Clayton, NC

I cannot begin to say enough great things about a local website developed to keep the community informed of upcoming events, local news, and just about anything else that goes on in our area. Two of the most popular features would have to be the Discussion Group & Classifieds. The classifieds are our own little version of craigslist and the discussion group, well it speaks for itself most days.

I am very thankful to discuss local & national events & news with fellow members of my community. Some of which I have had the pleasure to meet, others I hope to meet one day.

If you live in the Johnston County area this is a website you must visit. Many of my clients have visited this website to get information about the area before moving here. This is by far my FAVORITE local site!

Thanks to all our police, soldiers, fire fighters etc. I was sitting at the light at 42 & Cleveland School this afternoon when I noticed a truck sitting in the turn lane had caught fire. The men in the truck and everyone around took off running (as we would all do). Not a minute later I see a HP emerge from his car and run towards the vehicle with a fire extinguisher to put out the flanes. It occured to me that most of us will always run away from scary/dangerous situations while these brave men & women run in to ensure our safety.
So thank you!

Yesterday, I had an appointment in Clayton, NC. While I was there, I decided to drive downtown to catch a glimpse of the little ones who were lined up and eager to trick-or-treat down Main Street. The road was already blocked when I arrived, but I did have the opportunity to see several mermaids, Spiderman, a really muscular blue guy (not sure of his name), an Indian princess, blue-haired twins and a few other cute characters.

Established in 1770, Clayton, NC is a small town in Johnston County. As you can see from the photographs, downtown Clayton is much the same today as it has been for many generations. Most of the buildings were constructed between 1890 and 1960.

Just last Fall, Nancy Van Dolsen…a National Register consultant…assisted the Town of Clayton to prepare the nomination for Clayton’s Historic District. The proposed historic district consists of 207 contributing buildings and structures and 64 non-contributing buildings and structures.

The B.M. Robertson Mule Co...in the photograph below...is one of Clayton's oldest businesses. In business since 1902, B.M. Robertson sold farm equipment and mules. Back in the day, the building would hold up to 50 mules at a time...each selling for $250 to $350.

On Tuesday, November 13^th, there will be an informational presentation that is open to the public. The meeting will be held in the Poole Room at The Clayton Center at 7pm. The Clayton Center is located at 111 E. Second Street in Clayton, NC. Nancy Van Dolsen is scheduled to review the process for becoming a historic district and present the draft of the proposed Clayton Historic District.
