History:
Tinsmith/Carpenter Harvey Dewey Carrier came to Rutherfordton, North Carolina in 1822, seeking a better climate for his asthma. Two of the five homes he is known to have built are side by side on Main Street. His residence, now registered as the Carrier-McBrayer house, was built around 1835. In 1879, Carrier built a home for his youngest child, Margaret, as a wedding gift for her marriage to Kinchen J. Carpenter. This is now registered as the Carrier-Ward house. These National Register homes have been refurbished in the likeness of the original houses that were built by Mr. Carrier. The Carrier-McBrayer house has three guest bedrooms and is the residence of the proprietors, Dan and Lynn Hegeman. The Carrier-Ward house contains five guest bedrooms and is also available for meetings, receptions, anniversaries, reunions, and other formal gatherings. The Great Room can accommodate up to 30 seated guests and catering can be arranged.
