Bed and Breakfast

  Richard & Shaw Oldham, Innkeepers

 

Enjoy the peace and quiet of the small picturesque town of Carthage, conveniently located near the golf courses of Pinehurst and the antique shops of Cameron. Spend some time with us in our 1893 home decorated with antiques and family heirlooms, each piece chosen with love. (See photos.)

Ascending the stairs from the Apricot Entrance Hall, you open the French door and enter a pastoral painted mural hall with Birch and Dogwood trees and Azaleas. From this hall you enter a large meeting/sitting area featuring an art gallery. A sun-porch and three bedrooms open from this area.

The Blue & Gold Bedroom has turned beds. The Raspberry Room features a queen size bed and white furniture while the Lavender Room is furnished with antiques furniture and double bed. Each bedroom has a sitting area and private bath, television, and original watercolor and oil artwork.

After a refreshing night's sleep, awake to a delicious full breakfast downstairs in the dining room, or you might want to have breakfast on the Magnolia shaded porch and enjoy the garden.

The Rose-Hurwitz House was built in 1893 by L. K. Rose. It was acquired in 1910 by Abraham Hurwitz, a local department store owner. Sometime around 1930 it was remodeled by Hurwitz from a one-story frame house to the two-story house it is today. It was later purchased by Deputy Sheriff A. W. Lambert. In 1996 it was purchased by Richard and Shaw Oldham, it's current owners. They have remodeled the upper floor and have turned it into the current bed & breakfast, Lauren's Haven.
