The first time I visited this spot was in 2008 and it looks a lot better now. I'm not sure how they picked the exact spot, but it was convenient that an important highway ran right next to it. When this was originally built it was in the middle of nowhere but the area around it is fully developed now. It is located along Old Lascassas Pike as the newer highway TN96 runs parallel to this street
In 2008, the metal marker was stolen, but was replaced a year or two later. Landscaping has also improved around the area.

The David A. Barnes House in Murfreesboro, North Carolina, is a remarkable dwelling designed by master builder Jacob W. Holt in 1875. In addition to the two-story, center-passage, doublepile house, constructed using Holt's signature version of ltalianate style, the property retains a contemporary privy, kitchen house, and two other outbuildings designed by Holt. The house is exemplary ofthe late work of Holt, who developed a distinctive idiomatic style during the late antebellum years in Warrenton, North Carolina, and revived his career following the American Civil War in Chase City, Virginia. The Barnes House is the apogee of the second, postwar phase of Holt's career and the largest and most exuberantly finished dwelling remaining from the final years of Holt's work in North Carolina. Typical ofHolt's work, the Barnes House retains a traditional rectangular house form while boasting a vigorous application of pattern book-derived picturesque ornamentation recognizable as Holt's idiom.

Downtown Murfreesboro from the air. I had a last minute request from a client for a set of aerials of downtown Murfreesboro. My thanks to Ben over at Murfreesboro Aviation for taking me up on such VERY short notice! Ben, you my friend, are awesome!
Diamond John's Riverside Retreat at the Crater of Diamonds in Murfreesboro, AR. This place had so much possibility, but in all honesty, it was kind of a dump. The bathrooms were unclean to the point of being a health hazard, and so much of the decking and outdoor furniture was in disrepair that it was dangerous. Of course, we spent the majority of our time outside and had a blast despite my disappointment with the site.
