The architecture of Belvidere gives no suggestion of the Colonial style prevalent in the old Virginia home. It was of an earlier period sucgestive of old England.

It has no hall, but the whole of one end of the building la one large room, the dining room, and the Master's bed room completes the first floor. Aa the sixteen sons and daughters (eight of each) and other members of the house hold grew and Increased, rooms were added to the house, but. more often. Individual rooms or houses were built In close proximity to the Big House. For not only did Belvidere shelter the Immediate family, but It began giving hospitality to the older generation aa well.

After the death of his father. Arthur Erwln. W. W. Erwln brought his mother to his home.

She was Margaret Brandon, whom history records as a descendant of Mary Tudor. When Mrs. Erwin's father. Col. William Sharp, died in Iredell county she brought her mother Catherine Reese Sharp (daughter of David Reese) to live with her.

Thus two mothers-in-law found themselves under the same roof. A Utile later, when fifteen growing boys and girls spread all over the house. Col. Erwln built the first home In the yard that these two mothers might find quiet for their knitting and reminiscing. Here wounded hearts were comforted and stumped toes bandaged.

Here these two lived side by side, in such hsrmony In life, that In death they lie side by side In the family burying ground, on top of the hill. Just beyond the flower garden. Today Msrgaret Brandon Erwln and Catherine Reese Sharps house Is used as the Erwln grainery. A Notable Wedding On June 37, 1815. Harriet Elolse.

A mere duel with a certain Andrew Jackson was likely too trifling a subject for that gathering. The late Judge Avery enjoyed telling this story of his parents' wedding. After the festivities were over and the couple were driving from the brlde'a home of Belvidere. to the groom's home of Swan Ponds, a distance of about 10 miles, a quail crossed the road with a covey of 10 young birds.

At exactly eight o'clock In the morning of June 30. 1837. Col. Erwln opened wide his eyes which seemed to summon his grandson, who bent over him.

Then came the sound of a few words which none could hear except young Walghtstill. who. turn-lng to the group said "He says William the Fourth Is dead The News Proved It Some two or three weeks later when the stage arrived carrying mall, the papers announced the death ol England's King at twenty minutes past two o'clock on the morning of June 20, 1837.
