Lin Nichols' home and studio

This classic Southern Cottage Style home is virtually unchanged as far as structure and interior walls.  Named for my great  grandfather, The Robert Dickson Farm is on the National Registry of Historic Places.  The original cabin was built some time around 1800, and was later joined to another dwelling of approimately 1865 vintage.      The home, abandoned for over 20 years, was restored when my late husband and I came home from California in 1988.   I am of the Dickson bloodline and the fourth generation of Dickson family to live in the turn of the century home.  The fat lightwood house, surrounding forest and farmland has had unbroken family ownership since the early 1800s.  I continue to make this my  private residence and Art Studio.     Visitors are welcome for tours, but I ask that you call me for an appointment at (910) 289-4171 or on my cell (910) 284-1247.  Be prepared for  barking dogs, noisy wind chimes and a serene rustic setting down a country lane..

Pets live in this old house too.  Sandy, the blond cat lounges where it's cool on the porch in summer.  Pete is a show off.  The three others are camera shy.
