An exclusive VIP reception catered by Soiree Restaurant and Say Cheese at the Grapevine will be held on Friday, October 17 from 6-9 pm at the historic J. A. Stewart house at 832 North Main Street. This home was once the dairy farmhouse of Mr. J.A. Stewart, who was a founding father of the Mooresville Cooperative Creamery. From 1924-26, the upstairs served as an operating room for Dr. M.A. Lackey, a prominent Mooresville physician. John F. Matheson, manager of the Mooresville Mills, moved to the house in 1948, during the first of his two terms as Iredell County’s state representative. In 1955, Mr. Matheson sold the house to the Vice President and General Manager of Mooresville Mills, Mr. C. W. Gunter. As the pedigree of the house has grown, so has its list of features. The 6400 square foot home now boasts a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and original oak floors, and an English garden that spans the 2-acre backyard. The New York Speakeasy-style heated sunroom allows you to stay warm while having fun even on the coldest winter day.
Soiree, Historic Downtown Mooresville's own upscale casual restaurant, will cater the event at the J. A. Stewart House with a special hors d'oeuvre menu. Soiree makes its home in the gorgeously rehabilitated Rankin Building, and will be open during tour hours, including Saturday lunch.
Say Cheese at the Grapevine will be serving exclusive wine and cheese pairings.
A limited number of tickets for the VIP event will be sold, so hurry now to order yours. Tickets are $40 and can also be purchased here. |
