Ray Wiseman House

The Ray Wiseman House, located in Altamont, Avery County, North Carolina, is a historic Arts-and-Crafts bungalow built in 1941. Recognized as one of the finest examples of Arts and Crafts architecture in the area, this one-story home showcases exquisite chestnut woodwork and red oak floors. With a floor plan featuring two spacious bedroom suites, a private sunroom adorned with rare 1940s wallpaper, and original plumbing fixtures, it offers a glimpse into upper-middle-class living of the 1940s. Set on 1.5 acres of land, the house is constructed from native river rock and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in architectural history.
