The site of the original house that was begun on the plantation site. This covered impliment storage buildng is believed to be the site of the original house on the property. Excavations by HABS reveal foundations that predate anything on the site. In 1946 the carriage house with its low ceiling was enlarged to provide a place for low profile farm implement and maintenance equipment. What one sees is what remains of thenatural  crown of the hill of large trees and tall pines. It now is a place which one can view both the surrounding countryside. One can only imagine the northern troops traveling here and robbing the site of all resources which was quite common in the valley toward the end of the Civil War .  It may also be a point where an army could see movement of heir opponents and friends alike.
