They're Creepy and They're Kooky...


This is one of the many, many beautiful houses mansions along Danville's Main Street which is known as Millionaire's Row. It is the largest collection of Victorian and Edwardian architecture in the Southern United States. Danville's economic boom in the late 1800s brought about Tobacoo and Textile tycoons from the Tidewater areas of Virginia and made many millionaires here with some extravagant houses.
I think this one looks like the Addam's Family House; what do you think?

  1. It sure does! It has gorgeous details though (like the door and the museum) and I hope that it gets restored someday.

    Your information about tobacco and the cigarette brands was an interesting revelation to me.

    Welcome to the CDP community! Looking forward to learning more about (yet another) place I know nothing about. :)
