Historic House Fabric For Sale: The ca. 1815 Turner Bynum House in eastern North Carolina was poised for a full restoration after being moved to a secluded property in Edgecombe County in 1990. But unfortunately the restoration never took place, and by 2004 the building was close to imploding when Gaston Callum negotiated with the owner to acquire the structure and remove the interior fabric before the house caved-in. Among the three feather-painted doors that were recovered, the upstairs door was illustrated in the nationally renown book North Carolina Architecture published in 1990. If interested in acquiring these early building components for installation or museum purposes, please email your inquiry, or call SHP at (919)616-5832. Numerous photos and video are available with the purchase of the Turner Bynum fabric, along with documentation of its builder and inhabitants.
