Moore House, circa 1862, is the oldest remaining house in Mount Airy. Located in the front yard is an outstanding rustic hexagonal summer house (circa 1865) constructed with wood poles and intervening laurel root walls and a wood shingle roof. The furniture inside the summer house includes a settee, chair and table with laurel root base and plank top. A picture of this very rare gazebo is in the North Carolina Architecture compiled by Katherine Bisher.
Mount Airy is the home of the world's largest open faced granite quarry. The quarry has been in operation since 1889. Many of Mount Airy's churches, homes and businesses are made of Mount Airy granite.
