Located in Brevard, in Transylvania County, the
Allison-Deaver house has a good bit of sad, War-time history associated with
it. Considered the oldest standing frame house in western North Carolina,
portions of it were built in 1815. According to the story, a group of bushwhackers
attacked the house, looking for Capt. James Deaver. Instead of finding him, they found his father, William Deaver, whom
was shot and mortally wounded on the front porch. The house is open for tours
May through October.
