“Gwydir” (Gwee-Dir) is open for the first time ever and is a delight to see. This warm Southern cottage was built around 1886 by James Barrett Walthall (1833 – 1890) who served as chancery clerk. James Barrett Walthall was the great-grandfather of artist Kate Freeman Clark, who lived across the street. After his death, there is a deed transfer filed in 1892 for the amount of $135.00 to Henry Craft Fort (1853 – 1919) with wife Mary McDowell (1853-1930) (Sherwood Bonner’s sister-in-law). Henry Craft was president of the Bank of Holly Springs. Janet Fort (1891 - 1977), their only daughter, married Harris Gholson. This home remained in the Gholson family until 1995. The home was purchased in 2004 by George and Laurie Gwin, and was named “Gwydir” in honor of their ancestral home in northern Wales. The Gwin family is in the process of a loving restoration. Our 23rd annual “Christmas in Holly Springs” will be held on December 3 and 4. Five beautiful homes and a bonus house will be open plus an antique sale and show in the old I.C. Levy building on the square, with a gala Friday evening, December 2 at 6 p.m., a bazaar in the “Sabbath School” building, Christmas Dinner Theatre at the First Baptist Church Recreational building, a Christmas parade on Saturday night, December 3. An art show and sale will be held in “Herndon,” our bonus house. Tickets are for sale at the Marshall County Historical Museum at 220 East College. Remember to come to Melody Golding’s book signing “Panther Tract” on Nov. 11 at the museum at 1 p.m. |
