I Heart Old Buildings

Edgecombe Community College is offering an amazing Continuing Education program for Historic Preservation, and they’ll be offering degree programs starting in the fall.  I took the Decorative Arts class last month, and start the Window Restoration class next Saturday.  That will be lots of fun, as we get some hands-on learning.  But first, some photos from our class trips to the Blount-Bridgers House in Tarboro (where we had our wedding reception), Hope Plantation’s buildings, and Historic Halifax.  I would DIE for built-ins like this. 
The King-Basemore house...so neat!  And moved to it's location by a local farmer, only dislocating two bricks in the process. 
I don't mind sewing, but I'm glad I don't have to make my own thread. 
I have a fascination with old locks.  They hold secrets.  
*Notice the humongous mortar & pestle and ginormous bread bowl in the above photo.
