Tickets are available at Kings Mountain businesses in- cluding First Charter, Frady’s Florist, Ashley’s Antiques, Dellinger’s Jewel Shop, Christmas Emporium, Harris- Teeter, Hallie Connor at the Kings Mountain District Schools office, and all homes on * the tour. Out of town locations for tickets include Emily's on the Square and The Emporium in Shelby, and Fords Nursery in Gastonia. “We have already sold more tickets than ever before,” said Margaret Pearson, co-chair of the Historic Tour Committee. “What makes it nice is that all the money from sales will stay right here in Kings Mountain for historic preservation.” The Tour will include five residences, the old Post Office Building which houses the new Kings Mountain Historic Museum, and the Mauney House at 104 N. Battleground Avenue which is currently un- dergoing restoration. All struc- tures on the Tour are located in or near the Central School District. Convenient parking sites for Tour patrons are Central United Methodist Church, Baker’s Dental office, the Woman's Club lot, or the side lot at Central School. Homes on the tour reflect a bygone era of elegance and charm. The first home is located at 510 N. Piedmont and is cur- rently owned by Cindy and Mike Brown. A 19th century colonial, the home was original- ly built by the C.E. Neisler fami- ly. The home is available for wedding receptions and other events rather than a residence. Situated at 110 N. Gaston Street, the second home on the Tour dates to 1937 and is built in the Georgian style. It was originally the home of Kathrine ALAN HODGE/THE HERALD Pat Still (left) and Shirley Brutko display the quilt they hand made for the new Kings Mountain History Museum.

Dicey Moss and Paul Mauney Neisler, Jr. Current owners are Bill and Melissa Lawrence. Features of this home include columns with Greek Angular lonic capitals, German crystal chandeliers, and an elevated rear balcony. Next stop on the Tour is 105 E. Ridge Street and the Central School building. Presently used as the administrative offices of the Kings Mountain District Schools, the structure was built in 1933 and housed students for over six decades before classes ended in 1994. Tour patrons will be able to get the complete his- + tory of the school, including when its roots were established in 1876 by Confederate Captain, WTR. Bell!” The Home of Miia ahd Roy Hulffstetler, Jr., stop number four on the Tour is located at 202 N. Piedmont Avenue. Beginning as a 1,00 square foot house in the late 19th century, the house has been expanded to its current 5,000 square feet. Decorated in an eclectic blend of old and new, the home has recently seen a complete kitchen remodeling job. Commanding the corner of Kings Street and Piedmont Avenue, Dr. and Mrs. D. Beutel’s house at 100 N. Piedmont Avenue was built in 1874 by railroad man and en- trepreneur LW. Garrett. After being bought from Garrett, the Dilling family occupied the home for 90 years.

Restoration is under the super- vision of Mrs. Charles A. Neisler. The last stop on the May Historic Homes Tour is one of the best. Located at 104 E. Mountain Street, the former Post Office Building is a red brick and granite edifice that dates from 1939. Now config- ured as the Kings Mountain Historic Museum, the old P.O. will be welcoming visitors May 6 with a special craft show and _ sale. A percentage of craft sale money will go towards historic preservation. One of the most significant items on display at the museum will be a magnificent quilt co- designed and constructed by ar- tisan Pat Still and Shirley Brutko. Entitled “Kings Mountain, Her Many Moods,” the hand made quilt features 12 scenes of the Kings Mountain ridge at different times of the year. Ranging from winter’s snowy landscape to the bright green of spring and summer, the quilt’s use of material and exquisite stitching will make it a showpiece. In addition, each .corner of the quilt has hand worked embroidery depicting the gazebo in downtown Kings Mountain, the railway through town, a cotton field, and the year 1874. Kicking off the May 6 Tour of Homes will be a special Patron party on Friday evening May 5. For a donation of $50 or more, patrons will receive two tour tickets and an invitation to the affair. Other recognition will be provided for individuals or their businesses, and donations are 100 per cent tax deductible.
