Wonderful Base Camp!
Very convenient and safe location; clean and very nice layout inside. We did not have the check-in information upon arrival however Michael was quick to get it to us. Plenty of safe parking and lots of shops and local restaurants. We used the place as a "base camp" for skydiving and Carowinds Park. We will definitely be back again! Thanks very much! Seth

Diane and I are licensed NC General Contractors that specialize in the adaptive reuse of downtown commercial buildings using Historic Investment Tax Credits. We live in the O.O. Rufty Building over the storefront in a magnificent apartment. We love living downtown because you can walk everywhere.

Why they chose this property

Restaurants, bars, breweries, shopping, events, our downtown park. Downtown Salisbury is a great place to walk.

What makes this property unique

The O.O. Rufty Building is named for the occupant that it was built for. Built in 1922 for the O.O. Rufty General Store, it was the longest continuously operating general store in NC until it closed. Steven Spielberg modeled the store for the movie "The Color Purple". The building is now five apartments, one retail space and 28 climate-controlled storage units in the basement.
