What an intresting well building. It is all built of stone. Where did these stones come from? Perhaps they came from the Catawba River which is about a mile away from this 1935 farm house we want to buy. Perhaps they were just dug up on the old farm that was part of this property at one time. Who built the well house? It would be interesting to do a history research of the property to see who owned it in the 1930's. I think that I will do that one day soon. In the meantime, our plan for this well house is to put in a new floor without covering the old well which might be need some day. The roof needs complete repair and then we were thinking about putting in shelves and using for our food storage room. Things would probably be kept quite cool in there in the warm months of summer and insulated from the cold in the winter. Restoring it for a useful purpose seems to be the right thing to do. Perhaps someone else that would buy the house would just tear it down. We have other ideas for this unique old stone building.
Note: Do you notice the ray of sunshine illuminating the entire structure in the second picture? I like to think of it as God's indication that his light is shining over this place and one day soon it will be ours. Just maybe!
