He was a surgeon with the Kentucky Militia in the War of 1812. He came to Urbana and fell in love with the area. After the war was over he came back and built this home for his wife and 8 children. I think Dr. Carter would be proud of how the building looks today. Centrally located in downtown Urbana with restaurants, antique shops, theatre, boutiques and salons within two blocks. Even a little candy store/deli that has been in operation since 1893. Many sights to see in and around Champaign County to include Ohio Caverns, Frank Lloyd Wright's Westcott House, Freshwater Farms, Cedar Bog Nature Preserve, Simon Kenton bike trail, Aviation Museum, Historical Socirty Museum, Piatte Castles, Mad River Mountain ski area, and much more.
