He was my great,great.great great grandfather. I have a book on historical Rutherford county homes including daffodil home. The book is called hearthstone, by Mary b.Hughes,1942. It is not in the best of shape(the book). I also have a picture of captain Ed Arnold and his wife sitting in the living room of the house . This spiral-bound book also contains stories about many of the other homes . I would assume someone up there has a copy and you may already have seen it. I would love to see the inside of the house also,so please let me know if there are ever any open historical home shows. Hello, I am related to captain Ed Arnold.

Even a particular 1993 house may be able convey something culturally and historically significant to future generations. (NOT all 1993 homes) Was the place associated with a person or set of ideas or events. Is it exemplary of a class or style of architecture? Is is an exceptional example of its time? Are there other examples that will be able to preserve and convey the cultural, social, or historical significance better? Does it take ten thousand acres to do this, or could it be done with 1,000 acres? Will the new development/use so detract from the historic legacy as to destroy it without actually taking the building? Will the new development/use make archaelogical and historical artifacts inacessable or disturb them so that they loose their meaning? Is there a way to make the two uses compatible? (Such as remote/underground parking, underground highway, compatible architecture and landscapes.)With "green roofs" the entire mall could have become the basis for the battlefield preservation and attraction.
