Currituck Co., N.C. Houses

 

Old Charlie Bell Home

Located on a back road at Snowden, on the west.  Presently owned by Thomas Gregory heirs.  The siding under the porch roof in tongued and grooved and the remainder of the house, including the shed part, is done in English siding, very well preserved.  Note the nine paned lower sashes, and that the small windows near the chimney, only two panes wide, still have the three down length for upper sash.  Also note the two front doors.  It appears to be as it was originally built, complete with Bible-and cross doors.

UPDATE:  This house is no longer standing. Materials were taken from this home between 1976 and 1980 for use on the James Bell house in its new location.
