NORTH FORSYTH – One of the most notable, though empty, houses in Forsyth County will likely be coming down. At a work session on Tuesday, Forsyth County commissioners voted 5-0 to move forward with the demolition of the Barker house, which sits atop Sawnee Mountain and is infamous for its round, UFO-resembling design. No suitable use has been found since the county purchased the land in 2003, and the house has fallen into disrepair.
