For the past 35 years, Salisbury has set aside the second weekend of October for a tour of eight to ten historic properties. Meticulously planned and organized by the Historic Salisbury Foundation, October Tour stands among the elite historic home tours of North Carolina. It is a short course in architecture, history, restoration and antiques. It has also provided the foundation with funds that helped save or protect some 100 older homes from demolition.
The 2011 tour will take place on Saturday, October 8th from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday, October 9th from noon to 5:30 p.m..
Among the historic properties that will be shown on this year's OctoberTour are:
 |
| Bernhardt House c. 1882 |
 |
| Maxwell House c. 185 |
The Bernhardt House is a unique property that acts as a cornerstone to the entrance of historic downtown Salisbury. This significant landmark is a wonderful example of a 2-story, late Victorian, reflecting the two successive phases of the Italianate style. It sits on its original site and was updated in 1999. Most recent updates include a new roof, new exterior paint, floor repair, new bath fixtures, and fresh interior paint.
The house has been used as a commercial building with 4 large office spaces. The property is close to the commercial and entertainment area of Fisher Street with plenty of parking in the back. The Bernhardt House is individually listed on the National Register and qualifies for NC Tax Credits. Property has a Preservation Agreement.
Seller will consider a Lease Option to Purchase with a qualified buyer.
