Building Frazier Drive, 1958


To begin a second phase, a road, Frazier Drive, needed to be built and the entrance was located between the Stribling and Abercrombie properties. K. P. Williamson and Eddie Abercrombie both cited different events that complicated the road building.

Pop Frazier was hoping to build a road on the cheap with a simple gravel bed, but upon registering his plans with Union County, local road building had a specification codes that shot the price of Frazier Drive way beyond Pop’s idea of cheap.

Also instead of a straight road, Pop decided he wanted to jog the road’s path to gain an extra or two lots for sale, but Eddie had to threaten a lawsuit if the road wasn't built between he and Ms. Stribling's properties, as originally promised. Pop dropped his road change ideas and K.P. found a slide of the original road construction.
