Concord’s historic E.W.G. Fisher House hits market for $659,900

The city’s textile mills boomed after the Civil War, and there are still plenty of homes reflecting the wealth and growth of that era, most built between 1880-1930. The North Union Historic District is home to Queen Anne cottages and several Colonial Revival, Italianate, Greek Revival properties.

The E.W.G. Fisher house, originally built for a local merchant, is near notable historic properties including the home of Charles A. Cannon, the longtime president of Cannon Mills, and the First Presbyterian Church.
