Vance House

This elegant house was built for Rowena Vance in 1859. The Vances used the basement as storage for processed cotton. During the Conrads’ ownership of the property, the home was stripped out and both floors were used as warehouse space. Refitted by Ruth Lawler, it served as a rental property following World War II, and afterwards as the Lawlers’ home. Many local residents recall taking piano lessons in the parlor.
