Rhoades House, Wrightsville

This is my favorite house in Wrightsville. It gives me  hope that the Marcus Street neighborhood in which it’s located will someday get much deserved inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.

UPDATE:  A preservationist contacted me recently (November 2017) to let me know this house had been torn down. I passed through Wrightsville soon after and saw it myself, a pile of boards. This is a real loss for Wrightsville.

McWhorter-Outler House, Wrightsville

This Queen Anne cottage is thought to be the oldest house in Wrightsville. My guess is that it likely dates to the late 1880s or early 1890s. Partially destroyed by fire in 2000, it remains in stable condition.

Wrightsville & Tennille Depot, Circa 1887, Wrightsville

This important shortline depot was restored by the community in the mid-1990s, and is now used by the local Chamber of Commerce.

It was updated with a coat of red paint sometime in 2015 or 2016.
