Mystery tufts sticking out of walls at 1800s NC farm identified under microscope

A mystery popped out of the walls during restoration work at an 18th century farm in eastern North Carolina, and it looked a lot like hair, photos show. The strange discovery was made earlier this month at the Historic Hayes Farm in Edenton, where restoration specialist Andrew Ownbey is restoring key parts of the 194-acre farming complex. Photos show the wispy material emerged from between the walls of a loft built over the kitchen, which dates to 1817 and suffered a roof fire in the late 19th century. Ownbey was certain it was an intentional part of the construction. “I suspected wool, since it survived the fire,” he said in an Oct. 15 Facebook post. He was wrong. Believing “good detective work will lead to a proper preservation,” Ownbey submitted fibers for a microscopic analysis by Virginia-based art conservator Amelia Jensen. “She was able to identify the fibers as cotton,” Ownbey says. So why was cotton jammed into cracks? Ownbey suspects it was used like to a type of caulk to insulate the walls. “The cotton ‘caulk’ is unusual.
