Description
SOLD to collector(s) in:
North Carolina
This is the Brinegar Cabin at Doughton Park, NC located at MP 240 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, It was built about 1880, and is a one-story log house covered with lapped siding and resting on an uncoursed fieldstone foundation. Also on the property is a contributing frame outbuilding. In 1876 Martin Brinegar purchased this 125-acre farm from Henderson Crouse, Caroline Joines’ uncle, for $200. Two years later, at age 21, Martin Brinegar married Caroline, who was 16. They lived on this farm for nearly 60 years. The property consists of a cabin, a shed, and a springhouse, which is where perishable goods were stored. Descendants of their three children Renee, Alice and John often come to this site to visit their home place.
