2. Marker in High Point
The Haley House is the earliest surviving documented structure on its original foundation in Guilford County, and it is significant as an example of early Piedmont architecture, a style known as the Quaker Plan. John Haley and his wife Phebe Wall Haley completed the house in 1786 a stone medallion in the west gable indicates the year of completion and the Haleys initials. The house stood on the important Petersburg (Virginia)-Salisbury (North Carolina) Road and was one of roughly 20 landmarks noted in Guilford County on the earliest official survey map of North Carolina.(Submitted on January 16, 2023, by Michael Buckner of Durham, North Carolina.)
