Mill Prong House

Built in the late 18th century by John Gilchrist (1740 - 1802), an important political and social leader in this area and in the state, Mill Prong House is one of the few remaining houses known to have been built by an immigrant Highland Scot. This two-story Federal structure, remodeled in the 1830's in the Greek Revival style, retains much of its original construction. The Mill Prong House and cemetery remain unique survivors of the Highland Scot settlement in the Cape Fear area. The house was restored in 1993 and has been placed on the National Register of historic Places.
