The Stamey Company Store, also known as Stamey Mansion, is an historic commercial building located at 4726 Fallston Road in Fallston, North Carolina. The brick commercial building was completed in 1927[1] and added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 10, 2019.[2]

History[edit]

In 1890, brothers Thomas Stamey and Charles Stamey leased John Falls', the namesake for Fallston and Cleveland County Sheriff, storefront. The store was successful: in 1909, annual sales averaged $100,000. After a fire in their warehouses in 1925, the store was replaced with the current fire-resistant brick building, completed in 1927. The company continued to enjoy success until Charline Stamey passed in 1991. Without another Stamey family member to run the business, the store closed in 1994. From 1995 to 2013, the building was leased to a series of tenants. It is currently used as an event center.[1]
