George
Tavenner started his home WINODEE before the Revolutionary War.
Richard
Tavenner built his house
HARMONY HALL about 1786.
Both homes are located in
Hamilton.
I have been to both homes and my cousin who is visiting his son in
Maryland on a military base wanted to see the houses belonging to our ancestors. I gave him directions.
He went to
Hamilton.
Said he could spot Richard Tavenner's House right across the
HARMONY Methodist Church on Colonial Way but that it had been covered with stucco and painted grey.
He said George Tavenner's house must have either been torn down or covered up with new materials. Its a little harder to explain where WINODEE is.
One can see the back of the house from a little right of way path off
Tavenner Lane running off Colonial Way just pas
Hamilton Station Road but to see the front of the house, one has to go back out to Colonial Way, drive down
Hamilton Station Road and turn into Winodee Subdivision onto Winodee Way.
I cannot believe that ANYONE would mar these 200 + year old houses by covering up the original exteriors and have to believe that my cousin didn't see the proper houses.
Does anyone live in
Loudon Co. and is familiar with these historical homes?
