The "house which can't be burned/' now being erected about eight miles south of here by Thomas Payne Tolbert, was yesterday visited by many persons from over the Piedmont section. Much interest in this curious house was displayed by the visitors who were permitted by Mr. Tolbert to in spect thy house and to see something of its construction. A few of the more sprightly climbed the ladder which connected the first and second floors and inspected the rooms on the second floor. The majority, however, remained on the first floor, hearing only second-hand of what was to. be seen on the top floor. 'The house is built of fire-proof material throughout, not a piece of wood as large a a a match having gone into its construction. With the ex* ception of the cement and the metal parts needed in the building, all of the material came from tho Tolbert plantation. One thousand truck load* of granite, quarried on the place, wero' used in building the house, together with 2,500 sacks of cement and an onormous quantity of sand. "If there is another house like it in the United States I have labored in vain," Mr. Tolbert told an interest ed group of spectators. "I want to have a house different from anybody's I believe I have gotten it, too. I don'tj believe another one like it is to be found from New York to Chicago." Construction of the house was started about four years ago and will be finished some time this year, al though Mr. Tolbent doesn't know just when. Asked as to how much the l\ouse cost, Mr. Tolbert said he hadn't figured this up but that the cutting and hauling of the stone alone cost over 4,000. Added to this is the cost of the cement, the metal used in the doors and windows and the hauling of the sand and miscellaneous mater ials, including the plastering. , The house is two stories in height, containing four rooms and a hall on each floor. A circular hole is cut into the floor on the socond hall and a metal staircase* is to be put in at some future date but this has not yet ar rived. Mr. Tolbert, a middle-aged bache lor who lives alone, has had one house burned and his father also had a house burned, so this caused him to plan a house which would be as near unburnable as brains could plan it. Added to this thought of having a fire-proof structure, Mr. Tolbert has sought to have a building which will be different from any other house and those who have seen it say he has succeeded. The house is in a thinly-settled re gion, accessible over roads that are none too good, but this has not pre vented many spectators from making a pilgrimage there. ? Greenville Pied mont. .
