There are two pictures of Frederick's Hoke's home and one picture of the Rock Barn on pages 342 & 343 in "The HOKE Book" by Jean A. Berlekamp and Hope L. McConnell. These pictures were made by Margaret Dellinger in June 1979. The book was published in 1980. This same house is pictured on page 158 of "CATAWBA COUNTY - an architectural history" published by the Catawba County Historical Association in 1991. This article states that the house was probably built by Daniel Roseman after the Civil War. The article on page 157 has a good description of the Rock Barn but no picture. It was probably built about 1822. The David R. Hoke and Pierce P. Hoke property (about 51 acres) was sold to W.R. Fry in 1924 and is now part of Rock Barn Golf Course. It was probably part of the original plantation.
