I drive past this old B&B every day. And now I have an excuse to get pictures of it. My Get Pushed challenge this week is a monochrome shot. So, I thought that would be perfect for this old historic building. It was originally built by a railroad official in the early 1880s and was owned by A.A.F. Seawell Jr., in the 1920s. Seawell went on to become Attorney General and a Supreme Court Justice for the state of North Carolina. More recently, it was a bed and breakfast. It's currently unoccupied and for sale for $149,000.
@mittens Thanks! @zosimasy I think it's probably only 12 or 13 feet wide. It's an I shaped. Very strange house. But, probably the only way to cool a house in NC in the 1880s. @randystreat Practically! LOL! It's surrounded by huge magnolia trees and a big brick fence. Right on the corner, there was a break in the leaves, so I took this. You'd never know it from the pictures, but I'm standing on a narrow sidewalk right at a busy street corner to take this. But, if you are stopped at that stoplight, you can hardly see the house.
