Future Historic House

Waxhaw, NC  2026


Waxhaw is a growing community, some say growing a little too quickly.  This is new development located pretty close to if not actually a part of the Waxhaw Historic District.  Perhaps in a 100 years or so, it might be considered historic.

Door With Curtains

Waxhaw, NC  2026

You don't see curtains very much these days in front door windows.  This is the front door to the Walkup-Gamble house pictured in an earlier post, built in 1897.  You can see the historical register plaque just to the right of the door.
