Stewart-Hawley-Malloy Home

When John Stewart built his farmhouse in rural North Carolina, America was still new.  A Founding Father was in the White House, and the United States stopped at the Mississippi River.  When Stewart picked up a newspaper, he was reading about Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Lewis and Clark.  He wouldn’t have seen pictures of them, though.  Photographs were still decades away, as were incandescent lights, telephones, telegraphs, railroads, and indoor plumbing. 

The men who built Stewart’s house used hand tools and flat nails, wood harvested from local pine trees, and hand-blown glass in the windows.  When they built that house, however, they built it to last—through the Civil War, Reconstruction, the Depression, all told, some 200 years of American history.  Today, the Stewart-Hawley-Malloy Home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  The oldest house in Scotland County, North Carolina, it is featured in A Guide to the Historical Architecture of Eastern North Carolina and is a marked stop on the Civil War Trail. 

Thanks to an extensive renovation project, it also is a family residence with modern conveniences, including a new patio, a new bathroom, and a new, state-of-the-art kitchen.  The 2,800-square-foot house sits on five acres featuring scores of pecan, black walnut, oak and pine trees, a shed, a large barn, a wooded walking trail, and a new, secluded playground.
