This is a huge discovery!

The Shackleford-Williams “wooden dwelling house with two outbuildings” was built in 1837, likely by wharf merchant James Shackleford. Since then it has survived the Civil War and multiple natural disasters. In fact, it had a front row seat to the very first shots fired in the Civil War in 1861. Thankfully it emerged unscathed. As a result, its historical details are well preserved, and previous owners have lovingly maintained and updated the home over the years. ...
