Charles Larry Horne

Graduating in 1969 from Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Va., I worked as a set designer for Alderman Studios in High Point, NC until moving to Washington, DC to join the staff of W and J Sloane, Inc. where I worked for 11 years. I started my own design and architecture firm in 1982 as Horne International Designs, Inc. We completed installations i throughout the United States, Europe, and Middle East. In 1999 I purchased and restored the Hervey Evans home on West Church Street in Laurinburg and operated as THOMAS WALTON MANOR, B and B. I served on the Board of Trustees for St. Andrews University from 2006-2011. In 2010 I was inducted as a FELLOW to the American Society of Interior Designers. Virginia Commonwealth University honored me as 2019 Alumni Star for The School of the Arts.
In 2013 my long time partner since 1974, Ron Phillips and I were married in Maryland.
After selling 400 West Church Street in 2016, we retired to Asheville, NC during the winter and to Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, during the summer.
Retirement is great. We are members of St. Andrews Presbyterian in NOTL and
enjoy two Springs and two Falls each year.
