    The bed was there last time i was there. I drove up there from Richmond back in 1980s. Had my 35mm SLR camera. The park guide let me stay in that room after everyone else had left. I tried to take photos. I had been shooting photos all morning. But inside that room, the shutter button refused to work. I felt something mean in that room, so I hauled butt outside. Lol. Walked around a bit and suddenly my camera started working! Everyone should visit that spooky place.

    It's 2-story because of the gallery, aka balcony. I'm guessing it's on 3 sides. From what I've heard, the cemetery or burial ground that surrounds or is behind the church is called the churchyard. But other terms are used as well. I'm in South Jersey, and we have a few old Colonial churches, ranging from a Presbyterian church of 1767 to a Baptist church of 1801, all with great architecture. But I've never seen a church in the Greek cross shape like that. That's very interesting.

    📚 A Sociologist and Historian, here's some additional points of interest + your mention of: "the Tribal Lineage of the area" + some the related tribes adapted specific group names: 🔺The great Iroquois Algonquin, Siouan Tribes were in Virginia when Colonists arrived. The Cherokee were just South of there, but Cherokee are of the Iroquois, they migrated South early and were the greater % in this Region from the East Coast to the Appalachian Mountains and beyond into Tennessee and North Georgia. 📚 🚦 Note: the Print, Exterior Wall Hanging "Fleur-de-lis" ⚜️ ⚜️ This symbol has deep History. ✨⚜️✨ @ 31:09 🔺(the original Owner that had this home built, opposite side, his wife.) 🔑 "Field Stone Markers" most old cemeteries, particularly the Enslaved and the Back Country or Mountain Folk used these markers. They need to Mow the property. Enjoyed !

    My grandmother lived at 113 Caroline. You probably didn't find much information on it, but it was used as a first aid station during the Civil War. I grew up across the street at 110 Caroline. Growing up and talking to the older neighbors, I got a lot of interesting stories from that end of the street.
