Here is a better picture of roof.

I could not tell if it is slate.

I don't think it is slate but the stone

Weathering is beautiful!

 

The sidewalks were very big cut stone.

The bricks in the sidewalk and

Buildings are cut stone. Almost 

Like a red granite. Granite is all over

North Carolina . 

 

And John you are correct about the 

Trees. They are very very big here.

And back then probably even bigger.

Old Salem village in 

Winston Salem, North Carolina 






Moravian  houses built 1766 to late 1700's. They are currently lived in by 

Private residence.

 

The roof shingles look like cut stone.

Does anyone know what material 

The roof shingles on these houses

Could be made out of?
