Rigsby Station and Home

RIGSBY HOUSE, 103 N. Benton St.: In 1924, Claude and Evalina Rigsby bought this house, which stands on Lots 6 and 7 in Block 4 of the original town of Waynesville. The foundation is made of rough-hewn logs and was constructed in the 1870s by Judge Vandover Berry Hill. The Rigsbys operated their Standard Service station next door to this home for more than three decades.

RIGSBY BUILDING & MARKER, 229 Historic Route 66: This building was constructed in 1951 by Claude Rigsby. It replaced a frame building that had been built in 1941 to house his wife’s (Evalina) beauty parlor. The new brick building’s first story housed a barber shop, a beauty parlor, and a three-room apartment. The second story included two three-room apartments.
