9. Propst House

HICKORY.   This charming home, built in 1883, was constructed in the fashionable Second Empire style. Its square, central tower and mansard roof makes it easily identifiable, along with a distinctive color scheme. Moved from its original site and restored, the delightful home features a wealth of elaborate carving inside, courtesy of homeowner J. Summie Propst, a local woodworker. Among the home's unique characteristics are features created to accommodate Propst's wife, a woman of diminutive stature.   (© 10Best)
