leader of the community who lived
from 1740 to 1802. It is one of the
few remaining homes known to
have been built by an immigrant
Scot.
Col. Archibald McEachern
(1788-1873) bought the property
from Gilchrist's heirs early in the
19th century and made extensive
additions to the original building.
Mrs. W. Richard Bullock of Red
Springs, widow of McEachern's
great-grandson, executed the lease
of 50 years to Mill Prong Preserva
tion. which is a nonprofit corpora
tion chartered in 1978.
