Seabolt / Harris

John Seabolt, a local businessman, manufactured building and decorative red brick, and this Historic Greek Revival style home reflected both the fine quality of his materials and the construction techniques used in its three-brick-thick walls, which help explain its excellent condition more than 170 years later. The house, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has a stately presence with its two-story pediment over substantial columns and has been carefully preserved with six fireplaces, original windows, lighting fixtures, accents, and hardware, along with gardens, brick walkways, and a Koi pond. Known for its historical significance to the town, it served as a hospital during the Civil War and is also associated with local folklore involving an unmarked gravesite and stories of buried treasure. In 1866 the home was sold to Temple Harris, remained in the Harris family until 1955, and was also associated with Nina Harris, who lived there from 1916 until her death in 1955.
