The Old Fred Hamrick House in Rutherfordton, NC

The old Fred Hamrick house in Rutherfordton, NC. In its day, this was the epitome of a southern mansion. The trees have been removed but it still has the gorgeous view overlooking the Appalachian Mountains. The family patriarch was a successful attorney in town. The daughter was a commercial pilot for Piedmont Airlines (now American). She was one of a few, early female commercial pilots in America; unusual in the late 1970's. The son was a commercial realtor in Charleston.
