Historic 1840s cabins coming down in Charleston
In Charleston two late 1840s Gilliland cabins on a four acre South Hills property are being dismantled after developer J D Stricklen acquired the site in February and vacated May 2. Stricklen cites safety concerns and plans to salvage usable material for a historic replication on Benedict Hard Farm while noting disputes with residents and ongoing litigation over earlier development denials.
