The Peppard house was built in 1895 in Greenville by the 'mayor' of Banks, William Moore. In 1905, Moore moved the house 2 miles north to its present site on Market Street in Banks.
Photo of the brick yard that stood near Wilksboro. It was powered by a steam engine and drew its raw materials from the surrounding land. The building no longer stands, but there are still impressions in the land just west of the railroad tracks from years of digging out material for bricks.
