1. Philip and Johanna Hoehns (Hanes) House Marker

Inscription. The 1796 Flemish-bond brick dwelling is a testament to the wealth, status, and sophistication of prominent farmer and distiller Philip and his wife Johanna Hoehns. Though in a rural area, the house was of similar caliber to many buildings in the Moravian congregation town of Salem at a time when rural settlers generally lived in log or frame houses. The Hoehns House is one of the oldest and most architecturally significant dwellings in Clemmons and Forsyth County.

Erected 2016 by Village of Clemmons.
