Listing details for 4831 Sulphur Springs Rd NE, Hickory, NC 28601 : Character and craftsmanship you simply can't recreate! This charming 1921 farmhouse was built with materials from the circa-1800s Bowman schoolhouse, and its history shows throughout: rare, elaborate trim casings, a genuine black Italian marble hearth in the primary bedroom, and an exposed interior wood accent wall.
