tram T to 19 p.m.
Hie following homes will be

Grubb Street which is the

and Stephanie. This house was
' purchased from Mrs. Lenna
Griffin and is for sale.
The house features a bay
window in the living room and
is furnished with antiques and
collectibles in a and country
decor.
The house at 5M Penn
sylvania Avenue was built
. around 1919 by Major and
Loomis Lumber Company and
is now owned by Mrs. Ann
Young. Tony and Val Short,
who have lived in Hertford
since February, 1980, found
that their furnishings and
taste were compatible to the
two story wood frame house
which features unususl
structural ideas.
I
New homes on the tour are
those owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Erwin Perry, Mr. and Mrs.
Alvin Mizell and Mr. Carlton
Boyce.
The Perry's home was
completed in 1979, and like the
Boyce and Skinner homes is
constructed of brick. Located
| near Winfall, the Perry's
returned from Virginia Beach
and built at Mrs. Perry's
homeplace. This home
features spacious rooms,
modern conveniences and
Htn for the han
dicapped since Mr. Perrys' ?
year-old Mother lives vith
them.
Carlton Boyce lived with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. C.
Boyce, natfl he bnUt and
moved into his new home in
1 m. This home is located next
door to his parents in the
Parkville area of the county.
Boyce planned and furnished
his traditional house and is
now enjoying his two bedroom
home with modern convenient
kitchen.
The William Skinner home
has grown from a small four
room cabin to a seven room
brick home. Paneling and
most carpentry work has been
done by Mr. Skinner over the
past sixteen years. Century
Gas System provides
adequate heating and cooling
for the family of seven who
enjoys living at Lowe's Beach
near Mrs. Skinner's relatives.
The Alvin Mizell's log cabin
is a bit different but is among
the increased number of log
homes being built in our
country for the energy ef
ficiency and insulating
properties of solid wood.
The Mizell's built their log
cabin with the idea of using it
for a summer and weekend
home as they vacationed from
their jobs and home in
Newport News. Later, they
decided to move permanently
to Snug Harbor. Jean and
Ahrin, with the help of their
son. Randy, built the log home
themselves. The sUir rail is
even made from a small log
right from the k* which is oa*
of the many unique ideas in
the house.
Along with the Christmas
Ramble, refreshments and
exhibits will be offered at the
Perquimans County Office
Building as a part of an Open
House Tradition started
twenty years ago.
