Four Row Homes in Mt. Holly Springs

This row is unusual for the town – four attached homes. They probably don't date beyond the 1920's and they have been well kept. Note the ground walkway between the first and second (with a blue door) and the third and fourth homes. This also is unusual in the town because this is one of a very few places where more than a couple homes are abutted. The roofs are still the original metal. These may have been built at one time by one business person, quite likely as "company housing" which was not unusual in this area in the 1920's. There are other examples of it in the area, some of which are featured in this collection.
