put it on the national real
estate market.
The next one won't have to be moved which will save a
lot of money and time. This will be Phase II and on it will
go until we have all the boarded up homes in
Mitchelltown restored and lived in once again.
This is our main focus at present.
