Cedar Falls Post Office

I’ve photographed the old post office at Cedar Falls, North Carolina many times over the years. Local folks have worked on restoring the building that was once the office for the Cedar Falls Manufacturing Company since the last time I shot it.
Daisies bloom in front of the building on a Saturday morning.

House in the Horseshoe

(photograph copyright 2011 by Dan Routh)
Still life from the Alston House near Sanford, North Carolina. Also known as the House in the Horseshoe, because it sits in a horseshoe bend of Deep River, the house was the scene of a Revolutionary War skirmish between patriots under Col. Phillip Alston and Tory troops under David Fanning in July 1781. The house still has bullet holes on the front porch from the battle.
