Lewis Hanes House and Barn
4390 Clouds Harbor Trail, Winston-Salem
The Lewis Hanes House was constructed in 1857 by Lewis Hanes; bricks in the east chimney are inscribed, “J.C.B. 1857.” Its barn was built by a Dunker craftsman in the late 1800s. The east section of the house is log; the barn and other outbuildings are outstanding examples of a 19th century farming complex. When Patrick Dodson and Keith Hastings purchased the property in 1980, the house was a skeleton of its original self. There were 52 broken windows, no porch boards left, many to most of the wood features were either rotten or missing, walls had been added to the interior, and the seven fireplaces were the only heat source. Mr. Dodson and Mr. Hastings completely renovated the house and barn, installing new roofs, repairing the mantels, painting the exterior, refinishing the floors, and installing new wiring, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning systems. After being restored, the barn was put back into its original service and now houses horses and hay.
