Barely surviving a fire and half the house torn off, this once-condemned Queen Anne style house with Eastlake trim was rescued last year at the eleventh hour by Danville newcomers committed to its reclamation. Their zeal for restoration extends to their home on Sutherlin Avenue, also on tour, and enthusiasm for the potential of properties throughout the Old West End.

The Danville land book for 1893 records the addition of this side-hall plan house, built for Mr. J. A. Yancey on a 45-foot lot; it was assessed at $1,100 . Little is known about Mr. Yancey, Patton Street grocer who lived here, presumably, until only few months prior his death in May 1900. The preceding January, Yancey and his wife, the former Kate Nelson, had sold the property to Samuel D. Rickman. Rickman, a railroad dispatcher for the narrow-gauge Danville & Western Railroad – a.k.a. the "Dick and Willie" – lived here with his family through the First World War before moving to 826 Grove Street.

In 1919 the Rickmans conveyed their Green Street house to Hettie J. Hutson and her husband John. After Mrs. Hutson's death in 1926, their son, John Jr., inherited the property which he sold in 1928 to Moss W. Turner. The following year Mr. and Mrs. Turner conveyed the property, in turn, to their son Russell, who lived here with his parents until the eve of World War II. The Turner home continued to shelter Moss and Dora Turner into the 1950s. After Mrs. Turner died in 1956, her husband conveyed the property to the first in a succession of absentee owners.

Until the recent dramatic reclamation of the house, nearly 50 years of decline had taken their toll. Enter Richard Morris and Mark Willard, transplants from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, who could see past the dwelling's decadent shell, right down to good "bones." An architect, Mr. Morris channeled his professional expertise and design-build abilities to ensure that new rear rooms and service areas meld seamlessly with the formal antique original spaces. Outside, an authentic late Victorian palette emphasizes its geometry, now freshly painted in rich earth tones.

Rev. February 8, 2021 56 Danville, VA Old West End Historic District Green Street

Since moving to Danville's Old West End in 2015, a husband and wife musical duo, both ardent devotees of Old-Time string music rooted deeply in the sounds of traditional Appalachian culture, continue to put down their own roots at 868 Green Street Their two-story Italianate house, built for tobacco speculator Felix G. McKinney in 1878, during the heyday of the city's post-Civil War tobacco marketing boom, later experienced periods of loving care and benign neglect, and worse.

Following several decades of relative well-being and stability well into the 20th century, including a sensitive refurbishing by members of the H.W. Brown (Florist) family on the eve of World War II, the once-proud dwelling languished again mid-century. Following a succession of owners into the 1980s, it returned to the caring hands of a Brown descendant, Thomas T. Shadrick. Mr Shadrick stripped off shabby asphalt cladding – among other indignities – from the house, recapturing its original appearance that brought into focus once more it's dramatic two- level portico and cornice ornamented with fanciful scroll-saw work and other Italian inspired details. Mr Shadrick's successful campaign to restore his birthplace continued when Steve and Susan Wilson acquired the property in 2007. Their extensive, but thoughtful, upgrades to create livable spaces that also respect the integrity of its dignified interior, attracted the present multi- talented couple, music makers who now call this Green Street landmark their home.

Tour Book 1983:

Built in 1894 for Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Brown from plans drawn by their eldest son, this cheerful two-story clapboard house is an example of the workmanship of the contractors Charles L. Norton and Thomas D. Brann. At this address, where the Browns raised seven children, they also operated a retail flower business until 1925, when the present Chestnut Street store, known as H.W. Brown Florist, was built. This year, the florist business Mr. Brown established is observing its centennial. When first built, this rather restrained example of late- Victorian architecture stood adjacent to a board-and-batten Carpenter Gothic dwelling on the corner owned by the early Danville physician Dr. Thomas D. Stokes. It is not known whether Dr. Stokes ever lived in this reputed architectural gem, but its style was quite similar to his 1850s stucco Gothic Revival cottage still standing on Pine Street.

One of the Brown's children who grew up here, later achieved statewide note as the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia, the Right Rev. William A. Brown. Three other of the Brown children continued to live in the family home some years after the death of their parents -- Samuel C. Brown until his death in 1944, and Violet and Myrtle Brown until the late 1960s.

A grandson of the original builder, Thomas T. Shadrick, and his wife Myrtle are currently restoring the house, where they plan to move in about a year. The owners have returned the exterior to its original appearance, reproducing the 1890s color scheme of yellow siding with white trim and dark window sash. The large yard includes a decades-old swimming pool, one of the city's first, and lots of space for the Shadrick's springer spaniel, Chauncey.

Tour Book 1986:

Of three houses associated with the same family, all featured on this year’s tour, this restoration is only the latest by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas T. Shadrick. They began in 1974 with the house across the street at 879 Green Street, where their son and daughter-in-law, Terry and Phyllis Shadrick, now live. Later they worked extensively with their daughter and son-in-law, Sallie and Luis Abreu, to restore their house at 169 Holbrook Avenue. As Preservation Chairman for the Danville Historical Society, Mr. Shadrick has also spearheaded the renovation of several of the

Rev. February 8, 2021 69 Danville, VA Old West End Historic District Green Street

Society’s houses in the area targeted for restoration since 1980 — the blocks of Green adjoining Sutherlin and Holbrook avenues and Chestnut Street.

The Shadricks move here just over a year ago marks for Mr. Shadrick especially a return to his roots; his grandfather, H.W. Brown, had this house built in 1894. From this house, now repainted in its original yellow- and-white scheme, Mr. Brown and his family operated the “Flower Garden” until 1925 when the present Chestnut Street shop opened. That business, begun 103 years ago, continues as H.W. Brown Florist.

When first built this charming example of Queen Anne vernacular architecture stood adjacent to a board and batten Carpenter Gothic dwelling nearer the corner. This reputed architectural gem, owned by one of Danville’s first physicians, Thomas D. Stokes, was quite similar to Dr. Stokes’ stucco Gothic Revival cottage at 879 Pine Street.

The house is an example of the building skills of contractors Charles L. Norton and Thomas D. Brann, who built according to plans drawn by the Brown’s eldest son, Harry R. Brown. Another son who grew up here later achieved statewide note as the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia, the Right Rev. William A. Brown. Three other of the Brown children continued to live in the family home some years after the death of their parents — Samuel C. Brown until his death in 1944, and Violet and Myrtle Brown until the late 1960s.

During their two-year restoration project, the Shadricks found that, because the house had never left the care of the Brown family, they were blessed with many beautiful features intact — pine mouldings, woodwork and staircase, never painted, that had only to be cleaned and lightly refinished. They have subtly highlighted its Victorian mantles, ceiling medallions, and other handsome features to give the house a late-19th century flavor that is never heavy-handed. Theirs is not only a beautiful home but also one that reflects the continuity of a family identified with the same neighborhood for more than a century.

Many persons are familiar with the successful transformation of the first floor of this structure Into Brown's 879 Shop. More recently the second floor, reached by a handsome spiral staircase, has been returned to its original use, as residential space.

R. B. Graham, a well-known architect and contractor, built this house for his residence in 1885 About fifteen years later he remodeled the facade, adding a domed, three-story corner tower of brick like that used In the Southern Railway Station he built on Craghead Street In 1899. In 1907 Mr. and Mrs. Graham moved to Main Street and sold their house to T. Allan Fox, who lived there nearly 25 years. After his death in 1931, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Stephens acquired the house. It was sold to W. Dan Cooper in 1960. In 1973 the Cooper heirs gave the house to the Danville Historical Society, whose plans to restore it were hampered at that time

Rev. February 8, 2021 74 Danville, VA Old West End Historic District Green Street

by a lack of funds. Consequently, the Society gave the house to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas T. Shadrick who put it to constructive use in 1976 as a seasonal gift and decorative accessory shop. Their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. T. Terry Shadrick, have refurbished the second floor for their home. Original architectural details were retained in a remodeling sensitive to the needs of a young couple.

Tour Book 1982:

The first among several Green Street houses in recent years to receive a loving restoration, 879 Green Street is also among the most important architecturally, a house that looks to be the architect-designed dwelling it is. It began as a rather modest two-story house in 1885, having been built on a lot purchased by R.B. Graham, a local architect-builder, from Dr. John M. Hutchings, who lived next door at 901 Green Street. About fifteen years later, Graham remodeled his home in the more "aesthetic" Queen Anne style of the day, with an angular two- and-a half-story gable end front flanked by a circular three-story domed brick tower. The buff- colored brick in the tower and that used in the railroad passenger station on Craghead Street for which Graham was contractor in 1899 appear to be the same. By this time Richard Bertrand Graham, who had come to Danville from his native Loudoun County in 1877, had achieved a deservedly high reputation as one of the city's leading architect-contractors, as well as a measure of prosperity. In 1907 he and his wife, the former Jane Booth, moved to larger quarters on Main Street, and sold their house to Mr. and Mrs. T. Allan Fox, who lived here about a quarter of a century. After the death of Mr. Fox in 1931, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Stephens acquired the house. In 1960 it was sold to W. Dan Cooper. In 1973 the Cooper heirs gave the house to the Danville Historical Society, which after doing some preliminary work, deeded the property to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas T. Shadrick, who brought the house back to new life and a new use. Since 1976 the Shadricks have operated the popular 879 Shop on the first floor. Its striking tiled entrance with a spiral staircase, and gleaming parquet floors make an opulent setting for gifts and decorative accessories. After the current holiday sales season, the Shadrick's son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. T. Terry Shadrick, who have been living on the second floor, will be occupying the entire house in order to accommodate what is now a family of four, since the birth of a son, Kristopher, last month.

Tour Book 1986:

For a dozen years two generations of the Shadrick family, father and son, have worked to return this familiar landmark to its turn-of-the- century polish. During this time its evolution from a candiate for the wrecker, to a popular gift shop (with a second-floor apartment), and back to its original use as a single-family dwelling has been an unqualified success. This restoration was also a turning point for Green Street where, house by house, historic rehabilitation is continuing apace.

One of Danville’s leading architect-contractors of the late Victorian era, R.B. Graham, built this house for his own dwelling in 1885. Originally a fairly simple Italianate house, it was redesigned by Graham in 1899, at the height of the Queen Anne taste. Typical of this “aesthetic” taste is the steeply-pitched, two-and-a-half-story gable end, and the contrast of wood, shingles, and stone with the brick of the three-story domed tower. This pressed brick appears to be the same as that used in Danville’s railroad passenger station on Craghead Street for which Graham was also

Rev. February 8, 2021 75 Danville, VA Old West End Historic District Green Street

contractor in 1899. By this time Richard Bertrand Graham, who had come to Danville from his native Loudoun County in 1877, had “constructed many of Danville’s fine residences and most of its factories at a time when they were numbered by the score.” His prominence and prosperity led him to a still larger home in 1907 when with his wife, the former Jane Booth, he moved to the former C.G. Holland house at 818 Main Street, among those razed two decades ago to build the present YMCA. They sold their Green Street home to Mr. and Mrs. T. Allan Fox, who lived here about a quarter century. After the death of Mr. Fox in 1931, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Stephens acquired the house. In 1960 it was sold to W. Dan Cooper. In 1973 the Cooper heirs gave the house to the Danville Historical Society which, after doing some preliminary work, conveyed the property to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas T. Shadrick.

From 1976-1982 the Shadricks adapted the house as Brown’s 879 Shop. Since then, the Shadrick’s son, and his wife and two young sons, who were living on the second floor above the shop, have occupied the entire house.

Using such touches as Eastlake-period wallpaper borders and warm neutral colors, the Terry Shadricks have reinforced the feeling of elegance that RB. Graham introduced in 1899 — floors of intricate parquet and encaustic tile, and a dramatic spiral staircase. Concealed from the street is a nod to gracious contemporary living, an inviting deck recently added to the rear of the house as the owners’ outdoor living room.

Tour Book 2002:

A local architect-contractor responsible for scores of Danville’s noteworthy structures late in the 19th century built the first incarnation of the house at 879 Green Street in 1885. Just before the turn of the 20th century, RB. Graham added to his Italianate dwelling an array of Queen Anne details including a striking corner tower of buff-colored brick like that he used in building the railroad passenger station on Craghead Street.

By the 1970s, the deteriorating structure became the first venture of the newly-organized Danville Historical Society after the heirs of the W. Dan Cooper family, which had acquired the property in 1960, gave it to the DHS. Financially unable to stabilize the house beyond general cleanup and replacement of the leaky roof, the Society gave the house to Thomas and Myrtle Shadrick, owners of the venerable H.W. Brown Florist nearby. Doing much of the renovation themselves, the Shadricks adapted the building as a seasonal gift and decorative accessories shop. After Brown’s 879 Shop closed in 1982, the Shadrick’s son T. Terry Shadrick, and his family, moved from the second floor to occupy the entire house.

In 1990, they sold the house which had been a family project for more than fifteen years to Dr. and Mrs. Robert Honea. Since 1995 this landmark has been home to Brian and Kristen Blair. Following the example of their predecessors for a generation, the Blairs just completed a careful exterior restoration, repainting the structure in Victorian hues.

Tour book 1980:

This century-old house is one of several on Green Street that are undergoing transformation as attractive period residences that take advantage of their rich Victorian detail and design. In a little over a year's time its present owners, Mr. and Mrs. Gary W. Osborne, have enlivened its Italianate and Classical features with a splash of 19th-century color -- ivory and dark red accents. New paint, wallpaper, and redecoration inside give a fresh youthful look to the spacious, high ceilinged rooms with ornamental plaster moldings.

A two-story clapboard house with shouldered window surrounds, and a bracketed cornice typical of the popular Italianate style of the 1860s and '70s, the structure also boasts a classically-inspired porch with a circular corner pavilion, common to turn-of-the-[20th]-century dwellings. Possibly the first house in the block, it was built about 1878 by James B. Ley, a stone mason and contractor by profession. Mr. Ley and members of his family continued to live here until 1939 when his widow, Mary Moseley Ley, sold the house to James Herbert Brett. Two years later it was purchased by Mr.and Mrs. Harry W. Brewer. Since early 1979 when the Osbornes acquired the property from Mrs. Brewer, the young couple have rehabilitated the house extensively, installing a beautiful new kitchen and refurbishing most of the formal rooms, doing almost all the work themselves. This restoration still in progress should prove especially interesting to those who would like to see an old house being brought back to life.

Tour Book 1998:

The most ‘antique’ of the structures on the DHS tour this year, the home of Dr. Ann Garbett at 931 Green Street reveals to the careful observer clues to its presumed late antebellum origins.

Rev. February 8, 2021 124 Danville, VA Old West End Historic District Green Street

However, its cheerful yellow facade, busy with fishscale shingled gables and a Queen Anne-style, spindle-work porch, relates this comfortable dwelling to the heyday of Green Street at the turn of the 20th century. By that time, most of the street’s earliest dwellings, like this one, had been reborn to resemble their newer, more fashionable neighbors.

Although deeds and land records do not pinpoint the exact year when the first phase of the house was built, design elements of its oldest section, especially such features as the hand- planed two-panel doors in Dr. Garbett’s dining room and library, point to the decade just prior to the Civil War. In fact, buried behind later facades along the street are at least four dwellings which may have begun as simple, two-story, wood I- houses—the sort of no-nonsense domestic buildings which dotted Virginia and North Carolina towns and countryside alike on the eve of the Civil War.

A three-acre parcel with “appurtenances thereon,’ most likely including the early core of the house now standing at 931 Green Street, was sold to William S. and George C. Ayres in November of 1864. Re0ecting perhaps wartime inflation, this $8,000 sale benefitted the estate of the late Dr. Nathaniel T. Green, namesake for the street itself, as well as Green Street Park and Green hill Cemetery.

Two decades later, the estate of William Ayres sold at auction a subdivided portion of this acreage, a 62-foot lot stretching from Green to Colquohoun Street, with improvements, to Matilda Myers. It is not known if, or how long, Matilda Myers or members of her family lived here. Her name never appears in any Danville city directories for the twenty years between 1885 and 1905, although during this period a joseph Myers and a C.H. Myers are known to have lived somewhere on Green Street. For the nearly 20 years of Myers’ family ownership, it is certain only that the Dugger family, who must have rented the house, lived for a time at 931 Green Street. According to the 1898-99 city directory, members of this family included a widow, Addle G.; Henry B.; and Benjamin E. and David H. Dugger; both employed with Mr. John H. Patrick at Dugger & Patrick, tobacco commission merchants. The property was sold in 1904 by a presumed relative, Joseph Myers, possibly the same individual listed in Danville directories of a few years earlier. Then a resident of Chesterfield County, Virginia, Mr. Myers conveyed the house and lot to Sarah K. Perkinson for $1,240.

Members of the Perkinson family lived at this address for next half century. In addition to Sarah K. (Waddill) Perkinson, the widow of James Robert Perkinson, at least two other generations of the family called 931 Green Street home. These included a son, Albert lames Perkinson, and his wife, the former Carolyn Turner, and their children James W Perkinson and Carolyn T. Perkinson. Following the death in 1954 of Al. Perkinson, long a respected Danville tobacconist, his widow sold the house to Miles and Viola Bennett. A few months after Mrs. Bennett died in 1978, her heirs sold the property to Drs. Coy and Ann Garbett, who had relocated to Danville from Arkansas after joining the faculty of Averett College.

Along with the Shadrick family’s restoration by the of the old Graham-Fox House at 879 Green Street in the mid-I 970s, the subsequent refurbishing of 931 Green Street gave impetus to the reclamation of Green Street which continues today. Dr. Garbett, a professor of English at Averett College, was an urban pioneer along with her late husband, Dr. Coy Garbett, who nearly twenty years ago was the catalyst for the dynamic Preservation Revolving Fund that recently

Rev. February 8, 2021 125 Danville, VA Old West End Historic District Green Street

initiated the salvation of the seventh home on Green Street for owner-occupancy The visible and gratifying achievements of a number of individuals like Ann and Coy Garbett, coupled with the eighteen-year efforts of the Society, are abundantly evident all along the street today.

Inside, the house at 931 Green Street is a handsome personal expression of the owner’s long- time enthusiasm for architecture, art and antiques. Original artwork by several accomplished Danville-area artists complements period 19th-century antiques, mostly American Federal, Empire, and Victorian pieces, throughout these spacious rooms. Dr. Garbett’s passion for books is evident in the library, a quiet, jewel-toned sanctuary of mellow oak, leather upholstery, art pottery, and hundreds of volumes. She cultivates her culinary talents in the recently-refurbished kitchen, a light, airy room that is functional, yet respectful of the character of the structure.
