ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
1403-15 UNIVERSITY AVENUE: This appears to be a nineteenth century
frame building that was brick veneered in 1927. A photograph c. 1920
appears to show the present storefronts with a continuous bracketed wooden
cornice on a very low parapet. The small triangular-shaped building is now
brick veneered in stretcher bond above a marble foundation. The three
principal storefronts have paneled side entrance recesses, paneled spandrels
below the display windows (#1405 has retained its multi-light display
window.), and individual wooden storefront entablatures supported on three
Tuscan plasters. There is a small jack-arched window to the east of the third
storefront. A round-arched brick entry with marble floor has been built onto
the clipped corner at the east end of the building.
HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION
A one-story frame building stood on the site of the western two-thirds of this
building when John E. Gibbon purchased the property from the estate of Dr.
Marcellus McKennie in 1891 (ACBD 95-393). McKennie had inherited it
from his father C. P. McKennie, who purchased it in 1835 as part of a larger
tract (ACBD 32-142). Tax records indicate that there were no buildings on
the tract before 1850. The 1896 Sanborn map shows that this was a duplex
store building and that by 1896 a third unit had been added in the triangular
eastern corner of the lot. Gibbon sold it to S. C. Chancellor in 1897 (ACDB
108-460). M. Timberlake, Inc., bought it from Chancellor’s estate in 1923
(City DB 45-5) and sold it two years later to Howard B. Cook (DB 51-131).
Tax records show that improvements were added in 1927. This probably
included the enlarging and brick veneering of this building. M. Timberlake
Inc., bought it back in 1933 (DB 79-411) and sold it to Marshall Timberlake
in 1937 (DB 94-118). It is still owned by the Timberlake family (WB 5-400;
DB 134-70). Barbers, tailors, small lunch rooms, and gift shops have been
the usual occupants of the store rooms.
SIGNIFICANCE
This is probably one of the first commercial buildings on the Corner. It has
been brick veneered, but the storefronts have retained much mid-19th century
fabric.

1515 UNIVERSITY AVENUE: The Minor House is two stories tall, triple pile, and
constructed of brick laid in a 5-course American with Flemish bond on the sides and rear.
It has a high-pitched hip roof now covered with composition shingles, with projecting
eaves, boxed cornice, and Philadelphia gutters. The original chimneys have been
removed. There is a small, steep gable covered with pressed tin on each side of the
house, centered on the east side, over the western half of the rear elevation, and over
projecting bays on the façade and west side. The projecting bay on the west side is semioctagonal, and spool brackets support the over hanging corners of the roof. Windows are
double-sash, 1-over-1 light, and segmental-arched at the first level. There is a pair of 4over-4 light attic windows in each gable. A one-story veranda originally extended from
the projecting bay to the east end of the façade. The flat-roofed commercial building
replaces the veranda and extends to the street. It is two storeys tall and three bays wide.
Construction is of brick laid in stretcher bond. The façade is of pressed brick. The
façade is arcaded, with round arches with keystones springing from a corbelled stringcourse at window top level. The area below the arches has been filled in and covered
with a massive metal sign .. there are two separate doors, flanked by pilasters, in the entry
recess in the center bay, indicating that the building was once divided into two store
rooms. Narrow, wooden pilasters also flank the display windows in the side bays. There
is a segmental-arched pair of double-sash, 1-over-1 light windows in each bay at the
second level. There are matched corbelled brick cornices with mousetoothing above the
storefront and just below the plain concrete-capped parapet. The parapet cornice
continues along the east (Minor Court) side of the building. A narrow space separates
this building from the one on the west. The first bay on each side of the building is
similar to the façade. There is a large thermal window at the first level on the Minor
Court side. Most of the windows at the first level have been closed, but there is a single
window in each bay at the second level. The entrance to the stair hall serving both old
and new buildings occupies the last two bays of the commercial building. The corbelled
storefront cornice above it continues over three storefronts (two now bricked up) which
have been cut into the east side of the Minor House.
Miss Kate Minor purchased this lot from Raleigh C. Minor in 1894 (ACDB 102-296) and
built the house in 1896, according to tax records. At her death in 1918, she willed it to
her sister Anne P. Minor (City WB 2-131). J. H. Irving Minor and Harry H. Robinson,
who operated the University Grocery a block away, bought the house form Anne Minor
in 1926 (City DB 55-235) and built the large commercial building on the front the next
year. Jameson’s Bookstore occupied the western store room, and later the combined
store room, from 1927 until the mid-1950’s. Lloyd’s Rexall Drug Store has occupied it
since that time. The Minor House was used as a boarding house for the University
students for many years, and there are still rental rooms on the second level. The first
level is used by the University Cafeteria as a kitchen and storeroom. The Minor Court
Building was awarded to Irving’s estate when Irving and Robinson’s holdings were
partitioned in 1940 (DB 104-142). John D. and Evelyn H. Lloyd purchased it from his
heirs in 1964 (DB 253-94 and 98).

1700 UNIVERSITY AVENUE: St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is six bays long and three
bays wide with a narthex with full-height portico. It is set on a high foundation of brick
laid in a 5-course American bond with a stepped water table. Wall construction is of
brick laid in Flemish bond. The medium-pitched gable roof is covered with fiberglass
shingles and has Baltimore gutters and an entablature with dentiled cornice. Windows
are double-sash, 12-over-12 light, with architrave trim, stone sills, and entablature with
pediment. The narthex is somewhat shorter and its roof continues into a full height
pedimented Roman Doric portico with an entablature with triglyphs and dentiled cornice.
The square central entrance tower projects slightly into the portico. It has a cornice and
Chinese Chippendale roof balustrade. Upon this is set a conical wooden cupola with
louvered air vents and 8 pilasters supporting an entablature and copper stepped dome
with a Greek cross. The central entrance in the base of the tower has a pair of 8-paneled
doors with a 7-light rectangular tramson set within a paneled entry recess with an
entablature and a pediment supported on scroll brackets. In each side bay there is a
single door and 3-light transom with architrave trim. The interior is pilastered and has
paneled wainscot and a cornice with dentil moulding. The ceiling is gently arched.
There is no balcony or gallery. The chancel is semi-octagonal in shape. Interior doors
are also 8-paneled and have pediments supported on scroll brackets. A wing containing a
chapel is one bay wide and covers the rear half of the western elevation. It is somewhat
shorter than the main block and its entablature lacks the dentil moulding. On the façade,
two pilasters carry an entablature and pediment over a pair of 8-paneled entrance doors
with a 5-light rectangular transom. The 1926 cornerstone is in the wall of this wing. A
1955 addition covers the eastern elevation of the church at the basement level only. It
has half-round wheel windows. A stone parapet cornice and Colonial Revival roof
balustrade conceal a flat roof. A slightly shorter wing covers the rear elevation and is
flanked by 2-story side wings of the same height. It is set on a low foundation, and wall
construction is also of brick laid in Flemish bond. The gable roof has a plain boxed
cornice and pedimented gables. There is a large interior chimney in the west wing and an
interior end chimney in the east wing, both with caps and stringcourses. The rear
elevation of the flanking wings are double-sash, 6-over-6 light, with architrave trim, jack
arches, and black louvered shutters. A one-story flat-roofed vestibule in the southeast
corner replaces an arcaded open entrance porch.
Plans were begun in 1908 for the establishment of an Episcopal Church at the University,
and the following year, the J. Edgar Chancellor house was purchased (ACDB 141-54,
151-338). The house was demolished, a wooden church was erected immediately, and
the first service was held on September 18, 1910. That building was enlarged in 1915
and eventually moved to Fifeville in 1926 to be used as a mission. Ground had been
broken for the present building in 1924. The cornerstone was laid on April 13, 1926, and
the building was dedicated on September 18, 1927. It was consecrated on January 15,
1950. The design of the church was chosen from two prepared by architect Eugene
Bradbury. The Greek cross and balustrade on the tower were added in 1955, and the
basement-level east wing was built c. 1959. The chancels of both church and chapel
were remodeled by Milton Grigg in the 1950’s.
