The Peter W. S. Slawter House is a Victorian frame house built c. 1880 off of Garnet Mine Road. It was built for Peter Winfield Sipe Slawter and Sarah Emma Slawter.
Peter Winfield Sipe Slawter was a farmer and carpenter by trade, according to 1900 and 1910 Census records. He specialized in building spiral staircases, and built two for his farmhouse. He owned 11 acres of land, and live in the house with his five children. Peter Slawter’s family were members of Elam Methodist Episcopal Church, and he is buried in its graveyard.
The property stayed within the Slawter family for three generations.
This property is now part of Renegade Flower Farm, and they plan to restore the farmhouse and offer it as a historic Air BnB.
