- Description:
- From its National Register of Historic Places nomination form prepared by Dr. Elizabeth A. Lyon, consultant, Washington-Wilkes Historic Foundation: the Parker Callaway (1790-1868) homestead, built circa 1817, a plantation-plain style wooden-frame house in which his family lived. The site was formerly a large working cotton plantation with several hundred enslaved African Americans, and owned by the Callaway family from 1785-1977.It is one of three buildings on the property. The other two houses on the property are mentioned along with the Parker Callaway homestead to disambiguate the three buildings on the property. Around 1869, Parker's son Aristides built a large brick Greek Revival plantation house on the family property, known as the Brickhouse, but this 1817 plantation house came first. Another hewn log house was built a generation prior in 1785 by the Callaway's elsewhere in Wilkes County. Known as the "Pioneer Cabin," it was moved to the Callaway plantation house grounds by the City of Washington per request by the donor of the Brickhouse (and Aristides Callaway's heir) Mrs. Hugh Hardin around 1963. Variant names include: Callaway Plantation Residence, Arnold-Callaway Plantation, Parker Callaway homestead, Grey House.
