Cathy, there is a Historic Bryant House, according to a pamplet I received from the Moore County Historical Association. P.O. Box 324, Southern Pines, NC 28388 910-692-2051.... It has a sketch of the house with the following info. BRYANT HOUSE James Bryant acquired the McLendon Place from his father Michael early in the nineteenth century with the McLendon Cabin already in place. Bryant later built the manor house there about 1820. James Bryant's great-granddaughter, Flossie Bryant Davis and her children gave the houses with 3.4 acres to the Moore County Historical Asociation in 1969. Restoration of the structure in the early 1970's included straightening the chimneys and replacement of the shake roof. Special features include two fine mantels, handmade doors and window sash, hand-hewn heart pine girders and sills. Neither dwelling had been altered prior to restoration and both had been continuously occupied until the 1940's. Furnishings for the house were acquired for the Association by Mrs. Ernest Ives, Mrs. John Labouissee and the Davis family. Both the Bryant Manor House and the McLendon Cabin were opened to the public in May 1976. Mrs. Davis, then 91 years old, attended the opening with several of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mrs. Davis was born and grew up in the house and raised her own family of six boys and seven girls there. More info: The Bryant House and the McLendon Cabin are located at Harris Crossroads in upper Moore County. From the traffic circle at Pinehurst, take 15-501 towards Carthage, turn west on NC 73, go to the intersection of Beulah Hill Church Road and take a right. Go straight through two crossroads, the second being Harris Crossroads. The houses are located down a hill on your right at a State highway marker. The houses are open Sundays from 2-5 and by appointment. Call site Manager Max Richardson at 947-3995 for information or to schedule a tour.
