LOOKING AT HISTORY: Danbury Civil War home continues restoration

(By Joan Wenner, The Stokes News) - ...Less noticed is a two-story structure undergoing meticulous restoration including exceptional stonework by historical structure-experienced Wayne McBride of Madison, directly across the narrow lane at the courthouse’s west side, just steps from the monuments honoring the brave Southern recruits. Danbury residents Richard and Jane Tharp, owners of the 3,100 square foot National Historic Register-listed McCanless Inn/Moody Tavern at 601 North Main Street, are continuing their own monumental efforts to bring this treasure of the past to the present as an inn and restaurant/tavern much as it would have appeared when General Stoneman commandeered it as his Danbury headquarters, drank whiskey in the tavern with his staff officers and slept there on the second floor east-facing room.
