NewbolcMlVhite And Cupola House Work Moves On By FLYNNSURRATT The distinction of having North Carolina’s oldest standing house may go to • neighboring Perquimans County if an effort to establish it as such is successful. Site excavation and study of- the Newbold-White House has currently given up data indicating occupation back to the early' 18th Century, but records show that the house was once used by the Perquimans County Legislature as early as the late 17th Century. Archaeologist in charge of the project, Alain Outlaw, stated that the top priorities on the dig are finding artifacts that will ydate its construction, and outbuildings and walkways that possibly accompanied the HOUSEiRENT Threo Bedroom Brick Veneer House With Modern Kitchen Fireplace and Two Screened In Porches Located Six Miles From Edenton On Rocky Hock Road Small Vegetable Garden Available PHONE 221-4340 SHOP I.

The estimated date of construction is presently based on the architecture, medieval in nature, and two similar houses in Virginia Beach which date to the late 17th Century. However, no artifacts from this period have been found on the site, so other evidence is. circum stantial. Outlaw reported that the project was slow getting started, but the work is now moving ahead well. A 70-foot radius of land is being pored over for artifacts. A common means of trash disposal in the past consisted of utlizing any available hole around a home. Thus far. Outlaw and his team have not found any trash pit. For that reason, he believes that the Newbold-White House may have been used as a public house. He is still confident, though, of being able to date the house before he winds up at the end of June. The Newbold-House project has been broken down into three phases. The first phase, historical research was completed in June, and following the second phase, archaeological research, restoration will begin. An archaeological architect will begin his work at the first of August. Meanwhile in Edenton. a summer rain uncovered another foundation in front of the Cupola House on the former Goodyear site. A corner brick protruding above ground was spotted by a former archaeologist. Stanley South, who had been visiting the Newbold-White House. Madison Phillips removed the top layer of soil to determine the shape and size of the foundation and reported the find to Stuart Schwartz of the Office of Archives and History. Schwartz came to Edenton on Tuesday of last week to investigate the find. With assistance from Phillips, Davis Waters, Audrey Worrell, and Robert Worrell, soil was removed in about two days. A bottleneck discovered in the foundation by Waters led to three whole bottles and about six brokens ones being found. Among the bottles, Robert Worrell unearthed 16 coins dating from 1735 to 1888. Said Phillips. “If the excitement had been on top, it would have taken about 30 minutes to dig it out.” Schwartz has determined that the foundation was one of a public outhouse, while the first foundation unearthed is now thought to have been a burial FIXTURES Fixtures with a bright personality for foyers, hallways and entrance halls EXTEND A WARM WELCOME I IP fIMI i I lir ■ ; k:1, ft ; f UW J.

While finding the outhouse foundation was interesting, Schwartz said that he is dissapointed in not having found evidence of the Cupola House gardens. Because of the recent find, he has assumed that the gardens were not in use after the middle of the 18th Century. Don't discard used egg shells at home or in camp. Let them dry, then crush and spread them on a clean rock or similar surface, suggests Mrs. Henry Poul of Blair, Wisconsin. You will be surprised how many interesting birds the shells will attract.
