"We don't want another non-profit. We want people making profits," -- Sylvester Edwards explaining his philosophy of farming and agribusinesses he's working on in #McDowellCounty, #WestVirginia Raised on the Eastern Band Cherokee Reservation in the Great Smoky Mountains, Edwards moved against the tide of people leaving and moved back to the region recently, specifically McDowell, a county known for its poverty. Edwards was drawn to farming because of his #Mormon faith. I have run into so many lovely and passionate people. All have their own hidden surprises. It is a complicated region. Edwards is one of our profiles for @100daysinappalachia #100days100voices #insideapppalachia #thisisappalachia #appalachia #wv #igersofwv #mcdowellcountywv #lookingatappalachia #farming #mountainlife #wvumedia #wvu #photojournalism #wvumediainno #stories #storiesofappalachia (at McDowell County)

A Southern Tradition: The Dogtrot House-
Prior to the advent of air conditioning, an understanding of local environments enabled southerners to build in ways that buffered the harsh climatic realities. The dogtrot, also known as a breezeway house, dog-run, or possum-trot, is a style of house that was common throughout the Southeastern United States during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The main style point was a large breezeway (instead of a hallway) through the center of the house to cool occupants in the hot southern climate.
The dogtrot is also known as “two pens and a passage”. One room was typically used for sleeping and the other for cooking. The covered open center passage was the main sitting room in warm weather that was cooled naturally by breezes that intensified in the open passage. The center passage was often used as the dog kennel and thus the name dog trot.
The original dog trots were made of logs with a fireplace on each end. Later dog trots were framed with wood siding.
The first time I ever heard of it was from the “Outlander” Series. The house in Frasier Ridge was a Dogtrot house.

October 1, 2017 A bit of natural "sculpture". Barn "way out yonder" in Old Fort. No decorations, no photoshop, just a scary pumpkin face barn with a witch's hat roof. 🎃😸🎃 #oldfortnc #instaphoto #pumpkinface #oldbarn #outyonder #backroads #countryroad #mcdowellcounty #visitasheville http://ift.tt/2xQdnLj
