This house is now falling down. The large tree on the left side of the picture next to the house has fallen through the left 1/3 of the house.
No one has lived in this house since the early 70's when my Great Aunt and Uncle moved out to a house that was built in the 1950's that is close by. My grandmother and her siblings were born here from 1903 through 1909. It is the original Warren Family Homestead and the creek that runs by the house and through the rest of the property is now called the Warren Branch.
It is believed that it was built by Campbell E. Warren in the 1830s. Campbell and two of his sons served in the Union Army (two terms of service) during the Civil War. Campbell and at least two of of his sons were Wheelwrights who made wagon wheels , buggies and some furniture that was in the house. The family stopped working as Wheelwright's after Joseph Edward Warren was drafted into WWI and died in action on November 6, 1918.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing the interesting history of the Warren Family Homestead in Sullivan County. It's fascinating to hear about the house's origins and the family's connection to it. Do you have any memories or stories from growing up in the area during the 1980s? We'd love to hear more about what the community was like back then! Feel free to share any other details or anecdotes you might have.
