Description
This is a view taken from West Main Street, looking east toward the business block. The house on the left is that of Captain Richard Robinson, later owned by Dr. J. E. Walker and Mrs. Josephine Walker. Dr. Walker removed the house and built a Classic Colonial Revival home on the site in 1899.
The bay windows of what was then the Baptist parsonage are just visible through the trees on the right.
Mrs. Walker was very active in the DAR.
