This home was built in 1917 by Douglas Broyles a merchant/salesman in the town. The home is in the bungalow style with what is called a foursquare floor plan, which is four rooms forming a square, with no hallway. The original home had one bedroom. Prior to the 1950s, two small rooms were added to the back. The home features 10-foot ceilings, one heart pine floor, and a rosette at the top corner of the window and doors. It has two fireplaces with a third said to be hidden behind the dining room’s built-in hutch and buffet. The home has been in the student family since the 1950s. It was home to Charles and Kim Sturdivant for several years. Charles is the son of Jim Sherman and grandson of Claude and Tiny Sturdivant who lived at 308 Church St.
