Constructed circa 1850, the Captain Isaac N. Deadrick House in the Levesque community in Cross County is a two story vernacular interpretation of the Greek Revival Style. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in September 1993 with local significance for Captain Deadrick’s involvement in the Civil War and postwar reconstruction government in Wittsburg. It is also regarded as the oldest extant building in Cross County and the last symbol of the antebellum period in that area. The Deadrick House has been vacant and neglected for some time, but the Cross County Historical Society is preparing a master plan involving the structure and the Deadrick-Hare Cemetery behind it. It is located on Crowley’s Ridge Parkway National Scenic Byway and holds much potential as a restored and rehabilitated visitor destination for the more than 450,000 annual travelers along the National Scenic Byway.
