This two-story frame dwelling, which originally included only five rooms, was conveyed in trust
for Sallie E., also known as Sarah E., Clark, and her children on February 15, 1890, from the
Estate of William S. Patton. Mr. Patton was a principal in the respected banking firm of Win S.
Patton, Sons & Co., established in 1865.
In 1915, the home was sold to two sisters, Mrs. Posey W. Ashworth and Florence M. Ramey, for
$2,800. Mrs. Ramey was a grocer at the corner of Dame and Green streets. The 1925 City
Rev. October 26, 2015

Danville, VA
Old West End Historic District
Pine Street
Directory lists the family business, Ramey & Ashworth, Inc., as dealing in real estate, rentals,
loans, and general insurance at its office in the Dudley Building.
In 1928, the home was sold for $5500 to Elsie G. Anglin, who resided there with her husband,
William B. Anglin. Mr. Anglin was employed as a mechanic at the city’s Light & Power Station,
and later in 1930, became the Chief Engineer of the City Electric Plant. Mrs. Anglin, who was
widowed in 1943, lived in the Pine Street home until 1%9 when she moved to 133 Holbrook
Avenue. Purchased by E.C. Gerringer in 1972, the first tenants were Robert Conington and Alex
Crawley. The home was used as a rental, including a period in 1986 when it was an Averett
College fraternity house, until it was purchased by the current owners at an auction in 1988.
Determined to purchase and restore, Mr. Wellbank and Mr. Maddox finalized the transaction
with a bank credit card because no lender would assume the risk of financing even at the sales
price of $2,700.
When the owners started to stabilize the structure, the right back corner of the stairwell had to
be raised eighteen inches from settling due to a leaking roof. The kitchen was originally a
wraparound porch, part of which served as a pantry before becoming the first full bath. The first
kitchen was across the hall in a totally separate building connected by a breezeway to the
home.
The furniture in the dining room, which was an addition, is older than the home. The Empire
table and chairs date from the 1870’s. The china cabinet was brought to Charlottesville from
Pennsylvania in 1913 by Mr. Maddox’s grandfather. In the formal parlor, the rug in front of the
fireplace is a Tabriz, and the Queen Anne furniture is cherry. his restoration in progress provides
a glimmer of hope for other property owners on the street.

Bee 7 Dec 1977: About 6 p.m. yesterday Richard Leroy Ott of 879 Pine St. reported that his 1969
Chrysler was missing. Less than five hours later Herman Lee Canada of 864 Pine St. was picked up on
that street by police, and charged with unauthorized use of Ott’s auto.
Tour Book 1997:
Unique in Danville, and a rarity in much of the state, the picturesque house at 879 Pine Street
survives from the days of antebellum Danville when Pine and Chestnut were new streets and
the trees for which they were named, the scrub and loblolly pines and the now-nearly-extinct
American chestnut dominated the Eastern forests. Referred to as the “House in the Pines” in
Farrar and Hines’s book Old Virginia Houses: The Heart of Virginia, the house certainly conjures
up the quaint forest images reminiscent of the Gingerbread House in Hansel and Gretel.
Evidence from local deed and land books suggests the structure was built sometime between
1853, when Dr. Nathaniel T. Green first sold this parcel unimproved, and 1857, when the
records suggest there was already a dwelling on the lot. By 1857, another esteemed local
physician, Dr. Thomas D. Stokes, had acquired part interest in the property. Local tradition holds
it was Dr. Stokes who built this Gothic- Revival-style cottage. It would appear that Dr. Stokes, a
native of Caswell County and graduate of the “Medical College in Philadelphia,” had an affinity
for the Gothic Revival style. Shortly after he returned to Danville and began his practice about

Pine Street
1843, he is known to have constructed a board-and-batten Gothic-style house, on the corner of
Green at Chestnut Street, before the house at 879 Pine Street he is presumed to have built.
Dr. Stokes is reported to have “amassed considerable wealth,” and property, including the area
still called Stokesland, at the south end of Danville. A lifelong bachelor, Dr. Stokes left no direct
heirs. In 1894, several years after his death, his house passed to a niece Lemma P. Withers, the
wife of one of Dr. Stokes’ executors, Col. Elijah B. Withers, a prominent local attorney. After
Mrs. Withers’ death in 1907, the estate was settled the following year through a sale to an
adjacent neighbor, the florist Mr. H.W. Brown. For many years thereafter the Brown’s son
Dudley lived in the house. After his death in 1966 it was purchased for use as rental property by
Mitchell R. Cope, who lived next door at 871 Pine Street. After his death in 1986, Mrs. Cope
continued for several years to live on Pine Street and lease the Gothic Revival cottage as
apartments. She died in 1994, the same year her administrators sold the 879 Pine Street
property to Anne Carter Lee Gravely.
No stranger to historic preservation, Anne Carter Lee Gravely lives in her family’s old home,
Mount Pleasant, a handsome Greek Revival brick dwelling she maintains in Rocky Mount,
Virginia. Highly regarded as an architectural historian, she is also a trustee of the Preservation
Alliance of Virginia and sits on the Advisory Board of the Roanoke Regional Preservation Office.
She is lead author of a forthcoming volume Virginia: Valley, South and West, part of the series
Buildings of the United States, published by the Society of Architectural Historians and Oxford
Press.
Attracted by Danville’s wealth of Victorian architecture, Ms. Gravely recognized the potential of
this outstanding Gothic Revival Cottage of stucco over brick. Her careful rehabilitation which, as
she describes it, remains a “work in progress,” has ensured the preservation of a singular
structure. Its small scale, use of steep gable ends, sawn barge-boarding and lancet arched
windows ally it with the designs of the landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing who
popularized such cottages in the mid-nineteenth century. One can imagine that this house may
have been lifted from an architectural pattern book of the type published by Downing and his
contemporaries. For the exterior of the structure, Ms. Gravely has employed a palette of earth
tones that were favored by the pre-Civil War architects and designers who promoted these
“organic” structures in natural settings over the “garish” white-washed Greek- and ClassicalRevival “temples”, nowhere more popular than in the South. To the right of the house there is a
complementary nineteenth-century-style “living” gazebo of gnarled grapevines that makes a
picturesque sight in the full leaf of summer, or even bare.
Interior features retain the Gothic flavor as well. The lancet design is apparent especially in the
staircase with pointed arches which grace the paneling beneath the stairs and the balusters just
under the handrail.
Tour Book 2001:
Conjuring up images of the gingerbread house in Hansel and Gretel, this Gothic Revival cottage
is unique in Danville and a rarity in much of the state. It was built in the mid-1850s, presumably
by its first known resident—one of the town’s early and esteemed physicians—Dr. Thomas D.
Stokes. Lancet-arched windows and teardrop bargeboard decoration ally it with the

patternbook designs of such advocates of the Gothic style as Andrew Jackson Downing, the
landscape architect, and his contemporaries.
Interior features evidence the Gothic flavor as well. The lancet design is apparent especially in
the staircase with pointed arches which grace the paneling beneath the stairs and the balusters
just under the handrail.
Seven years ago, Anne Carter Lee Gravely, a resident of Rocky Mount, Virginia, purchased the
house to preserve and restore its singular architectural character, inside and out. For the past
year this dwelling has been home to Ms. Dorothy Nesbitt, whose interest in preservation is
more than avocational; she directs the City’s Downtown renaissance as Danville participates in
the National Main Street Program.
