Inscription.
The brick-framed home before you was built at the turn of the Twentieth Century, just a few years before Dr. English boasted Brevard’s first car. The current owners have plans to renovate this house in 2024/2025.

As stewards of history would, we applaud the decision to preserve the classic brickwork, which is so prevalent in Transylvania County’s traditional architecture.

We are all very excited to showcase the project, as we revitalize this 120-year old craftsman style house.
