What a wonderful experience Permalink Submitted by Robert W. Thank you!! Permalink Submitted by Nancy E. Teer W Thank you very much. There is a large estate near Hillsborough that I remember visiting once in the s with my father. He did some work for Nello Teer around that time.
It has recently been for sale but I believe it remains unsold. The house was impressive for the times. I'm guessing it was built 40s-early 50s and has not changed a lot. I believe there was a landing strip for a small airplane behind the house. It's around 17 acres I believe. I always thought one of the Teers lived there or maybe a member of his family or an employee. Someone may know who originally lived there. I would be interested to know anything about it.
The Nello Teer Co. As is this site. I am one of 7 grandchildren of Mildred and Dillard Teer. My uncle Robb Teer has an extensive archive collection of all things Teer. I know he would be thrilled to see some of your pictures, not to mention we would love to show them to my grandparents. Would you be open to this?
Please contact me at your convenience. Thank you! Please e-mail with any info. Thanks, APH. We are the family that she was posting for but have not heard from her in years. If you do have a picture of Jim Love we would be very excited to see it.
We have determined that Jim Love is my husband's biological father. We would love to hear anything about him that you could share with us. Thanks so much, Karen and James Moore. Skip to main content.

The "Pool House" and Olympic sized pool was built in Duke did away with the pool due to liability.
The Teer property included many houses down to Newsome Street, for employees of the Teer firm. Cow pasture lands went to Fairfield on the north and west to Duke Homestead. I live above the two car garage, left to the teer house. It,s great here, to be able to live in the city and be surrounded by country. Reminds me of home. They were my grandfathers cook and maid. The room down stairs is where a large wood buring stove usued to be The more beautiful home of Nello L.
Teer Sr. Roxboro Rd. Clements Sr. There should be photos of that home on this site as well. I think you are referring to the Richard Wright house Bonnie Brae.
Then my father in fact, quite a few in the family used to work for your father and uncle Dillard Teer. He thought highly of them both. I'd be very interested in what you migth remember about the building of the other houses in the neighborhood, the ones you say were for Teer employees. I assume you mean between N. Duke and Roxboro Rd.? I've never been able to figure out why the Roxboro road end of the neighborhood is so different from the North Duke end. No Gary, Nello Teer Sr. They swapped houses.
The one across the street was also massive. Next door to the south was Bonnie Brae. Yes, I've since learned about this house - the 'Little House' across the street stood to the north of Bonnie Brae, built by Nello Jr.
In response to the earlier comment - I'd be happy to put a picture of that house on the site if one exists; I've never seen one. I've spoken with some of the Teer family about this, but if any pictures are out there, please send them to me.
I agree. I am Ed Clement's grandson. I would love for photos of that house to be on here as well. My grandfather said if he had known that it was going to be torn down he would have never sold it. If I can find some photos of the house I will try and submit them. There are a number of totally wrong items in this article. Do you want them corrected for historical sake? Page- I'm not aware that there is anything "totally wrong" - everything is sourced, so someone else other than me has a version of this history that you disagree with, clearly.
But why don't you simply write what it is that you take issue with - or your version of the above. That would be helpful, and yes, the goal is to have the history be as accurate as possible or to present the not-uncommonly conflicting versions.
The "totally wrong" commentary just isn't very helpful or nice. Grew up with Page,new the whole family,played at the Teer house,My dads office was located behind the house up where the equipment was kept,I think it still stands today, if anyone should know the history would be Page ,or any of the Teers.
I ALSO worked them in va,pa,wva. I am Dillard Teer's grandson and have reviewed this article.
