This week, the Historic Salisbury Foundation will continue to focus on the scraping and painting of the front porch railing at 1600 N. Main Street. Doug Black/HSF and team will be working Monday-Tuesday, but then the HSF volunteers will be out of town for nearly a month!
Anyone interested in continuing the work while they are gone can contact Doug Black for a key and tools. Call HSF at (704) 636-0103 for Doug's contact info.
The Hunter-Mowery House, a handsome working class cottage, was built about 1912 by L.F. Hunter, a Southern Railway machinist, who occupied the home until 1925 when he sold it to J. L. Mowery, a railway blacksmith.
1600 N Main is the best preserved working class Victorian cottage in the district with its high hipped roof with projecting front gable, accentuated with a colonial lunete, its asymmetrical stuccoed facade with recessed side entrance, and a handsome porch with turned posts and an interesting sawn dentil gallery.
HSF is also always happy to welcome volunteers to help on the Depot windows, doors and lamp post paint job over the summer months. Pitch in, if U can . . . every hour counts!
