5 - 7. Privies. Three privies are located within the district and are evenly spaced behind the block. Two, frame
with shed roofs, are located behind the post office and the McGill building. The dates of construction are
unknown, but all appear to be historic. The brick privy, located at the rear of the Tising Store, was reportedly
constructed at the same time as the store (ca. 1874 or earlier) and is relatively elaborate. Foregoing the typical
shed roof design, the Using privy is front-gabled with a moulded "pediment," seamed tin roof and a batten door
with a china knob. This privy is still in use." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
Historic District Map
"Overall, the High Point Historic District retains its historic integrity. Photographs dating as early as 1906
indicate that very little has been altered on these buildings since then. The primary modifications, such as
reconstruction of the Tising store in 1892 and the replacement of an older building with the McGill Cafe/Residence
in 1941, are historic in their own right. Vinyl siding on the rear elevations of buildings in the eastern half of the strip
is not readily visible from the front and is difficult to see even from the county road (High Point Road) which is
adjacent to the west edge of the district." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
