Is anyone familiar with the big, beautiful historic home on Johnson Pond Road in FV? It looks to be Greek Revival, right opposite the pond and just down the road from FV Elementary School. I'm so curious about it... there are always two cars parked in the same spot and the same outside light on all the time. I've never seen anyone around but it looks to be kept up. Any info on this gem? I asked our realtor the history of it but she didn't know what I was talking about!

That's one of the original Johnson houses...the other one is in horrible disrepair down the road.

Thanks! That's what I would have guessed, given the location. I wonder if they ever have tours or something. I bet it's amazing inside.

It is on the National Registry of Historic Homes:

Beale Johnson House, 6321 Johnson Pond Road, Fuquay-Varina Vicinity, Designated: 6/05/1995, Individually Listed, National Register
This grand Neo-Classical house, built around 1906, was designed by prominent Raleigh architect Charles Pearson. With its imposing Doric portico, the residence illustrates the Neoclassical influences of the early Colonial Revival style. The house was home to James Beale Johnson, who made substantial contributions to business, political and general community life in southern Wake County in the early part of the Twentieth-Century. The Johnson Home is a private residence.
