Building: Thomas, Asa House (Milton, Caswell County, North Carolina)

Built:
Community:
Milton
State:
NC
Provenance note:
Asa Thomas (gristmill owner), first owner; Romulus Saunders (congressman and minister to Spain), early nineteenth century owner; John T. Garland (physician), early nineteenth century owner
Architectural note:
The home contains the finest Adamesque interiors in Caswell County, which were installed around 1820. The house features an interior double door with an elliptical fanlight, a detail rare in the state. The exterior has been remodeled, but the interior remains intact.
Historical note:
Saunders purchased Longwood after leaving Fairview, but permanently traded homes with Garland in 1824 so that he could entertain presidential candidate William H. Crawford.
