Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | This is the former home of the Caldwell family, located on Church Street on the Jackson County side of Whittier, North Carolina. Dating back to around 1920, the simple, Craftsman-Style dwelling features two small dormers and a porch that wraps around one side of the building. At various points in its history, it served as a private residence, the home and office of the town doctor, and a small hospital. The house today appears to have been abandoned for quite some time, a sign of the decline and decay of this once prosperous town, and is showing signs of being in the early stages of collapse. Sadly, the town, which was thriving during the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, faced massive economic hardship due to collapse of the local lumber industry during the Great Depression, leading to disincorporation in 1933 and the gradual dissolution of the local business community, which today consists of a few small businesses on the Jackson County side of the river, away from the original location of the business district around the town’s railroad depot on the Swain County side of the river. |
