The house, built c. 1881, is a one-story, gable-front-and-wing, frame vernacular building resting on brick piers. With a clapboard exterior, it has an irregular layout with two ell extensions on either side and a high-pitched tin roof pierced by two brick chimneys. the house is the oldest residence in the community, and its owners were from the earliest settler families of the area. The Averitts played an instrumental role in the founding of Indian Springs Baptist Church, providing the land for the second church building.

It was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 1996.

gollark: I made this nuclear reactor. It doesn't fit in the screenshot, as it's too large by quite a lot. Also, it's maybe tileable. Entirely unnecessary as we have about 1.7GW of solar, but still.
gollark: It has incited *minor* biter wrath, which was fixable with artillery, which incited less minor biter wrath.
gollark: I built a device which automatically blueprints roboports, thus automatically-ish expanding the range of my stuff.
gollark: Don't think so.
gollark: Maybe more entities? Chunks should only be in RAM if they've actually been loaded recently.
