Court approves sale of Blair House in Switchback McDowell County
Judge David A. Faber signed an order approving the sale of the Blair House, a 31 room Switchback mansion once owned by Billie Jean Cherry and later by Judy McDaniel, who inherited it after Grace Haynes’s death. The property, built by James Ellwood Jones, was renamed after Cherry’s mother and operated as a bed and breakfast before Cherry bought it at auction for 160000 dollars in 1998. The sale is tied to FDIC interests in the Keystone Bank collapse, with H Lynden Graham as administrator.
