This property is located in the historic district in Hickory, N.C. Close by (some within walking distance), include downtown Hickory, Lenoir-Rhyne University, Patrick Beaver Memorial Library, the Hickory Science Center and the Hickory Museum of Art. Hickory also enjoys its own symphony orchestra.

My Notes:The Shuford-Whitner House. *This is mentioned as having originally been a Queen Anne Victorian here (and screencapped below); but was remodeled in 1909 - hence my date change from the realtor site. Beautifully kept & landscaped. Street View here.
