A BIG SALE OF REAL ESTATE.
i
Old Bynum Proprty in Pittsboro Cut
Into Lots For Saie.
Dr. J. M. Harper, of Casar, a for
flier resident of Pittsboro and who <
now old. By..um homestead [
in front of the court nouse, was iiex e I
j ior the week-end a,.d gave out the in- | <
i xoiinadon char ciiis jk/AopSxcy Vvou.d |
; be sold in a rew weens. From what [
j tills paper can learn me big two- <
story house is to be sold and the lots
cut up in commercial sizes for bus
iness muildings and sold to the high- <
est bidder.
In additional to this property the
old Haughton property on Goldston ;
Avenue, also owned by Dr. Harper, |
will be sold i i lots, as well as the 1
market building on Hillsboro street, ;
occupied by Vaughan & Farrell, and |
ovVed by Dr. Harper. * ' !
The old Bynum mansion is one of X
the landmarks of Chatham county, i
a.xd stands right in the business sec- I
l tion of Pittsboro. From what we learn
oc this old building it must be the
oldest house in the county, having
bee r built in the year 1785. '
The late H. A. Lond'n once said
that the original owner as well as '
the contractor who did the work went .
broke before the building was com
pleted.
The timbers in this old homestead
is in a better state of preservation
today than some newly constructed
houses in Pittsboro.
The chimney on the east end of the
building is one of massive build. It is
nine feet across at the base and to
the shoulders.
A few years ago this * house and
plat of ground was sold by its owner,
Mr. Fred Bynum, to Jas. L. Griffin
and A. H. London, who in turn sold
it to Dr. Harper. It is a valuable
piece of property and in a splendid:
, location for business quarters.
Allen Brothers Real Estate Co., of
Raleigh, we learn, have this property
. in charge and will make an announce
; ment of the date of sale in this pa-
per within the next few weeks.
