602 S. SYCAMORE- BUILT 1913 (LOOK LEFT)

Home of Alabama-born dry goods merchant Max Chotiner and his wife Helena, this home was remodeled and a second story added in 1913 by contractor Cicero Stuart Maffitt. Mr. Maffitt came to Palestine from Black Mountain, North Carolina in 1888 and was a contractor here for over 40 years as well as a city councilman. He was the father of local architect Theodore S. Maffitt. This house is an excellent example of the Colonial Revival style popular at the time it was remodeled.
