Significance: This house, designed by noted architect Dietrich Rulfs, was completed in 1897 for Judge Stephen W. Blount. Blount personally selected the timber for the house that was later milled by the Haywood Lumber Company. The gingerbread detailing was provided by William Henry Rulfs, a brother of the architect who had just immigrated to the United States from Germany. The structure became the Cason Monk Funeral Home in the 1930s and the chapel was added in the 19505.
