Blueberry Hill

The barn was completed in 1949, two years before my grandparents finished building their house. During those years, they lived in a small three-room cabin with their six children while working tirelessly on both the barn and the home. As a child, I have fond memories of visiting the barn to watch my Grandma Ada milk the cows. Her speed and skill always amazed me, though I never quite mastered the art myself.ing.

The barn was a true labor of love, built by my Grandpa Rufus, Uncle Gene, and Uncle Harlow, with invaluable help from friends and neighbors. One of Uncle Gene’s friends, Jap Cook, dedicated two full years to the project, working alongside them from start to finish. The foundation, made of hand-poured concrete filled with field rock, stands as a testament to their craftsmanship. The joists were crafted from solid oak sourced right from the farm, and the gambrel-style loft ceiling rises an impressive 20 feet. This loft, spanning 2,000 square feet, provided ample storage for hay and grain crops over the years.

The barn itself is divided into four levels, each serving a distinct purpose. The entry level housed Grandpa’s workshop and horse stalls, while the middle level stored hay. The lower level was where all the milking took place. Above it all, the hay trolley still hangs from the exposed wood beams in the center of the lofty ceiling, a nostalgic reminder of the barn’s hardworking past.

In 1975, my parents, Royce and Eloise Wall, purchased the farm that included the barn. Years later, my husband, JR, and I bought the house on the farm, which stands beside the barn. Originally, my father used the barn to store equipment and hay. By 2013, my parents no longer needed the barn, and they gave us the opportunity to restore it.

During the restoration, we preserved the barn’s original character, incorporating recycled materials sourced directly from the farm. In 2017, we expanded the space by an additional 2,000 square feet, using wood from a packhouse in Pilot Mountain to line the interior walls, maintaining the rustic charm of the original structure. Over the past 11 years, the barn has become a cherished venue, hosting countless weddings, reunions, and celebrations.

Both JR and I come from public service backgrounds—I worked as a labor and delivery nurse, while JR served as a high school principal. Today, it’s incredibly special to see many of the babies I helped bring into the world and the students JR once taught now celebrating their weddings at Blueberry Hill.
