This quaint farmhouse built in 1911 by the Ponder Family and donated to the college in 2002, sits on the site of the future Ferguson Science and Math Center, and must be moved by March 2006. It has metal roof, chestnut joists, two fireplaces, central stairway, and all beadboard walls and ceilings. All building systems are original and will need updating. Unless it can be moved to nearby location, it will have to be cut into pieces. House movers have estimated costs to move it locally at $35,000. Please email blovins@mhc.edu or call 828-689-1246 for more information and contact information for serious inquiries.

The house looks very quaint and pleasing. What will happen if no one wants it?
The college says they will “chop it to pieces”
As of 11/19…is this avail?
Is the house on its original location or has it been moved before?
