The property was purchased for a home in 10928 but the home was not completed until 1931. Of course we all know what prolific event in US History occurred in that time? The Great Depression, which gound have played a role in its delayed completion. The home was built by Walter Crews for Mr. Sidney Cutss and his family. Mr. Currs was one of the area's more prominent tobacco auctioneers. The unique features of the house are the Tudor Revival styling with steep hipped roofs, the broken brick exterior and the clay pots that top the chimneys. Inside there is a beautiflul solid marble mantle that I was told was brought over from France following World War II. The house has a ghost, but always just friendly reminders.
