Notable Architectural Features:
Importance:
This 1936 structure replaced one of the earliest (if not the earliest) homes in Gilead, which burned to the ground in 1935. All that remains of the early structures are the sheds. Because the replacement was both built on the original footprint and styled as a Federal reproduction, it often fools observers.
(HHPC)

Notes:
"The gracious home is a fine example of the center-chimney structure, having a dignified entrance and pediment. The stand of old pine trees add a perfect setting for the house."
