Slingshot into the past ...

The following pictures were scanned from negatives of photographs taken by Larry London in the early 60s of various houses and farmhouses in the Chatham County-Durham County-Orange County area. He was kind enough to entrust them to me, and I now present them to you as part of Virtual North Carolina.

As Larry writes:

"The Munsters' lair is (was) an incredible, very well built, authentic Victorian mansion in Pittsboro NC, built by the Launis (sp.?) family way back when. It was in the way of progress and bulldozed to make way for a Piggly Wiggly supermarket in the late 60's or early 70's. Shame it wasn't restored to its full glory."

The pictures really speak for themselves. The smaller pictures are linked to their larger counterparts in jpeg format.
