less than 90 that have been designated as Landmarks. This is very
special honor for our Inn.

Built in 1927 by A Y Hairr local architect and builder, who was noted
for building and designing prominent homes in the region and for also
designing and building the North Carolina State Fair Water Falls.

Springs, for shopping and dining. The Dr. W. S. Cozart built the home in
1927 and expanded it in 1937. The Cozart Family owned and built one of
seven hotels – The Ben Wiley, celebrating the mineral spring.
