‘Every little detail tells a story’: Todd Hotel restoration honors family legacy

TODD — The Todd Hotel has been in John Baker’s family for seven generations, and he is now restoring it to its former glory. The property and hotel — an 1840s Appalachian farmhouse, built in the Greek Revival style and renovated in Victorian style — has been in the family since before the railroad came to Todd. The hotel’s first known mention in print came in 1885, when the Watauga Democrat called it a boarding house, Baker said. In 1909, his great-great-great-grandfather, Felix McGuire, purchased the hotel and farm. Baker said he believes his family bought it expecting prosperity would follow the railroad to the area. Felix’s son, T.A. McGuire, and T.A.’s wife, Mae McGuire, took over in 1912 — adding more guest rooms and renovating the hotel in the ornate Victorian style that survives today. “What was more of a simple farmhouse, they expanded into a really grand hotel — in a very optimistic way,” Baker said. “It’s really kind of based on things they saw — styles from New York — to make a really grand impression on visitors that would be coming from all over the world.” At its peak from the 1910s through the 1930s, the

Bringing light, color and beauty to an otherwise dark place

LINCOLNTON – The tunnel that crosses under E. Main St. on the Marcia H. Cloninger Rail Trail was, at one time, a pretty dark and uninviting place. That’s all changed thanks to John “Kenzy” MacKenzy Baxter. A third-generation painter, Baxter has completed projects in multiple locations, including multiple commercial construction projects in and around Denver. He’s currently working on the new Holy Spirit Catholic Church on N.C. 16 Business.

This historic Kings Mountain mill could soon become apartments

A historic Kings Mountain mill that was originally opened in the late 1800s by one of the town's founders could soon be transformed into luxury apartments. The Kings Mountain City Council voted 6-1 to rezone the historic Phenix Mill property from light industrial to semi-urban residential. The change allows a developer to turn the building into apartments. Councilman Tyler Fletcher was the sole dissenting vote. Originally known as the Dilling Cotton Mill, it was built by Freno Dilling around 1892. The property is located on Phenix Street with U.S. 74 to the north and bordered by Norfolk Southern railroad tracks along the northwest. Brad Lagano, city planning director, said the property is just under 10 acres and the semi-urban residential designation fits with the surrounding area. Many of the homes near the building are former mill village houses. According to Cleveland County property records, the land is valued at $124,000. Lagano said the Dilling Mill operated for 50 years until it was purchased by Burlington Industries and renamed Phenix Mill in 1940. He said it was in operation until 1982 and has been sitting vacant for the past 40 years. A rusted chain-link fence with a no trespassing sign surrounds

Plans launched for community Thanksgiving meal

It’s now November, which means Thanksgiving is right around the corner — and perhaps just as importantly, a free holiday meal for the community. The event that unfolds at First Baptist Church in Mount Airy has been a Thanksgiving tradition since it was launched in 1996 by the group Friends of a Brighter Community, led by local singer Melva Houston. “I never thought it would last for 30 years,” Daris Wilkins, one of the group’s members who has been involved all that time, said of the free Thanksgiving feast seasoned with a spirit of unity. It originally was planned as a one-time event, but “Melva liked it, so we decided to have one annually,” Wilkins said. With Houston’s passing in 2020, Wilkins has taken over the chief organizer role for the meal — adopting the nickname “Turkey Lady” along the way. Preparations for the serving begin early, with organizers meeting at the church on Oct. 20 to lay out the 2026 game plan. Tradition continues The 30th annual free thanksgiving meal is scheduled this year on Nov. 26 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will observe a format adopted in recent years whereby plates with turkey and all the
