The Homeplace

Four buildings,

The McArthur Homeplace is a 160-acre site at the south fork, with a Folk Victorian main house, a neighboring pyramidal-roof cottage, three log outbuildings, and a small family cemetery on the Pine Knoll. Each was built by hand, of materials drawn from the land it stands on.

The Main House

Acquired by W.T. McArthur in approximately 1893 as a 350-square-foot four-square cottage, the Main House was expanded over the next seven years into the central-hall home that stands today — preserved largely unchanged for three-quarters of a century and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
