You truly never know what to expect on an older home. This home was lovely and had many interesting things. This was the most unique item i have seen on a home. This Home was in Tarboro NC. Thinking they had a part of history built into their patio was really nice. I made sure to tell the soon to be homeowner as well. I did see a handrail and blasters in a grand 1960's Hickory NC home that was taken out of an original J.P Morgan building in NYC and repurposed. I love history and it wouldn't be a home if the generations of families didn't make them their own.
