This was my mother's childhood home, her name was Frances Ramsey Lewis. It was built in the 1930s by Robert Floyd Ramsey, her grandfather. His brother-in-law built an identical home in Bluefield, West Virginia. This working farm, called Hickory Grove, included land up to the railroad and beyond and also on the other side of 460 directly in front of the house. The home stayed in the family until the mid-1950s.

This is the old Lee Grant Motel on Route 460 just west of town. It is no longer there. I remember it had a souvenir shop and was later converted into an antique mall before finally being torn down.

The Quik-E Mart. Of interesting note is the large tree growing in the lower right corner of the photo (the trunk is covered up by the Vintage Aerial logo). That tree stood there forever and the whole town was upset when it was cut down to make way for a business.

This is the home of the Wright family who owned Maude's Restaurant for a time and also had a catering company. They owned another restaurant in town as well, where the Subway is now, I cannot recall the name.

This is the corner of Court Street and Virginia Avenue. The building in the center was the office of Drs. Matthews and Fratrick. It later became the Health Department. It is now a county office of some variety

Torrence Dairy Farm. My brother married Sheila Torrence and they were living in that house when this photo was taken.
