A LANDMARK
BEING TORNAWAY
Dr. Estell Property Will Be Re-
placed BY Modern Struc-
ture-One of the Oldest
Buildings in Town

Tazewell may now appropriately be
called a modern town. The last of the
original buildings is being torn away to
be replaced by a new and modern resi-.
dence.
The old house, now owned by DIR.
Painter, formerly and for many years
owned and occupied by the late DIR. J.
M. Es,ill, on Main Street, is being dis
mantled and cleaned away by Heldreth
Bros. who viii build the new residence.
The house is 2-story, built solidly OF
hewn logs, as was customary in those
days. Some time later the building
was lathed and plastered on the inside
and weather boarded. Dr. Estill purchas
ed the property from q. w. Brown, in
lS49, for $3.50.
Mr.. Isaac Chapman says that this
house was standing when he came to
Tazewell in 1S43, and seemed to have
been built long time In all proba-
bility the house was built more than 10
years ago.
The entire structure is in as good
shape as when first put up.
One remarkable thing about the
building Is, that for the past 55 years
it has been owned and occupied by
physicians. DIR. Estill sold to DIR. r..
b. Gillespie, and he to DIR. Painter. the
present owner.
Mr.. j. II. Moore, of Pocahontas. who
has been a student at the Medical
College Of Virginia, has returned to his
home.
Jack and Willie May, sons Of attorney
s. d. May, have returned from school
at Pantops Academy at Charlottesville,
and J. N. Hartman, Jr. has returned
from Lynchburg Christian College.

the marriage on the eight instant OF
