Owen-Thomas House

Several of us spent a morning exploring the Owen-Thomas House and Slave Quarters. Although the house has undergone renovations, several original details have been preserved, and as the house is facing more maintenance, there is a concerted effort towards an authentic restoration to original design and decor.



Tabby - material used to make walls taking advantage of the plentiful oystershells

original color of the ceiling was blue - reminiscent of the sky and also to keep away bad spirits
