Story

This print features the beautiful Tate home also known as "The Cedars", which is located in downtown Morganton, North Carolina. It has significant historical value, as well as being a monumental tribute to the late Samuel Tate. He was a local hero who not only served in the Civil War, but, went on to excel financially and politically in the state of North Carolina.

The Tate house occupies most of an entire city block, surrounded by park-like wooded grounds. It is a clever and ambitious adoption of a Greek Revival style home. The home was built circa 1850 by a Morganton physician, Dr. William McRee. It was later updated by Samuel Tate in 1868 to a "Second Empire" style home. The remodeling required removal of the original pediment ed gable roof and replacing it with a mansard roof.

"The Cedars" is depicted in "A Winter's Gift" in the simple beauty of the season's first light snow. A flock of snowbirds have gathered under the snow-laden boughs of a tree, in the stillness of a dusky evening to feed on the last few seeds left behind, inspiring one to pause and reflect on the peace and beauty of the season.
