830 Pine St, Danville, VA 24541

This two-story frame dwelling, which originally included only five rooms, was conveyed in trust for Sallie E. Clark, 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 Wm 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 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 $5,500 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. In 1930, he became the Chief Engineer of the City Electric Plant. Mrs. Anglin, who was widowed in 1943, lived in the Pine Street home until she moved to 133 Holbrook Avenue. Purchased by E.C. Gerringer as a rental property in 1972, the first tenants were Robert Conington and Alex Crawley. The home was also used an Averett College fraternity house in 1986, until it was purchased by the William Wellbank and C.B. Maddox at 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. Their first effort to stabilize the structure was to raise the right back corner of the stairwell eighteen inches from settling due to a leaking roof. Wellbank and Maddox sold the home to Thomas James Peverill in 2003, but again gained ownership in 2014. The property became part of the land bank shortly thereafter. . Now available as a fixer-upper with an architectural review already completed. Rehab and occupancy covenants required. Brokers protected.
