A.C. Lineberger House



This Renaissance Revival style home was built in 1921 for the A.C. Lineberger family who were partners in Lineberger-Stowe Mills. 

The elegant dining room (pictured here) features the original, hand painted rice paper of Oriental design. 

The third floor was originally a ballroom, but in 1949 with his young family in the house, Mr. Lineberger commissioned an Austrian painter to create a circus playroom painting whimsical life-size circus characters under the "big-top" circus tent formed by the slope of the roof.
