Webb House

The Webb House is a small two-room house of the late 19th century, built for James Wright Webb (or a tenant) on a tract of his father's land. The gable roof, pierced by a central chimney and clad in patterned tin, rests on a shallow box cornice. The three-bay facade is sheltered by a hip-roof porch with one chamfered post visible, the rest replaced. A kitchen, formerly connected by a breezeway with the gap now enclosed, extends from the rear; another rear room was added later.

The dwelling is simply Piened with few decorative details. The 4/4 sash windows, four-— and five-panel doors, and narrow tongue-and-groove sheathing are typical ordinary materials. Five tobacco barns (one of log construction), and a

frame smoke house and small pack house provide an appropriate agricultural

setting; the grounds are further enhanced by several mature oaks.
